A.HOUSE

This is a renovation project for the first floor of a two-story residence that is 20 years old.
We started to plan a bigger living space by joining the Japanese-style room and the old living room, and we reduced the entrance because it was too big for this house.Since the space between the old living room and Japanese-style room was too narrow, we thought it would be difficult to combine the living room and the dining room into one room.

So, we decided to leave the space as it was, and instead designed a guest room there. However, because the family uses that space most of the time, we still considered that a connection between the living room and the guest room was needed so that the family would be able to communicate from each space. In order to connect the living room and the guest room, we also considered the following concepts.
