Arai Mise Studio / kurosawa kawara-ten

An abandoned farmhouse at the entrance to a farming village in Ichihara City, Chiba Prefecture, was renovated into a studio for the client, a music and video creator who took over the property. Farmers in the southern part of Chiba Prefecture have stopped farming year after year; their fields have become abandoned, and their houses have become vacant. People in professions with little connection to the land, such as designers and creators, are moving into a place that has been deeply connected to agriculture, but because the houses and warehouses are arranged and structured around agriculture, they are wasteful and uncomfortable for outsiders. We deeply considered the way that makes it possible for the new generation, the new occupation, and the population to be natural in the area.
