Located on the outskirts of Tokyo, Motorhead House is a mid-sized garage house designed for a self-established petrolhead (car-loving) man and his family.

The site for this urban apartment project was located about several minutes on foot from the nearest station. It was surrounded by houses and residential complexes except to the north, which borders a street.

KNIT house is built on a slope stretching from the mountainside to the base of the mountain, where there has been residential development since the 1970s. While the site is located near the city center, the area is abundant with greenery and nature.
The site is long and narrow from north to south, with a difference in elevation from the road. We can use it openly and spaciously because the line of sight from people and cars coming and going along the road is offset.
