The Hillside House in Rokko by Tato Architects

Japanese architect studio Tato Architects have designed House in Rokko. Built in site area 295.31 m2 and located in Kobe, Japan.

Description from Tato Architects:

At an end of the residential area developed in the past halfway up Mt. Rokko the site was broad but too steep to bring in heavy machines for driving piles. A plane of 3.5 m by 13.5 m was left when a sufficient distance was secured, for manual digging for foundation, from the old breast wall and heaped soil.
