This is a renovation of a three-story steel-framed house. At the time of our first visit to the property, the interior had already been dismantled, revealing Etruscan reddish columns, beams, and deck plates. The building consisted of an open plan with a balcony on every floor. Each floor had windows in different positions and sizes; making it possible to imagine the small rooms each floor was once separated into. The light coming in from the various openings made the space very attractive in its unintentional style.

In the neighborhood of Nakazaki the remaining old homes and Nagaya (terraced houses) creates a nostalgic atmosphere. When you look down the narrow roads seeing the buildings, clothes drying and potted plants it makes you feel as if you have time slipped a few generations back.

House in Shichiku / Shimpei Oda Architect's Office

This was the renovation of a house which was built in the 1920’s and the hose was surrounded by old rows of houses. The house with a frontage of 4.1meters and depth of 12.8 meters was like so-called ‘sleeping places of an eel’. Because next building was way too close, inside of the house was so dark even though in the daytime. The house had been illogically renovated at several times before so that important pillars and walls were missed.
