Hello

 

 

 

 

 

 

Science Home Konosu store

 

 

 

 

 

This time we will introduce the N-san residence, a traditional Japanese house with a spacious space that is comfortable for both people and cats.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the appearance

 

 

 

The exterior walls are painted white for a soft, natural finish.

 

 

 

The sloped roof and round window on the second floor are eye-catching.

 

 

 

The garden is covered with gravel for easy maintenance.

 

 

 

It is easy to maintain, but it also helps prevent crime and improves drainage.

 

 

 

To prevent the area from looking too bleak, stepping stones have been laid and trees have been planted.

 

 

 

There is plenty of space in the parking lot

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Upon entering the entrance, the large windows let in sunlight, making it a bright and welcoming space.

 

 

 

There is a shoe rack at the back right of the entrance.

 

 

 

The shelves are adjustable so you can adjust them to fit your shoe type.

 

 

 

The N-san residence has a streamlined layout with the entrance and living/dining/kitchen area directly connected.

 

 

 

There is no entrance hall, so there is no partition, and the living room is open to the skylight.

 

 

 

Combined, it feels even more open.

 

 

 

The living room has large beams, a staircase and wooden lattice on the second floor.

 

 

 

It's a space that feels like it's surrounded by trees.

 

 

 

The hotel uses a lot of wood, so you can feel the scent of cypress wherever you are.

 

 

 

It's a relaxing space.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To the left of the living room is the kitchen.

 

 

 

At the back of the kitchen there is a cupboard reminiscent of an old-fashioned house.

 

 

 

The upper part of the built-in shelf is covered with kitchen tiles, making for a lovely kitchen.

 

 

 

The kitchen is spacious, so a couple can work side by side.

 

 

 

There is a dining table next to the kitchen, which makes work more efficient.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the washroom

 

 

 

Separate the bathroom and dressing room for a simpler, private space without letting your friends in.

 

 

 

If they are separated, you can store things according to their purpose, which makes them easier to use.

 

 

 

You can customize the space under the sink to make it easier to use.

 

 

 

On the right is the dressing room.

 

 

 

Laundry drying space is provided

 

 

 

Drying clothes indoors is not affected by the weather, so you can get your housework done smoothly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the loft space on the second floor.

 

 

 

You can add a counter and use it as a workspace.

 

 

 

The sloped ceiling is lit by inorganic lights, giving it the feel of an old house.

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are also bedrooms and a hobby room on the second floor.

 

 

 

In the hobby room, I keep my favorite books lined up on the built-in bookshelf.

 

 

 

You can enjoy your favorite music and spend your time freely.

 

 

 

This space has a round window, and a catwalk is set up around it.

 

 

 

It has become a play area for cats.

 

 

 

Cats have a habit of moving up and down, so to help them get more exercise

 

 

 

It's the best choice.

 

 

 

It's a fun space for both people and cats.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How was N-san's house?

 

 

 

This is a good reference for creating a space that both people and cats can enjoy.

 

 

 

Even though the space is large, the exterior insulation keeps the room warm in winter with just one air conditioner.

 

 

 

It seems that people can go barefoot for a year and still live their daily lives comfortably.

 

 

 

Hinoki also has a deodorizing effect, so even if you have a cat, you won't have to worry about the smell.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'll show you another wonderful home.
