In this paper the architectural compositions of Japanese contemporary houses are typologically analyzed in terms of the spatial division in the house with a single volume. Initially, the building-elements defining a single volume are investigated as the overall frame of the house. Next the permutations and hierarchical process of spatial divisions are investigated as characteristics of spatial division: by walls or by slabs, between interior and interior, interior and exterior, etc. Secondly, typological compositions of the houses are defined by combinations of those characteristics and series of rhetorics are found which differentiate them. Finally, the architectural composition of the house is set into the structural relationship between these rhetorics in spatial division.
