A very small land in a very high-density city, Tokyo.
Discover a new style of usage as a living environment, which compact urban house cannot carry, inside a small outer space the “opening”.
The “opening” is a place to move from one building to another building, it is a bay window to put a flower pot, and space where furniture can crowd out.
The “opening” takes root in daily life, as the people living in this house update how to use and utilize the most of it.
