The site of the house is located on the end of a narrow lane, and
is surrounded by retaining walls of adjacent sites which are raised
on north and east side. Therefore, the house which stands on such
sunken site has many light wells which are randomly planed. The light
wells are same size and same square tube shape, and are also structure

On ground floor, each light well which has different angles frames

light wells penetrate through the space of the floor. It is intended
to make residents think usage of the space and activity.
