FACTORESIDENSE / Keisuke Kawabe Architecture Office

This renovation project of the steel-structured old building is titled “FACTORESIDENSE”. The residence was built 45 years ago and is still located in Minato ward, Nagoya, Aichi prefecture, Japan. Our project name “FACTORESIDENSE” is a coined word that combines FACTORY with RESIDENCE. This is because the programs we made are houses and ateliers of some creative offices. And the site is in a housing and industrial mixed area. We refer to materials and details making this area. So the interior we designed is similar to the environment. It is important for us to connect inside experience with local context and historical background.
