Woman's House in Gifu

This is an implementation of the first prize-winning work of the Women's House, a housing competition organised by Gifu Prefecture for female architects.
As it is located in a new town that will be developed in the future, the building forms a solid framework to withstand changes in the surrounding conditions. The external terrace on the second floor, which characterises the exterior, is a semi-outdoor space that serves as a buffer from the outside and proposes an open, new way of living that cannot be experienced in the interior space.
