Shimane Prefecture Historic Folk House Restoration Project

戦火を免れた島根県には、地場のクリ、クロマツ、ケヤキを使った優良な古民家が多く現存しています。しかし、毎年200棟の古民家が解体・焼却さされていると言われることからこれらの実態調査や実測調査などを行い、貴重な古民家や古材の保存活動を行います。

なお、この活動の一部は、公益信託大成建設自然・歴史環境基金の助成を受けて活動しました。

Our group connected the area increasing in the ratio of empty houses and the architect office (Atelier TEKUTO), and built space with the function of the dwelling (villa) with shop which reused skeletons of two small storehouses. This is a specific example of the re-utilized form matched to the present day.
Please see this for the building details.
