Unique Properties
The request was to change the RC inn to a wooden structure. So, we relocated the robust old private house from the same Hokuriku area and revived. This plan was consistent with the owner's concept. This stately private house built 120 years ago was too large to be a general house, but it became the characteristic building as the accommodation facility by reusing. We also reused all the fittings and interior materials that had been used before not to hurt the atmosphere of the historic house.

Production Technology
We used materials that Japanese people have valued since ancient times, such as wood, stucco and reused wood fittings. Also, by the technique of craftsmen who have been supporting traditional Japanese beauty and relaxation in the space.
Design Challenge
Using heavy old materials and old fittings heavily, gave us a hard time harmonize with new materials. Another is adding a calm texture and composure into new materials as if they worn-out are.
Project Duration
The project started in November 2006 in Echizen town, Fukui prefecture, Japan and finished in October 2007.
Operation Flow
It is inn that everyone feel strength, rusticity, and beauty of Japanese folk house.
Research
This place is known as the wild ocean, so we decided to harmonize with this severe climate and bring the strength of the old private house structure in the fore. We also reused all the fittings and interior materials that had been used before not to hurt the atmosphere of the historic house. As a result, we can feel guest satisfaction beyond our expectation. The dynamic composition by the internal old woods astonishes visitors.
Inspiration
As a result, we can feel guest satisfaction beyond our expectation. The dynamic composition by the internal old woods astonishes visitors. In the traditional building, we think that we can taste local seafood dishes more delicious. There is no doubt that this full-fledged Japanese-style inn will make a better impression on Ryouriyado Yamazaki. Our concept is harmonize with architecture and climate. Learn by traditional architecture.
