The remodelling involved holding up the guesthouse wall to generate a footway, disclosing the initial timber structure. Natural light coming from glass roof ceramic tiles lightens the structure, highlighting aspects that were previously concealed. Situated near Fukuma Beach in Japan, the job site was actually uncovered through a customer who imagined transforming the aged house in to a multifunctional space.

The team replaced the bases of pillars installed in concrete and added building plywood where needed to make sure load-bearing capacity. Parallel rigidness was actually obtained through protecting the braces along with braces. The earthen wall structures delivered sufficient protection, supplemented through glass wool in brand new wall surfaces as well as extruded polystyrene foam underneath the floor covering. The irimoya rooftop construct posed a problem due to its own higher ridge beam. To prevent generating a massive 5.3-meter-high wall structure that would do not have an individual range and also cover the timber frame, the design slowed down the top component of the huge wall structure on the guesthouse side. This generated a 2.1-meter-high bridge, giving a lowered ceiling height of 2.33 meters in the shop. The footway permits organic illumination to boost the presence of the wood framework. This approach reverses the regular architectural emphasis through revealing the wood framework that was once concealed as well as concealing elements that were recently visible.
