Located at the foot of Mount Ashiya in Japan, this naturalistic house was designed by local Japanese architecture firm Tomohiro Hata Architect. The house is located at the foot of a mountain, up the Rokka Mountain, a misty area rich in pine trees and many other types of vegetation. The architects were thinking about how to blur the boundary between the house and nature without dividing the nature of the mountain through the building. By tearing through the gable roof, which is a rule of the scenic area, to allow nature to permeate, the architects sought to blur the contours of the building and gain a unique connection with nature.

Blurred nature is reflected on the dull silver surface, the boundary of architecture is cultivated. Tomohiro Hata Architect  aimed for a space as if under a soft silver cloud. The roof with crevices that lays low on the ground makes the connection with trees around and garden in the crevices, aiming for such an appearance that the architecture blends into expansive mountain range.
