Posiibility of 45m2 small house with courtyard : #9903

Small house with courtyard / the follow-up of the small space/ living near bamboo thicket where there are fireflies.

The small trapezoid shape land with 45m2/the planning with the courtyard/The rugged hilly area / Firefly inhabitation reserved area.

This house is for an old couple who used to live on this land. They requested the elevator and the earth ground in the ground level. They also requested they do not need to have the steps inside due to lack of space so only outer steps were equipped and located next to the bamboo thicket facing courtyard.

This house with the courtyard becomes a open and comfortable space by using the fantastic view.
