The Stable and the Orange Barn occupies a narrow flag-shaped plot in Toyohashi, Japan, adjacent to factories, nursing facilities, and suburban houses. The project responds to a mixed industrial and residential setting and constrained site geometry. Design decisions prioritize the everyday rhythms and needs of a young family rather than a bold formal statement. The approach began with close observation of daily movement, activities, and household patterns to inform spatial organization. The resulting strategy mediates between family life and the external context, integrating considerations of privacy, light, access, and relationships to neighboring uses and urban fabric.
