"We designed and built a two-story wooden house for a family raising children in Date City, Fukushima Prefecture. During discussions with the clients, their initial wish was to "live in a house with a dirt-floored space." The husband works in agriculture and wanted a place to cook vegetables he grew himself and share meals with his family."
"They wanted a space outside the house to temporarily store and wash vegetables harvested from their fields. They wanted a place where their young children could play freely and enjoy life. From these key ideas, the house-building journey began with creating a large earthen-floored space that connects the inside and outside, becoming the heart of the family's life."
A two-story wooden house was built in Date City, Fukushima Prefecture for a family raising children. The design prioritized a large earthen-floored space that blurs inside and outside. The husband, who works in agriculture, needed areas to cook vegetables he grew, to share meals, and to temporarily store and wash harvested produce. The family sought a safe, open place where young children could play freely and enjoy life. The earthen-floored space serves as the home's heart, facilitating food preparation, seasonal storage, family dining, and child play while connecting the house directly to surrounding fields.
