Title
reform 35.7（ Izumo）
2023
Comment
The existing building has a standard Izumo region layout with two adjoining Japanese-style rooms and a veranda. The renovation included the remodeling of the bathroom, dining room, and bedroom, as well as structural reinforcement and insulation improvements.
One of the Japanese-style rooms was converted into a one-room dining room, but an entrance hall and hallway were added to the 11.7m2 six-tatami room, making the dining room 35.7m2 (approximately 20 tatami mats). The dining room is connected to the private rooms on the second floor by an open ceiling, allowing air and light to flow through. A wood stove was also added, making it a place to enjoy daily life.
The tokonoma alcove, made of black pine, conveys the taste of the owner at the time and is now a valuable fixture. The unfinished walls were left intact in imitation of the existing building, creating a tasteful home where old and new overlap.
