The most important factors for a re-build were:
Keep the Minka and make it a Great Room. It’s spectacular and the whole family can be in the same room comfortably;
The kitchen and Minka would have an open flow concept. Again, the family can be together during cooking, playing and doing homework;
A big wooden deck to live outside. From late April to late October you can dine and relax outside. The access is easy from the Minka and being outside viewing the garden, the forest, the mountains is the greatest of pleasures here;
A second living room. On the second floor a big space was created for children to play or for relaxation. It’s warm in the winter and cool in the summer because of the trees and the breeze. Children can watch videos or play lego or read on the very big bench or make a lot of noise. No problem, no neighborus!
Green room. Facing south on the second floor is an area for plants and seedlings. There’s a terrace too which is wonderful in the summer and fun in the winter (you can toboggan from the second floor!!);
And maybe most importantly, natural finishing. The most expensive part of the rebuild was the high-end surface finishings. Synthetic laminated floorings and doors were avoided in favour of the real thing. The feel of real walnut on the bare soles of your bare feet is wonderful – you are grounded.
Other features included, a modern Lixil ofuro (bath) – of course. A chef’s kitchen with a modern large hi-tech oven and range, a walk-in closet with a freezer and lots and lots and lots of storage space that you can use as you please.
Essentially, the house was an old Japanese farm house made into a modern, comfortable Japanese farm house with a western interior.
