The house is for a young couple and located in the suburban area. There were two main design issues. One was how to connect the interior and the exterior to enjoy the beautiful nature, and the other was how to control the wild nature, like strong sun light, strong wind and heavy rain, since the region is known for the severe weather conditions mainly caused by typhoons. The design issues were rather contradictory. We situated the main living space on the first floor, above which the void is connecting the second floor and the surrounding galleries. Around the central space, we arranged four structural cores with service functions in the fan like layout. The large bridging exterior walls connecting from one core to the other support the whole building. The cores became physically legs for the building. Through the wide openings under the bridge like structure, the living space acquired the continuous feeling to the gardens around. The sloping ground and the flat eaves, work as sun sheds, also enhance the feeling.The legs work as the part of water drainage system. The top square sloping roof is directly connected to the small roofs of four legs, which smoothly reach to the ground. Even the outrageous rainwater can be drained easily through these roofs. In the contrast with the black wooden walls, the silver metal sheets protect the whole building as a sheet of hard shell. Consequently the building looks like a creature with four legs.
