A rental unit that, despite good sunlight, had long gone untenanted because of noise, exhaust, and sightlines from a main road. Converting the 2LDK into a 1LDK, we set a row of 6cm-diameter wooden columns to create an in-between zone\u2014a buffer that softens gazes, lets light through, and allows laundry to be hung.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

A Renovation That Softens Gazes and Invites Light<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Despite good sunlight\u2014with many large openings on two sides of the unit\u2014this rental had long gone untenanted because it faced a large main road, suffering noise and exhaust from cars waiting at the signal, as well as sightlines from the houses across the road. So we converted the existing 2LDK into a 1LDK and, by loosely arraying wooden columns 6cm in diameter, set an in-between zone with the outside within the interior. While the row of columns softens gazes from outside, light can be drawn in through the gaps. This in-between zone serves as a place for potted plants and for hanging laundry, also making up for the difficulty of drying laundry outdoors because of the exhaust.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"works_main_image":613,"works_sub_image":614,"works_location":"Kanagawa","works_type":"Renovation","works_completion_year":"2007","ogp_image":611,"ogp_caption":"A rental unit that, despite good sunlight, had long gone untenanted because of noise, exhaust, and sightlines from a main road.","footnotes":""},"works_category":[3,7],"works_tag":[8],"class_list":["post-63","works","type-works","status-publish","hentry","works_category-renovation","works_category-residence","works_tag-compacthouse"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/s-designfarm.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/works\/63","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":7,"href":"https:\/\/s-designfarm.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/works\/63\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":980,"href":"https:\/\/s-designfarm.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/works\/63\/revisions\/980"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/s-designfarm.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=63"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"works_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/s-designfarm.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/works_category?post=63"},{"taxonomy":"works_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/s-designfarm.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/works_tag?post=63"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
