The unified floor plan, with no interior division except for service spaces, is one of the most characteristic modernist spatial types for residences, as exemplified by the Farnsworth House (Mies van der Rohe, 1945-51). After World War II a number of such houses, referred to in Japan as “one-room house”, made their appearance. Here we aim to illustrate and examine how Japanese architects of the time extrapolated a design theme from this model, based on a study of such work as it appeared in architectural publications. Initially, two aspects of the unified floor plan concept were selected, and each scheme was then subjected to a “KJ-method” analysis (originated by KAWAKITA Jiro). First, we scrutinized the architect's intention in adopting a unified floor plan. Secondly, we attempted to assess each architect's distinct view of the spatial character of the prototype, as exemplified in his deployment of this model. At this point, the composition of each house was correlated with regard to two aspects involving relationship between inside and outside. Namely, positioning of apertures and the interrelation of building to site. Finally, the mediation between each architect's thinking and the final composition has been plotted in terms of this dual classification.
