Research 2
Effects of the work
As classroom monitor is basecally sitting in front of computers whole day, the client may suffer following physical symptoms;

  1. Eye strain (caused by a prolonged computer work)
  2. Stiff shoulders (caused by desk work, and dehydration)
  3. Joint pain
  4. have a lack of exercise...




The client may also have psychological symptoms due to the high responsibility of his job.

Reflections on Designing
  1. Introducing nature to improve eye strain.
  2. Extension of garden to the internal spaces, such as connection between living room and garden
  3. Placing an internal greenary
  4. Enlarging the area of each room (gives a sense of opening)
  5. Using warm colours rather than tint colour
  6. Using natural meterial
  7. Placing a relaxation area (enlarged bathroom)
  8. gives a sense of separation from his work


This bathroom is attempting to extend the bathroom to external view, it gives a sense of opening, and enjoyable view. The bathroom is not only a purpose to clean the body. It is also for relaxing and a placing for relieving tiredness, and relaxing.



This is one of Japanese traditional bathroom. The bath is made by hinoki (Japanese wood). Hikoki has very nice smell especially when it has been wet. It is said that there is an effect of an aroma (aromatherapy).
