This building is atelier and multipurpose salon which has “productiveness” such as coexistence of life with work, creating relationship. On the second floor, it can not have bearing walls inside, so to use 135×135mm through-columns it can have a cantilevered bearing element. On the first floor, connecting a part of the through-column with round steel braces makes it the foundation of cantilever effect on the second floor. Being size larger than the ready-made connectors which are column-to-beam joint connectors Node.Fastener, they can connect round steel braces. On the first floor, which is fully open, the outer circumference of the lean to roofs are composed of 90×90mm columns, making it bright and transparent.
