The site is located adjacent to a park that used to be a castle site over 200 years ago. With a situation like this, it is quite likely that the plan opens out towards the park (green) with wide openings using ordered steel or wood windows. On the other hand, there is always a mosquito problem. So, after a conversation with a client, the openings were made closed using readymade aluminum windows. So the main task for the architect was to design a house with wide windows (a combination of readymade aluminum windows) that nestles to the park. Considering about the opening was very important when the architect focused on the relationship between the house and the park. This relationship between the house and the surrounding is something the architect thinks most important, when architecture is designed. It is all about closing or opening the architecture to the surroundings. And here, it is whether to coexist or confront with the nature next to the house.
