The countryside of Sanjo City, Niigata Prefecture, has a scenic landscape. It has a long history as a village and has protected the land for generations. Nowadays, we only make vegetables that we consume on our own with the change of generations, but it exceeds the scale of the vegetable garden. The site is strip-shaped with a frontage of about 10m and a depth of 80m or more, which is a rare shape for a residential land. Due to the convenience of living in an old house when constructing a new building, it will be set back a considerable distance from the living road, and a garden of about 30 m will be created. I proposed a large space for the garden. We set up a drastic opening and raised the ceiling of the LDK by half a floor, while keeping the ceiling height of the other rooms low so that the space would not be larger than necessary.
