This is a house in a quiet residential area in Nishinomiya. The area around this site is lined with old houses, and there is no nice view outside the site. So we made a courtyard by taking advantage of the long sites north and south. The rooms other than the children's room are located on the first floor, and the dining room and kitchen are connected to the master bedroom centering on the courtyard. The road side on the south where the children's room is located is a two-story , and the height of the building decreases toward the north. Though a courthouse tends to be closed by giving priority to privacy, In this house,looking at the courtyard from the north window of the dining room, you can see only the sky and the green of the neighboring house above the one-story bedroom. It is a Borrowed scenery to create a view that connects to the distance. The living room, a little below the dining room, faces a small south garden protected from the road by wall and lattice. You have different views in a small single house.
