HOUSE IN OKUSAWA
JO NAGASAKA / SCHEMATA ARCHITECTURE OFFICE
- Outline
- Renovation of a private house built in the 1980s (bubble period). In the interior, the existing steel beams and shed roof are exposed, and at night the interior is reflected in mirrored sashes. The exterior walls are painted with a frottage technique that makes use of the texture of the existing brick tiles, and the designer's expression is superimposed on the existing elements in an attempt to create layers of time.
