When both "high earthquake resistance" and "open space" are required

Usually, it makes more sense to have an Main space on the second floor because the amount of walls required structurally is less than the first floor.

Here, we aim to get the maximum spatial volume in the conditions given by taking in the surrounding environment of the "private road" where the front road is an individual property and planning a space in which the inside and outside are seamlessly continuous.
