House in MITATE / Lenz Architects

A loose relationship created by “MITATE”. This is a renovation of a 50-year-old two-story wooden house. When seeing its original state, the parts such as the walls with exposed pillars, tatami, and paper sliding doors gave us the impression of an inflexible and stubborn state. At the same time, we felt as though these parts were intensionally used to make this “stubborn Japanese style space”.
