Request of renovation design of old houses came to us from a woman who lived in London for 30 years in order to build a place to live after returning to Japan.
Our mission is to repair as habitable well the house of 136-year-old.
That is to say,
Matching overseas life of 30 years and old houses of 136-year-old.
Taking advantage of the charm of this old house, in low cost.
