From the client is an artist, a comfortable living space, the space for creation, and exhibition space of her works are required.

Firstly, after unnecessarywalls are removed, I confirmed to know the direction of natural light.Old structure isdismantled, new equipment layout and enough storage replaced functionally, and flexible circulation is linked simply, and designed lighting plan rationally.

The wallgivesa deep impression of depth than the actual space. In addition, it narrows the soft natural light from the south side, amplified the intensity of it with proceeding inside space.

The south face part – previously, there was Japanese-style rooms – is converted to one large room which faces a minimum space as white blank. It is used as living, dining and Japanese-style room, prepared various lighting patterns.  Image Courtesy © Jun Murata / JAM This space related with Japanese-style room with a rectangular opening, is used as the exhibition, storage and etc..Here, it was a space that had been used as a traditional alcove and Buddhist altar. This new alcove space and Japanese-style room are separated with the altar and small walls which are cut off at the acute angle edge. A white rectanglebythe indirect lightspreadbehind ithas led to theblankof emptyinthe space.

Additionally, in the linen room has no window, to lead the natural light from the south, a vertical slit is bored on the wall of the boundary with Japanese room.

To eliminate the excessive noise insulation and airtightness, its detail designed to have moderate flow property. Through the day and night, from the perimeter of it, the light and the air arepassed through, and wind and various sounds flows in the daily life.

Modest space with the blank space- Iwanted to give the variability and to lerance in space. I think, by providing a primitive space of living, residents are able to have diverse selectivity.
