"coniwa" is a cooperative house, located in the suburb of western Tokyo. It is consist of eleven dwellings arranged around a lush courtyard covered by a wooden boardwalk. In this project, at first a skeleton frame in plan was provided to the potential residents. Afterwards an infill design was developed based on this skeleton frame. In the first phase of designing; the skeleton plan, we set a high value on the south direction, because in Japanese residence, a south window is popular in most cases. Through programming of the volume, the suitable frame spans for every floor became unique for each residence.
