A one-story house in a rural community surrounded by sweet potato fields. This is an area where "magariya," an L-shaped roof incorporating an stable into a square plan, was originally seen. Through many discussions with the client, a plan was created that reinterprets the "magariya" in a modern way by placing the water closet in the same location as the stable. The mud walls on the exterior of the house also suggest the appearance of a rural minka, but in an area with many fields, there is a lot of soil, and this has the advantage of not being noticeably soiled.
The house is open, which is unique to farming villages, and has a calm space where greenery can be seen from every corner. I was reminded that the comfort of a traditional 'minka' layout can be utilized in modern living.
