大阪市内の下町に建つ築30年程度の木造2階建て住宅の改修である。内外共に全面的 に変えているため、原型は、ほぼ留めていない。クライアントは生活動線等、使い勝手 や快適性を最も重視されたため、その意向に沿う形でのリノベーションとなったが、光 の取り入れ方や、光と仕上げ素材やプランとの関係性等、コントロール出来る部分も多 く、非常に面白いプロジェクトであった。一方で、元の住宅の傷みは激しく、現場では、 かなり苦労もした。構造的な歪みはひどく、基礎の一部は無く、柱や梁の断面欠損は著 しく、今まで倒壊しなかったのが不思議なくらいである。歪みは出来る限り直し、基礎 を作り、断面欠損の構造材は入れ替え、各種補強も入れることで、建物に新たな命を吹 き込めたのではないかと思っている。

This is a renovation of a 2-story wooden house built about 30 years ago in the downtown area of ​​Osaka City. The interior and exterior have been completely changed, so the original form is almost unnoticeable. The client placed the utmost importance on usability and comfort, such as the flow of daily life, so the renovation was done in accordance with their wishes. However, there were many aspects that could be controlled, such as how to bring in light and the relationship between light and the finishing materials and plan. On the other hand, the original house was in a very bad state, and we had a lot of trouble on site. There was a lot of structural distortion, part of the foundation was missing, and the cross-sectional defects of the pillars and beams were significant, so it was a wonder that it had not collapsed until then. We were able to give a new life to the building by correcting the distortion as much as possible, creating a foundation, replacing structural materials with cross-sectional defects, and adding various reinforcements.
