This site is in Nishioji – Hachijo, Kyoto. From the main road we enter into a secret location along the alley of 4 meters. This building is the collective housing, which consists of 11 units.

For the unknown compound housing fragmented completely hidden in the architecture. Instead, it was built to be regarded on the home of a great one.

Structure is covered with a wall in the holes made. And the form of holes like a trunk, leaves, root and lamps. As can be seen as clouds floating over the trees. Concrete way, which is based on the nature turns into a hollow cave, light, and sunlight filtered through the trees.

The idea of windows such as the sunlight that filtered through the trees and developed with the following methods: collective housing lined balconies average is completely hidden here, there is a balcony for each room, high ceiling in one room is raised, the housing units is high and one meter from the ground, and the floor level of the entrance, and apartments are different, focusing on the curved surface of the wall, central and interface architecture is sculptural, curved winding slot is on a curved surface of the wall, and the form of holes matches with zigzag incision, the result is one form of plant roots grow wavy than that.

Since the slots are made carved on the curved surface of the wall, it is inevitable that the material of the door in the twisted holes. This distortion is similar to a plant, style, and membership is free by nature.

Entrance to the house is carved from the root in the center of the anterior wall. Can be found on the path of an internal alien to the Kyoto can be found there. Which is an internal process is the narrow corridor that runs from street to street and a lot of that a lot.

In this project on the inner garden of the house is connected to the town of the client. He manages the collective housing by itself. Is the daily routine for a sweeping, arranging flowers at the entrance, and watering the track. And hence subject to the years after retirement.

This land was once the site of NIshihachijo – palace, which was the residence of the hero of this tragedy, classical Japanese, “a tale of Heike.” It was a stage of the rise and fall of one of the clans in the Horn of 12th. Such a sad life and memory is cherished, “said still among the people of this district.

Collective housing built on such a historic place should not be seen as an average house apartment. This is an idea occurred to us, which might have led us to the idea of a tree “immortal.” We, therefore, designed the building, which does not take the form of a mysterious tree, but instead in the form of intense and widespread with a hint of movement. Lot size of 16m × 19m. This structure gives the answer how to build low-mass in a quiet place, but dense.
