skylight machiya（ Matsue）

Comment
Reconstruction of a machiya house on a 90.2 m2 lot where the boundary line is with the neighboring house.
The first floor inherits the layout familiar to the parents, while the second floor is a one-room apartment with a bright and spacious space thanks to the skylight and high sidelight, allowing for ventilation and lighting without worrying about the neighbors’ gaze.
We hope that the blue sky, clouds, and moonlight captured by the skylight will be incorporated into the machiya house, adding color to the house’s life.
In order to build the exterior walls along the boundary line with the neighboring property, the exterior walls were built on-site in advance and then raised using a tow truck to raise the ridge.
