Architecture

House in Sinjyo is a single-story residential building in Tanabe, Wakayama, Japan. The site sits below a busy national highway bypass, so the house has no openings on the outer walls, which protects the privacy of the couple who live there. A square plan fills the small flat area of the sloping site. A light court on the south side brings in light and air, and is shared by the living room and the bathroom. The court is set two steps above the living room. A wall that stops below the ceiling divides the living area from the water area. The structure is wooden.
