This house stands on a site facing a narrow, steep slope. Across the street is a forest, which promises a pleasant view with fresh greenery in summer, and crimson foliage in autumn. The client's request was a residential house containing a small gallery and office. The request suggested that the house must be open to the surrounding community. My answer to the requirement was to build a house afloat. To be precise, the gallery is the only grounded room, which is surrounded by a breezy and sunny wood deck raised at about 1 meter.
