    This development, known as” House Before House “, is located in a residential area of Utsunomiya, Japan. The design is based on the concept that people live not only indoors but in the outer realm In this experimental scheme, therefore, the architects did not understand the house as a limited space, they developed their idea along the lines of a village structure, with individual “buildings”, open spaces Inside and out, the house and garden form a spatial continuum, which is both timeless and futuristic, and reflects the Japanese tradition of housing, which seeks to achieve harmony between natural things and man-made.
