This is the renovation of the 150 year old farmers’ house. Obtaining sufficient strength by arranging many diagonal brace materials around the periphery of the building like a vertical lattice in layers, the inner walls that subdivided the space were removed. This architecture has regained flexibility and gradational connection with the surrounding environment which the original farm house had.
