In many cases, as the appearance is coordinated at the designation of the owner, rows of houses that do not necessity match esthetically are created. In order to overcome this 4 units are created together at Hozumidai to appear as one building by design, carrying out a strong message to the town.

Price competitiveness was maintained by cost effective production of the facade design.
