This study targeted houses with semi-public spaces described in Shinkenchiku Jutakutokushu (2006 to 2023). Those houses have connecting spaces, and the spatial configuration technique of those connecting spaces was analyzed and studied from three viewpoints: access route from the road, the layout relationship between the main room in the semi-public spaces and the private spaces, and visual transparency. The results revealed that many such connecting spaces play an important role of coordinating the relationship between the main room in the semi-public spaces and the private spaces while leading visitors to the house as an access route from the road.
