位于京都的五条Krasuma，原来的房子有超过100年的历史。它是一座传统的木结构房屋，是典型的京都房屋形式，除了后来的一些随机重建，主要的骨架仍然保持良好的状态。业主打算把它改造成一个独特的精品民宿。
Located at Gojo Krasuma, Kyoto, the original house has more than 100 years history. It is a traditional timber-structure house in typical form of Kyoto house, and the main skeleton remains in good condition except for some random later rebuilt. The owner intended to transform it into a unique boutique homestay.
方案的原则是尽量保留原有的建筑，同时，我们需要更新房子以满足现代生活的需求，这导致了新旧建筑风格的自发混合，就像一个混合体。与普通民宿不同的是，我们在房子里提供了一个小型的文化展览馆空间，这就是为什么这个项目被称为 “合庭”。
The program’s principle is to try our best to preserve as much original building as we could, and at the same time, we need to update the house to meet the demand of modern life ,which leads to a mix of old and new building style spontaneously, like a hybridism. Different from the normal homestay, we provide a small cultural exhibition museum space in the house, that is why the program is called as “He-courtyard”(合庭).
设计中插入了一个纯现代风格的隧道作为主入口，隧道从外面延伸到街道，里面穿过主屋，最后到达后面的院子。这样一来，游客在经过街道时就可以看到庭院深处的景色。这是一个新的互动的对话场景，旨在表达传统京都文化的精髓–院子。除了连接不同空间的功能外，隧道还作为展览厅，为展示不同种类的旧日本收藏品提供一个清晰的平台。
Design inserts a purely modern style tunnel as the main entrance, the tunnel extends outside to the street, inside through the main house and finally reach the courtyard at the back. Thus allows visitors can look deep inside to the view of the courtyard when they pass by the street. It is the new interacting dialogue scenes which aims to express the essence of traditional Kyoto cultural – the courtyard. Except for the function of connecting different spaces, the tunnel is also served as exhibiting hall, providing a clear platform to display different kinds of old Japan collection.
为了满足现代生活的新需求，我们在不破坏原有结构的前提下，对主屋的内部空间进行了重组，我们重新规划了楼梯，并改变了楼梯的方向，因为旧的楼梯是陡峭而狭窄的。此外，我们为一楼和二楼增加了现代化的浴室，这增加了游客住宿的舒适性。加强原始结构也是非常必要的。我们重新利用老房子的木板来做楼梯下面的商店抽屉，体现了房子的历史情感。
To meet the new demands of modern life, we reorganised the interior space of the main house without destroying the original structure, we reframed the staircase and changed its direction since the old staircase was steep and narrow. In addition, we added modern bathrooms for both first and second floors, which increase the comfortability of visitors’ stay. The strengthening of original structures is also very essential. We reuse the old house’s wood planks to make the store drawers underneath the staircase, reflecting the house’s historical emotion.
在清理后院时，我们挖出了许多历史悠久的石头和石缸，后院的景观设计就是以这些石头为基础，同时保留了原有的枫树。通过现代和传统风格的结合，我们创造了一个混合了日式风格和现代风格的院子，在这么小的面积上创造了无限的花园空间。
When cleaning the back yard, we dug out many historical stone and stone cylinder and the design of backyard’s landscape is based on these stone, meanwhile, the original maple tree was kept. By combining modern and tradition style, we created a mix of Japanese style and modern style courtyard, making an infinite garden space within such a small area.
在材料的选择上，我们优先选择原木和土壤纹理涂层为主体，黄铜和旧金属为把手和其他硬核。以保持材料的原始自然纹理为目标，我们试图延续老建筑的朴素之美。在每个房间里都可以看到旧的木质结构和新的木质家具的结合，这创造了一个有趣的场景。在一个看似矛盾的表达中，我们希望引导人们在这个房子里体验到日本不同时代的痕迹。
As for the selection of materials, we give priority to logs and soil texture coating for the main body, brass and old metal for handles and other hardcore. Aimed at keeping the original natural texture of materials, we try to continue the beauty of plainness of the old building. The combination of old timber structure and the new wooden furniture can be seem in each room, which creates an interesting scene. In a seemingly contradictory expression, we hope to lead people to experience the trace of different era of Japan in this house.
