It is a wooden two-story house located in a residential area of fire prevention zone of
Ukyo area in Kyoto city.
The inhabitants are a married couple in their late 20s and their children.
The site is a sunny airy three-way corner lot.
Totally different from the exterior that is made with an industrial finish due to the requirements of fire prevention area; the interior is warm and has opened a wide connection to the east side where the customer expects their future garden extension.
Being a working couple with no matching rest time, enriching everyday family life was sought by placing not just a living room on the first floor, but another living room in the second floor as a private space.
The design has been made with the assumption that, if the family would start to grow, this space will change for a future children’s room.

住まい手は20代後半のご夫婦と幼児。
敷地は日当り風通しの良い三方角地。
準防火地域の制限で自ずと決まった工業的な外壁とは対照的に暖かみのある
内部空間とクライアントの手によって今後豊かになっていく庭が緩やかに
繋がりをもつよう東側の開口を大きくとった。また、ご夫婦共働きで
休日もばらつきのある中で日常生活をより豊かに過ごして頂けるよう
1階のリビングとは別にプライベート空間としてのリビングを2階にも作った。
ここは将来、子どもが増えると個室として間仕切で作り変える想定になっている。
