The Ichibancho House<\/h1>\n
\n \n\n

A full renovation of a 40-year-old apartment with light on three sides, from single-person spec to a home for a family of four. Meeting requests such as children\u2019s rooms and a laundry-drying room, an L-shaped peninsula kitchen was realized affordably by joining custom cabinetry to the existing kitchen.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

A Renovation That Revives a Family Home with Light and Air<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A renovation of a 40-year-old apartment. With windows on three sides, the unit had ample daylight and ventilation. It was spacious enough when the previous resident used it alone, but as it became a home for four and more rooms were needed, we carried out a full renovation. The main requests were an LD, two children\u2019s rooms, a WIC, a main bedroom, a laundry-drying room, and a peninsula kitchen facing the dining area. The laundry-drying room came from the husband\u2019s request, as a drum washer and a bathroom with heating-and-drying were not enough capacity for a dual-income household. While the increase in rooms required a full renovation, keeping costs down was also called for. So, to realize the peninsula kitchen, we joined custom cabinetry to the existing kitchen, making an L-shaped peninsula.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"works_main_image":894,"works_sub_image":895,"works_location":"Tokyo","works_type":"Renovation","works_completion_year":"2016","ogp_image":892,"ogp_caption":"A full renovation of a 40-year-old apartment with light on three sides, from single-person spec to a home for a family of four.","footnotes":""},"works_category":[3,7],"works_tag":[16,17],"class_list":["post-189","works","type-works","status-publish","hentry","works_category-renovation","works_category-residence","works_tag-originalkitchen","works_tag-thoughtfulstorage"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/s-designfarm.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/works\/189","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/s-designfarm.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/works"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/s-designfarm.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/works"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/s-designfarm.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/works\/189\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1049,"href":"https:\/\/s-designfarm.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/works\/189\/revisions\/1049"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/s-designfarm.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=189"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"works_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/s-designfarm.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/works_category?post=189"},{"taxonomy":"works_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/s-designfarm.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/works_tag?post=189"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
