House in Ishii, Mother's House

Part of a project to renovate an old farmhouse in the Yoshino River basin in Tokushima Prefecture as a home for the owner, who is making a U-turn from Tokyo. As the first step in the sequential renovation of the buildings on the site, a house for the elderly mother was built first. While retaining the appearance of the cow shed that once stood here, a steel frame and deck-plate roof was placed over the RC wall that also serves as a fence between the house and the adjacent land, and wooden sashes were used to create a large open porch space in the front yard.
