Manabu Okochi, Momoyo Gota (Interspace Architects)

This is a plan for a semi-fireproof building (ロ-1). The two rental units are maisonettes, and the owner’s unit is a triplet. The units are alternately staggered in plan and arranged in a staircase-like configuration along the topography, resulting in a multi-story terrace house with three volumes penetrating each other in plan and in section. The approaches to each dwelling unit are planned from different levels and from different access roads, creating a distinctive daily experience that makes the most of the unique location.
