takuya old house renovation（ Izumo）
2015
Comment
A couple who work in textile and product design moved to Shimane. They bought a rented old house and did a small renovation. In the first phase of construction, they removed the ceiling and installed a wood stove so that light could reach the attic window. The living room, which used to be a lantern room, was completely transformed by improving ventilation and lighting, and for the first time in 150 years, the rafter logs with a rafter finish were revealed in the living space. The attic space above the living room was also renovated, and it seems that it can be used for an exhibition gallery, etc.
This is the residence of the head of the family, who was a successful politician in a wide range of fields from national to prefectural politics, and you can reminisce about the past in the Western-style building attached to the main house. It will be exciting to see how the “history” that is inherited along with the old house will change the creative activities of the couple.
