the hall house was designed for a young couple with one child in otsu - shiga, japan. the limited budget and
space requirements were tough, but the architects also had to deal with a oddly shaped and tiny site that
was on an incline to boot. inside the architects began with a garage at the lowest point then moved into
a living space with theatre and billiards. from there, the house steps up to the kitchen and dinning area
and then further upwards toward the bedroom and bathroom. a terrace sites a the mid point between
the bedroom and kitchen levels. the architects used a monocoque form made from reinforced concrete
to achieve this compact living quarters.
