Yukono ie | A Renovated Home Situated on a Hill in Teine, Sapporo
Attractive Location in Teine, Sapporo
「Yukono ie」 is located on a hill in Teine, Sapporo, offering a wonderful view of the Sea of Ishikari to the northeast. However, the original design did not fully utilize the surrounding scenic beauty with its space and window placement.
Space Design Incorporating the Scenic View through Renovation
In the renovation, the living room, dining room, and kitchen were placed on the second floor to the northeast, creating a space where the outdoor scenery can be enjoyed. Additionally, the open space located to the west allows reflected light to gently envelop the interior. This light creates a warm, inviting atmosphere throughout the entire space. Additionally, the exterior insulation prevents internal condensation, ensuring clean and hygienic air quality—essential for a healthcare facility. This approach creates a comfortable space that benefits both patients and staff alike.
Material Selection Tailored to the Space
The materials used indoors were chosen to harmonize with the soft light, selecting those with calm colors and textures. This created a cohesive space, resulting in a comfortable and inviting living environment.
The Accumulation of a Careful Renovation Process
Renovation is the process of carefully refining and making effective use of existing elements. Through this process, a home that combines both functionality and beauty was achieved.
