Located in Osaka, reimagines a Meiji-era row house through a two-phase renovation: structural upgrades for safety and energy efficiency, followed by community workshops shaping the interior. This hybrid approach revives the aging home as a flexible rental space, currently evolving into a local health and reading hub, blending heritage with new civic life. This user-oriented framework separates technical upgrades from interior decisions, allowing tenants to shape the space through lightweight, participatory renovation. The process fosters ownership and openness.
