House by Subtraction | A Condominium Renovation That Removes the Superfluous|Yoshihiro Yamamoto Architects Associates
A simple condominium renovation for a young family. Secondhand condominiums commonly tend to be subdivided more than necessary to inflate the number of rooms for marketability. Although this unit was formally a 3LDK, the LDK was only just large enough to accommodate a dining table and lacked a central living space. To secure sufficient living area within a limited budget and footprint, we removed the ceiling and unnecessary partitions to create a generous LDK, and fabricated only the minimally required kitchen and a multipurpose system of movable shelving in plywood. The tactile solid-wood flooring supports an unpretentious lifestyle of semi-chair / semi-floor seating.
