築90年に近い木造住宅の一部改修工事。昔ながらの暗い北側キッチン等の改修と室内のバリアフリー化がテーマ。北側にあるダイニングでは光の反射を利用し、塀との隙間から間接的に光を取り込んでいる。また、偶然にも取り壊し前に立ち会った蔵から古椅子、夏障子、ガラスの照明等と出会う事ができ、かつて使われていたモノたちも一緒に改修した。

Nearly 90-year old wooden house renovation.The aim was to improve the original north-facing kitchen’s luminosity, and to transform the interior into a “barrier free” space.The reflection of the sunlight coming from the dining room located in the north side, was made to be captured through wall openings and used as an indirect light source.Also, antique furnishings found in a warehouse prior to the demolition, -such as a traditional chair, a summer shoji (japanese sliding door) and glass lighting-, were also fully restored to be used as in the old days.
