1. The ground floor can be shielded from the views of passers-by with a sliding gate. The interior is then only visible through the timber frame windows, which protrude slightly from the facade. 2. A small roof terrace is accessible from the sleeping gallery on the upper floor. To the right the generous, two-storeyed void above the stair is visible.
3. Above the dining area on the ground floor, the transition from reinforced concrete to timber construction becomes visible. A 77 cm horizontal joint accentuates the change in style. 4. “G” is on the right in a densely developed residential area. Unlike the architects of the neighbouring buildings, Jun Aoki has rejected the regalia of classic single-family houses, such as tiles roofs, oriels and balconies. 4
