The home was designed for a couple and their young daughter. Although it was a novel site with a limited area, with the river facing through a bank and a promenade, various relations to the river were used. The building is the form comes from a cut as an acute angle which is derived from the site. Furthermore, it has the maximum volume of hip roof on three planes.
