Unique Properties
The renovation required that the existing kitchen area, consisting of the kitchen, breakfast corner, and food storage, be changed to a space that can be used for various purposes, not just at breakfast. In order to respond to this demand, the food storage and corridors were eliminated, making the entire space one room wide, and the sink was changed from a wall-mounted type to an island type, making it a more space centered on the kitchen unit. It has been reborn as a calm and cozy family room.
Dimensions & Packaging
The size of the Kitchen area is width:3.2m by hight:2.4m by depth:7m.

Design Challenge
How Break a Box-form Architecture: In the original project (Continuous Plate House 1.0), it began to think from a box form at first. Although the effective idea was not able to be found out easily, as a result of repeating whether there is any method of breaking that somehow, and trial and error, composition as if the floor, the wall, and the roof were connected continuously and bent and built one plate was obtained.
Research
Response to a Heavy Snowfall: The principal focus of the original project (Continuous Plate House 1.0) was how we should design in response to a heavy snowfall. Since there are some examples of research that snow cannot lie easily due to the influence of a wind as for a flat roof if there is even no parapet, rather, we designed by adopting such a flat roof since 1999.
Inspiration
This house has been renovated mainly on the first floor because 18 years the completion. It is made by folding a plate, and a rectangular box made of concrete is inserted into it to support the whole. The outer surface of the box is finished with concrete cast in cedar board formwork, leaving the texture of wood even though it is concrete. In order to further strengthen the design concept at the completion, the entire inside of the box, that is, the kitchen area is covered with a wooden finish.
Project Duration
This house was first built in March 2001, and the renovation was completed in August 2019 in Fukui-city, Fukui Pref. in Japan.
