RENKA is a beautifully renovated model house in Asakura Town, Fukuoka Prefecture, transforming a 70-year-old rice mill into a modern residence while preserving its rich history. The renovation showcases a harmonious blend of the building's original charm and contemporary lifestyle needs. The original structure comprises a one-story rice milling area and a two-story warehouse. While the upper levels became a residential space, the lower portion serves as a welcoming retail area, promoting community engagement. This project aims to offer a sustainable alternative to typical model homes that become outdated quickly, enriching community ties and local history.
