Toward the east is another room of about 1 space. In front of it, a higher porch was set and a space was made in the back to construct a closet.
In front of the main room, a spacious kitchen whose sides run for 2 spaces was created, and the ceiling on the side of the kitchen toward the main room was lowered to create an attic space to be accessed from the main room.
