Wonderful Plants Complete a Contemporary Room with Child years Memories

Japanese structure company Hironaka Ogawa & Affiliates remodeled a house in Kagawa, Asia, magnificently including two trees into the internal planning. The unique house, which was standing on the residence for thirty-five years, has distributed the area with a zelkova shrub and a camphor shrub since it was first constructed. The designers behind this remodelling venture realized that they would have to eliminate the trees to expand the building, as per the customer's demand, but found a way to keep the remembrances of the massive trees unchanged.

The owners of the home—the little girl that increased up there and her husband—offered some understanding into the residence for Ogawa to reconfigure his plans for the structural expansion. Listening to her regale experiences about going up the the trees as a child uprooted the designs' objective into one that would not only offer today's style plan but also protect the classic importance of the two trees.

Ogawa describes his process :

"I cut the two trees with their branches intact. Then I reduced the water content by smoking and drying them for two weeks. Thereafter, I placed the trees where they used to stand and used them as main structural columns in the center of the living room, dining room, and kitchen. In order to mimic the way the trees used to stand, I sunk the building addition 70 centimeters down in the ground. I kept the height of the addition lower than the main house while still maintaining 4 meter ceiling height."
