Text description provided by the architects. The site lies a few minutes away from a traditional shopping street and is a short distance from where two main roads in Tokyo intersect. The owner requested a new multi-family dwelling building that could be uniquely adapted to the dense urban area while at the same time would be bright and open to natural daylight. On the south side of the lot is a road with a width of 8 meters and an unpaved parking lot. The original parking lot function of the site is to be continued underneath the new building and maintains a height capable of accommodating the stopping the microbus. Located halfway between residential and shopping areas the site vicinity has good access to the city center of Tokyo and is a vibrant and diverse neighborhood with people of different age groups occupations and positions.
