築１８年の集合住宅の一住戸内のLDK並びに廊下廻りのみの小規模なリノベーションである。この物件を譲り受けたオーナーは、キッチンが狭い事や床材のイメージが古いこと等が気になり、自身が住むにあたり、それらを刷新したいということで、元々小さな空間に納まっていたL型のキッチンをLD空間にまたがる長いI型キッチンに変え、床全体は、淡い色のコルクフローリングに貼りかえた。当然それら仕上げの変更に合わせて壁や天井の仕上げや、それらに伴った細かなディティールも変えることで、全く違う空間に仕上げている。リビングに併設されていた和室はリビング空間の一部に代わり、それに伴って、押入だった場所は、家族の誰もが籠れる読書空間へと生まれ変わった。内部空間の一部という小規模なリノベーションでも、そのイメージをガラッと変えることで心地いい空間に変わる好例ではないでしょうか。

It is a small-scale renovation project of only living, dining and kitchen along with corridor area in one dwelling unit of an 18-year-old apartment. The owner who inherited this property was concerned about the small kitchen and the old image of the interior and wanted to renovate them before they moved in. So the L-shaped kitchen, which was originally housed in a small space was changed to a long I-shaped kitchen that spanned to the dining space, and replaced the entire floor with light-colored cork flooring. Naturally, the finish of the walls and ceiling and the small details that accompany them were also changed according to the changes mentioned above in finishing, creating a completely different space. The Japanese-style room attached to the living room was replaced by a part of the living room, and along with that, the closet was reborn as a reading space where everyone in the family can use. This is a good example of a small renovation that is part of an interior space that can be transformed into a comfortable space by completely changing the image.
