The residence named House with Windows to the Forest, designed by Yosuke Tomiya, is a compact wooden construction located in Sapporo, Hokkaido. This property is situated in the transition area between a standard suburban neighborhood and a dense forest.
The lot had a unique feature: while neighboring houses were close on the street-facing facade, the back of the property offered a direct view of the closed woods. The project concept was developed from the question of how family routine could interact with this natural landscape while preserving privacy relative to the surrounding residential environment.
