In recent years, the lifestyle of working at home has increased, eliminating commuting time and improving efficiency, but at the same time, the gap time due to commuting and moving from place to place and the time to switch between work and life have been lost.
Then, by creating a place for each activity, such as sleeping, dressing, and working, and separating them as rooms, we are creating a transition between work and life, and between action and action. The corridor section also has ups and downs to make the movement between rooms and the change of actions more physicalized.
By being aware of others and the outside when moving between rooms, and by discovering aimless places, one can be stimulated by coincidences that do not occur when one is confined to one's own room, thereby enriching one's work and life.
Lost Gap Time
While the integrated work/residential housing makes people more efficient by eliminating commuting time, it also loses the boundary between life and work. While enjoying the various benefits of integrated work-home housing, time for switching between work and life is regained by moving from room to room.
Be aware of your own actions
One room for one action
By daring to reduce the size of rooms where various activities are possible, a space is created where one can concentrate on only one activity. Conversely, by enlarging a space that is essentially space-saving, one feels the luxury and clarity of trivial daily activities.

Free Floor Plan Selection
Each resident has a set of water facilities necessary for daily life, plus a choice of several private rooms to rent. They can rent a room considering the space they need for their daily life, and can change the space they own frequently according to their daily life.

Embodiment of change in action
Undulating corridors
Undulating the corridor adds three-dimensional movement when moving from one room to another, allowing visitors to experience where they are going up and down hills, where they are high and where they are low, and to immerse their bodies in the arrangement and relationships of the different rooms.

Curved corridor space
By making the walls curved, the flow line is varied. The depth of the space changes in a non-linear manner, and visitors discover their own places in the bulges and hollows, making the passageway a physical space.

Narrowing walls
By arranging the volumes at different angles, the perspective and the view of the other side are manipulated, and individuality is found in the spaces between the gaps, such as spaces that are easy to see and expansive, spaces that are a little difficult to see, and places where the walls appear wide.

Boundaries that create relationships with others
Rooms that create ambiguous boundaries
In order for the residents to feel each other's presence, the units were not completely closed off, but rather the rooms were arranged with gaps between them. The rooms are angled so that residents can see each other's living space while maintaining privacy. Each room on the boundary has two doors, and the owner changes depending on how the room is rented. The rooms that cannot be rented by anyone and the large room near the elevator hall are rented by the hour to local residents, thus shaking the boundary between the community and the residents.

Gradient secures private space.
As one moves outward from the center, the height increases, creating a private space that is less visible and more secluded. The common space in the center and the dining room are slightly lowered, and people gather there guided by the slope.

Control the line of sight with windows, doors, and plantings.
The doors of the rooms are designed to open in a direction that hides the interior when the doors are opened. In addition, several windows were opened in the small, closed interior rooms to allow a moderate amount of the outside environment to enter. In addition, by placing plants and small furniture in the small spaces between the gaps, the exchange of line of sight with neighbors is finely regulated.
