The particularity of this Keyhole House is its triangular roof certainly in response to site conditions — the house is implanted along a narrow street in a crowded town —, or urban laws. Or might it be influenced by the Keyhole on the front facade.

Then the name of the project itself can be explained by this keyhole shape, mentioned above, on the front facade.

Implanted on a 103.47-square-meter plot, this simple yet very functional house has two storeys linked by stairs. It is also equipped with a terrace located in the second story.

The door is colored in a mix of red and purple as a color coding. Mortar and sumi ink are applied to the exterior walls.

The arrangement of windows provides maximum of natural light inside the house.
