きたまちの家｜大きな吹き抜けのある古民家の改修

奈良市内にある古い住宅。敷地内には色々な年代の建物が濡れ縁や中庭を介して連なっています。その中で一番古くて大きな納屋を、快適な生活が送れる住まいへ改修する計画です。納屋は元々材木倉庫として建てられたため半分が大きな吹き抜けとなっていて、大部分が吹きさらしの状態でした。劣化して柱梁から剥離した大量の土壁を全て落とし、蟻害・腐朽を受けた柱梁を補強・交換し、断熱補強を行った上で、吹き抜けを大きなLDKに転用、その周りに来客用の和室、寝室、水廻り、収納、猫の部屋を整備しました。

House in Kitamachi

This is a project to renovate an old house in Nara City. Various buildings of different ages stand on the site, sharing a corridor and a courtyard. The oldest and largest of them is a barn with a large atrium, built to store long logs. The barn had been little used for many years and had become weathered. The client wanted to renovate it into a comfortable living space.We removed a large amount of mud walls that had detached from the bamboo framework due to continuous leaks, rebuilt the basement, reinforced columns and beams that had been weakened by termite and decay damage, and filled the roof and walls with insulation.The atrium, converted into a large living room, leads to a Japanese-style room, bedroom, sanitary room, cat room, and closet. A steel stair leads to the bedrooms on the second floor, and the perimeter of the atrium is a corridor with structural reinforcement.
