- Ogimachi, Kanazawa
- This private house has been built and renovated according to the machiya typology.
- The threshold can be passed by glass window elements, which can be opened like sliding doors leading to the garden in the back of the house.
- The backyard becomes an integral part of the room, because the ‚wall‘ facing it is defined by glass elements.
