築80年の日本家屋の改修計画。既存の状態は居住者が移り変わる中で増改築が繰り返され、時代やその時々の居住者の趣向で統一感なく施された内外装やサッシは日本家屋の良さを失っていた。また大きく眺望の良い中庭があるものの中庭と家とが切り分かれた状態となっていた。

そんな状態の中、既存の状況を生かすこと、庭を眺むことができる空間、心地よく人が集まる場が求められた。

庭側の壁面、サッシを解体。元々広縁としてあったスペースを縁側とし、全ての部屋に引き込みサッシを設置。内と外をつなぎ、全ての部屋から中庭との一体感、開放感を感じる空間を目指した。またこの縁側をリビング、和室、寝室とを外からも繋げることで導線を設けあらたに回遊性のあるレイアウトとしている。

リビングにはテラスまで続く簡易的なキッチンカウンター 、ソファベンチを設けることで内と外をつなげ、人の意識を中庭へと広げ心地よい時間の流れを感じる場となった。

増改築で付け足された内外装を解体する中ででてきた柱や梁を生かし、床や壁などの素材には比較的空間に主張の少ないモルタルと漆喰を選び空間を整えた。施されたモルタルと既存の柱と梁の素材感から時間の対比が垣間見え上質で心地よい空間となった。

A plan to renovate an 80-year-old Japanese house.
The existing condition was repeatedly expanded and renovated as the residents changed, and the interior and exterior and sashes that were given without a sense of unity according to the times and the tastes of the residents at that time lost the goodness of Japanese houses.

Under such circumstances, there was a need for a space where people could gather comfortably, taking advantage of the existing situation, and having a view of the garden.

The outer wall on the garden side and the sash were dismantled. The space that was originally a broad veranda lines was changed to the veranda, and open lead-in windows were installed in all rooms.
We aimed to create a space where you can feel a sense of unity and openness with the courtyard from all the rooms.In addition, the veranda is connected to the living room, Japanese-style room, and bedroom from the outside to create a flow line, creating a new layout with ease of migration.

In the living room, a simple kitchen counter leading to the terrace and a sofa bench were installed to connect the inside and the outside, spreading people's consciousness to the courtyard and feeling a comfortable flow of time.

Taking advantage of the pillars and beams that came out during the dismantling of the interior and exterior that were added in the extension and renovation, we chose mortar and plaster for the materials such as floors and walls, which have relatively few claims in space.The texture of the mortar and the existing pillars and beams gives a glimpse of the contrast of time, creating a high-quality and comfortable space.
