In the place called Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture in Japan this house. It is a house that has been made for the young couple. Old wooden house, built in '37 was a tough state to live in aging. To return to the home to live, large repair was required. To break all the walls that are separated finely in a tatami room unique to Japan, it was changed to a floor plan that was in the new residents. Use plywood to finish the room, I have adopted a bare bulb lighting. Use the material common and inexpensive, it is a simple work of the minimum required. There are old and new in this house, The increased presence by the contrast of the old ones with new ones, Designs have new feel the freshness more. To be able to complete this work, I think luck as a designer.
