Higashi-Kitazawa, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo
Japanese residential areas in cities are constituted of holes or small gaps between buildings that can be transformed into a narrow road or passage to access another street and blocks of houses. As this context, this passage acts as a unity of network to link two blocks or streets. As the street is too narrow, fences are high enough to protect the houses from neighborghs' houses.
This passage is wide enough to allow for pedestrians and bicycle to access to it. The promiscuity of the vis-a-vis tends to make the street a little bit shadowed by the lack of natural light.
