Introducing Share House and Guesthouse — Adaptive Reuse of a Derelict Building | Kyobate Kururi, an example of Architect / Design office facility architecture in 302, Zeniya Honpo Main Building, 14-6 Ishigatsujichō, Tennōji-ku, Osaka by Yoshihiro Yamamoto Architects Associates.
Share house + guest house rehabilitated from a derelict building
Guest-house corridor. The first-floor slab is finished in mortar for both the corridor and the guestrooms.
First-floor stair. The share-house entrance is on the left.
Guest room accent colour is purple.
Second-floor internal corridor. Combination of orange walls and blue flooring.
Third-floor internal corridor. Green walls and brown flooring.
Third-floor share-house room. A south-facing unit.
New insulation added to floors, walls and ceilings; openings upgraded to high-performance resin frames.
Originally there were terraces to the north and south; the top-floor (4F), with views toward Wakakusa-yama, was converted into the communal living room.
The top floor serves as the share-house communal living room — a high-ceilinged space that takes advantage of the gabled roof.
The cooking and dining areas were designed to accommodate simultaneous use by multiple occupants, ensuring ample space.
