This is a relocation project in which two warehouses from Shimane Prefecture, both over 100 years old, were relocated and reconstructed. They are used as residences and galleries. The structure is composed of panels wrapped around the framework of the storehouses, and lighting is obtained through openings in the partially bulging panels. Old materials such as bricks and fittings are actively reused.
