小さな町家の改修工事。町家という決められた骨格の中で、モノの多い現代のライフスタイルにどう合わせていくのか試行錯誤した住宅。各コーナーごとに最低限必要な収納を計画し、壁の厚さも収納に利用している。２Fリビングからは借景となるお寺の植栽が眺められ、窓は改修前と変わらない位置に落ち着いている。

Renovation work on small japanese townhouse (machiya).

Through a thorough process of trial and error, it was investigated how to adapt the contemporary lifestyle, -used to having a large amount of objects-, into a traditional machiya structure. Every corner was planned to hold a minimum storage space; the wall thickness was also designed to serve as storage.

In order to keep enjoying the greenery of a next door temple, which can be viewed from the living room (2F), the original position of the window was respected.
