description Abstract This study examines the design process of Tange residence based on sketches and photographs kept by Akira Tarashima, who was in charge of designing the residence. The study classifies them according to area size from Type A to Type F. Observing the front of the longer direction, it is observed that 32 shaku, 40 shaku, 50 shaku, and 60 shaku were under consideration, after which Type F became 54 shaku. This study confirms that the various study sketches considered room allocation based on the basic modules of 4 shaku, 5 shaku, and 6 shaku. It is also confirmed that the plans and elevation were drawn simultaneously and clarified the process from a modest‐size one‐story house (Type A) to the two‐story completion draft with an exterior worthy of the residence of a master architect (Type F).
