The two houses shared the asymmetrically curved roof, clad in strong galvalume steel sheets to support the weight of the snow during the winter season.
Although this is an independent type two-family residence, the tatami room is placed in between; while it is separated in two for each of the families by default, it can also be connected for annual ceremonies.
