Research - characteristics of Tezuka houses

Open to the environment but done with care to retain privacy (eg. see 'raised floor house').
Or if not, then views are carefully framed.
Common elements:
  • skylights
  • open courtyards
  • sliding doors/windows which open completely out
  • movable furniture which can also change the room 'size' and characteristics
  • lighting which is only where needed for human occupation/activity
  • ladders
  • decks
  • mostly, though, a connection to 'nature' in some shape or form - often skylight/rooflight
