The site is at the top of a slight hill, on the corner of an L-shaped street. Looking back down at the hill from the site, an uncommonly long and linear passage seemed to characterize this place most. If the view of the forest of Hanegi Park could be an integral part of the home, it could evoke the feeling of living in the forest itself. The opposite view of the residential street, however, seemed to be at odds with the natural greenery of the forest. In order to distinguish the two picture windows, two completely different were needed for the opposite views. A curved frame was installed for the window to the east, facing the long and linear street, softening its stark contrast to the forest. By installing a long, horizontal window, the views framed on the eastern side were separated into the sky and the street. A sharper frame for the window facing west was intended to act as an abstract aperture, so that the forest would appear as if it had been collaged onto a wall of the house.

緩やかな坂道を上がると、L字に道が左折する正面の角に空き地になった敷地はあった。敷地に立って今来た坂道を見ると、普段見慣れない直線状のとても長い街並みがとても印象的に見える。また逆側、羽根木公園の森を見ても、この景色を家の中にうまく取り込めば、あたかも森の中に住んでいるような気持ちになれるのではないかと考えた。しかし、この2つの対極的な景色をピクチャーウィンドウにするにはまったく違う形のフレームを用意する必要があった。厳しい北側斜線によって切り取られるマキシマムに近いボリュームの東と西に建築の輪郭でピクチャーウィンドウを作る。東側の直線的な街並みはあえて曲線のフレームで柔らかく切り取り、さらに水平に完全にガラスがなくなる窓で、その上の空を切り取る窓と街を切り取る窓に分けた。西側の公園の森は窓を全開にできるようにすることにより、あえて抽象的な白いシャープな開口にし、森の写真を恰もコラージュしたような背景を作った。
