This one-story house is made of local cedar through traditional construction methods.
Instead of developing a hillside area, I made use of the original landscape. The house is a raised flooring type house with granite cornerstones called ishibadate (a setup where pillars stand on stones instead of being fixed deep into the ground).

The client carried out the interior finishing, flooring and plastering a wall, by themselves.
