古い町屋が立ち並ぶ勝山市の景観形成地区での新築住宅。
比較的間口の小さい敷地の中で、室内が広く明るく感じられるよう窓の高さ、階段の形状などを検討。薪ストーブは施主が知人から譲り受けたJØ TULのヴィンテージ。ストーブの熱を効率よく室内に対流させるため、煙突は2階ホールを経由し垂直に外部へ露出させた。
M house is a two storey-residence, located in a traditional Japanese setting in Katsuyama, Fukui prefecture. Despite the exterior design emphasizes a distinctive historical character of the area, the interior reflects a very simple and minimal aesthetic. Kitchen, living room and Japanese tatami room are arranged on the first floor. More privacy has been given to the bedrooms, placed on the upper floor. LDK has been organized around a double-height living space to allow natural light to trickle in.
