renovation plan

A multigenerational house: A family relocating to Kyoto (a couple in their 40s, one elementary school-aged child, and a dog) + one elderly family member

A spacious plan designed for comfortable family living. The dining area on the often darkest 1st floor is transformed into a double-height space, creating a bright and vertically expansive environment. In contrast, the living room expands horizontally towards the extensive garden on the southern side of the property, providing a sense of spaciousness beyond its actual size. On the 2nd floor, 2 private rooms are set up. There is also a workspace with desks which accommodate remote work from home. The inclusion of a double-height space ensures a gentle connection between the rooms while maintaining the privacy of each space.
