这个项目是对日本传统木屋的整修,房屋被剥去了不必要的部分,木框架被暴露出来,新建的弧形墙放入开放空间,该墙壁是在木屋顶结构下建造的,参考了该地区的传统元素。该项目唯一令人遗憾的事情是木制框架新建的。理想的,应该是一个原有的房屋框架被重建并重新使用。从那时起,我们就已经考虑过自支撑弧形墙在装修工程中划分空间的独特潜力。但是,时间紧迫不允许我们花时间寻找合适的现有建筑材料。

This project is a refurbishment of a traditional Japanese wooden house. The house was stripped of unnecessary parts and the wooden frames were exposed. By inserting curved walls into the open space, spatial functions were created. An approach similar to the process of designing “Hut with the Arc Wall”, a public toilet in Shodoshima. With the project in Shodoshima the space was defined by a 9mm steel curved wall, which was built under a wooden roof structure, with references to traditional soy sauce factories in the area. The inspiration from cedar barrels of soy sauce was formalized in the curved wall, which showed an aesthetic in its self- supporting structure. The only regrettable thing in the project was the newly built wooden frame. Ideally, it should have been an old house frame from around the area rebuild and reused at the new site. However, a tight schedule did not allow us to spend time to look for a suitable existing building. Since then, we have thought about the distinctive potential of the self-supporting curved wall for dividing spaces in renovation projects.
