The very high ceilings of this living room create a focal point as you enter the long foyer. The fabric on the curtains, a semi transparent linen, permits the natural light to seep through the entire space. A Floridian environment was created by using soft aqua blues throughout. The furniture is Christopher Guy modern sofas and the glass tables adding an airy feel. The silver and crystal leaf motif chandeliers finish the composition. Our Aim was to bring the outside landscape of beautiful tropical greens and orchids indoors.

Family of the character of rice field.
In the surrounding is the countryside landscape, in a 53 yr old Japanese house of 80 tsubos,
the young couple and their children purchased it for residence and decided to renovate.
Making the new concept of living a new life in a 53 yr old Japanese house 53 years ago and continuing to the next generation, we can hope to harmonize between the good ancient things with new things and thought of a house that can interconnect the middle area.
First of all, we removed the part which was expanded and renovated in the 53 years of construction, returned to the original ricefield character style, and tried to insert new elements there.
The Original Japanese style room was made into a garden, and the edge side was made to be outside, adding external factors, creating a comfort of the space where various elements interweave.
The rich space was created by externalizing the interior and inserting new things while leaving the old stuff.
田の字の家
周囲には田園風景がひろがる築53年80坪の日本家屋。
若い夫婦と子が住居として日本家屋を購入しリノベーションをすることとなりました。
53年前の日本家屋を新しい生活の場として次の世代へ住み継がれていくことをコンセプトとし、古く良きモノと新しいモノとを調和させ、そこに中間領域を織り交ぜたような住宅はできないかと考えました。
まず築53年の中で増改築された部分を取り除き、本来の日本家屋の様式である田の字の空間に戻します。そこに必要な空間のボリュームを落とし込んでいきます。そうすることで、必要のない空間(余白の空間)が生まれます。そこに私たちは、外的要素を挿入していくことを試みました。
元々和室だったところを坪庭にしたり、縁側を外部に見立てたりすることで様々な要素が織り交ざりあう空間の心地よさを作り出しました。
昔からある素材を残しつつ空間を新しく作りなおし、そこに外部的要素を挿入することで
豊かな暮らしを生みだしています。


The indoor outdoor layout of this tropical retreat creates the perfect ambiance for backyard entertaining. Sliding glass doors pocket into either side of the open living room, master bedroom, and dining so all the spaces become one in this tropical design. The white patio furniture creates comfortable spaces for lounging poolside and the orange lanai cushions give a nod to the ocean with their fun coral print.


The indoor outdoor design of this tropical getaway opens to the lanai sporting stunning ocean views and an elegant infinity edge pool. The sea inspired orange throw pillows are dotted with fish and coral patterns, the lanterns are hammered bronze Monsteria leaves, and a fire bowl frames either side of the aqua lounge.
