This is a renovation of house built in about 40 years ago in the

northern part of Nara city in Japan. The clients are couple in their 60s
and their son. They liked this house very much and lived for many
years, but the interior was dark even in the day, and the things were
overflowing because there were few storage rooms. We opened the attic,
changed to a bright kitchen and living room, changed the Japanese room
according to the rules of the tea ceremony, and made a large storage
such as closet, pantry, bookshelf etc. We also improved seismic
performance and thermal insulation performance. This house has been
changed to a place where the clients can live comfortably over the
future and they can love art , antiques, garden, and the house to their
heart's content.
