We wanted to create a "satoyama"-like subdivision on this lush green land where blueberry fields used to spread.Taking advantage of the elevation difference that drops to the south, we designed the boundary to be seamless with a slope that blends into the nature, and the street to be a gentle slope. Next, the residential zone (for walking) and the parking zone (for cars) were separated, with the parking spaces grouped together on the street side. Next, the buildings were placed at a certain distance from the site boundary, creating a blank space throughout the subdivision. The land was then used to plant more than 200 trees to create a sense of the wilds and mountains, and easements were created and shared for a walking path with blueberry trees, a shaded porch with tile flooring, and a relaxing porch where people could gather and talk. In order to connect the garden path and the relaxing edge, the house between the garden path and the relaxing edge is partially kept at the height of one story so that the trees in the back of the house can also be seen.We created a space where people can feel the greenery inside and outside of the house and heal their hearts.
