I have completed the interior and built a version to show it! This time I cut out some shoji doors open so you can see inside even with the roof on but for the pictures it was easier this way
Now you can see the step from the dirt ground to the raised tatami area.
Here is another view from ground PoV where I have taken the building sections apart.
This is the outside view from the street side (with one variation of the engawa versions)
And the garden side view
This is just one setup. You can just build the raised house with 1 or 2 engawas on the long side. You could have the ground level building on both sides. Lot's of options possible!
Of course you can build it "fold-flat" style so you can disassemble and store safely.
I will release this on my Patreon this month and then one month later to public in case you are interested!
Happy building,
Chris
