Upstairs, Hojo is like a retreat rather than a house. Yoneda describes the project as a descendent of the sichu no sankyo tradition, which is "a cottage with a small garden in the midst of an urban context." The architect also refers to shakkei, or borrowed scenery as an influence. From inside we can see how the views of the surrounding buildings become this scenery, enabled by floating the structure in the urban void.
