A renovation project was conducted on a 40-year-old house in a regional Japanese city, originally designed as a three-story reinforced concrete structure. The residence suffered from excessive size, many unused rooms, poor insulation, and inadequate lighting due to nearby medical facilities. The renovation aimed to adapt the building for contemporary living through the introduction of vertical voids and skylights for improved natural light, enhanced insulation to decrease thermal loads, and the consolidation of essential rooms onto the first and second floors, thereby converting it into a more functional two-story residence.
The renovation project transforms a 40-year-old house, originally built as a three-story structure, into a modern two-story home suitable for contemporary living.
Key improvements include introducing vertical voids and skylights that enhance natural lighting in the ground floor, addressing issues of insufficient illumination.
The project focused on better insulation of the building envelope to reduce thermal loads, optimizing energy efficiency for the residents.
By consolidating essential rooms onto the first and second floors, the renovation redefined the space, ensuring it was functional for a single-family household.
