The surrounding area is a peaceful rural landscape.
We purchased a rented house occupied by a newlywed couple and renovated it into a place for them to live with their children. They were required to have a work flow connecting the kitchen and bathroom, a family closet, a living/dining/kitchen area connected to a veranda, solid wood, and insulation.
After 15 proposals, we found that the best way to utilize the limited site was to keep the expansion area small and secure a parking lot and garden, and we settled on a simple plan.
The private room and closet were demolished to create a one-room living/dining/kitchen area. A veranda was installed in the living room, and wooden fittings were used to connect the inside and outside, creating a space with mobility.
As the area is cold and snowfall is 1m, the wooden fittings are low-e double-glazed, but the taiko shoji screens are also triple-insulated.
