Town House in Sawaragicho

Outline
Renovation of an 80-year-old machiya. A box made of 28mm structural plywood is inscribed in the existing framework to reinforce the structure. It was intended that the contrast between the newly inserted box and the existing part would create a "figure-ground" relationship.
