Memory of the project
The plan of a house with a small beauty shop on the first floor. In a quiet residential area, surrounded by neighboring houses in three directions. Most houses in the area have only 2 stories and one is able to see the mountains far away.
I began to think how I can make a space open to the situation is surrounded by such. For example, when you’re walking in a forest in the mountains, you feel as though you’re being gently embraced though you’re not actually inside anything. Along the path, where the wind’s breezes encircle the trees’ leaves above, where one can hear the footsteps of creatures in the hush, the murmur of the wind in the trees... I think, an interior-like sense of place, you feel under the blue sky from a urban space.
I think it is good if you make a variety of outside that is visible from a height direction and a variety of site.
