This project is an interior renovation of a 164sqm house in a suburb of Sendai, Japan. It is a two–story wood structure built in 1983. The house is located in a bedroom community developed by a company who mass–produced most of the homes; recently this area has begun to depopulate. The house, which belongs to the elderly parents of a ceramic artist, used to be occupied by six family members; the couple is the only ones living there now.

The ground floor renovation centers on both creating a communal space for gathering around the family’s Buddhist alter and providing a living space for the couple. Walls have been removed leaving only the wood structural members in place. This has opened up the space to allow for easy family gatherings, and to enjoy the juxtaposition between the alter and its direct line of sight to a south facing window that looks onto the man’s much loved vegetable garden. The exposed wood structure fills the room with a beautiful color and texture, which provides a sense of the house’s history. 55 sqm has been set aside for the couple’s private area.

Display shelves have been designed for inside the existing oriel windows to display the ceramic artist’s pottery. Constructed from larch plywood, these shelves are suspended by 6mm thin metal cable providing support and minimal visual disruption to the views outside.

The overall spatial effect of the ground floor interior space is an envelope filled with warm light filtered through the figure–ground organization of the family member’s life passions, the man’s garden and the son’s pottery.
