Converted the previously dim two adjacent tatami rooms into a large cedar‑clad living room, rehabilitating the property as a family‑oriented residence.
The staircase originally located inside a closet was replaced with an open‑riser (strip) stair. A shoin‑style shoji screen functions as the visual terminus.
Light entering from east‑ and west‑facing windows and from above the stair is diffused by the white walls and ceilings, imparting a bright atmosphere to the living room.
