An abandoned farmhouse at the entrance to a farming village in Ichihara City, Chiba Prefecture, was renovated into a studio for the client, a music and video creator who took over the property. Farmers in the southern part of Chiba Prefecture have stopped farming year after year; their fields have become abandoned, and their houses have become vacant. People in professions with little connection to the land, such as designers and creators, are moving into a place that has been deeply connected to agriculture, but because the houses and warehouses are arranged and structured around agriculture, they are wasteful and uncomfortable for outsiders. We deeply considered the way that makes it possible for the new generation, the new occupation, and the population to be natural in the area.

Housing developments and family member
The site of this house was a housing development which had passed around 40 years since the area had started selling. There are over 400 houses but they have no value as a property and people who are living in are not so young anymore. The demands of client are: an over 330 square meter land space and enough distances from neighbors for a better privacy. Then the site was thought as the better conditions because of the low price of land and the density of the development.
