Comment
We confirmed with the client that it was necessary to improve the aging main house into a comfortable living space, restore the ventilation and lighting lost during the extension and renovation, restore the earthen floor, and strip out new building materials to bring back the original space. We decided to renovate the house not as a nostalgic decoration, but as a place where people can practice the primordial lifestyle inherent in traditional architecture. The wide earthen floor, which leads from the front yard to the back yard and fields, is a place for gathering with close friends. A hearth and cooking stove were installed here to make it a place where people can enjoy cooking over an open fire, and a new hearth was also built.
The new parlor and storehouse were demolished, and the fully renovated DK had large windows with views of the landscape, ensuring passage of ventilation and lighting from north to south.
