The difference of Ebitsuka
This is an renovation project of interior for a room of the apartment in Hamamatsu.
This building has only 15 housing, and 3 floors, and located along the river. The room for this project is on the ground floor.
The concrete foundation was lifted 1m up from the ground to pass under the stairs of entrance. When we found this underfloor space, we thought that it is good for a new life to incorporate this space. So we took away half of floor to open this underfloor space and re-construct new small bridge for the storage and path to the balcony.
A little stairs for this level difference was made by ex beam which was under the floor, a small vent was changed to window. About window sash, by taking away anglepeice and sanding the surface, we found it is almost like a new surface which has a sequence with the concrete wall. Also, a terrazzo pattern on the beam appeared by sanding glue and chemical board which had pasted up on the beam.
Through a response with the construction itself with material, it is natural for us to use the word "choose" and "find" than "create" and "realize".
For example, after construction, we found actual cube of 3.2m in this space including the level distance.
We expect that this unexpected difference makes the life more imaginative in this residence.
