Hillside Residence is a private house built on a steeply sloping site in Machida city, Tokyo, Japan. The house faces south and opens onto a large garden. An underground parking area in reinforced concrete also works as a retaining structure and absorbs the height difference of the slope. Above the parking area stands a two storey wooden house. The parking entrance and the square in front of it are set 2.5 metres higher than the road. Wood and stucco are applied by traditional craft methods. The garden recalls the original landscape of the site.
