Atelier in Kamakura is a renovation project by Yuji Okitsu that transforms a 90-year-old abandoned house into a functional atelier while preserving its historical essence. Situated on a hillside in Kamakura, Japan, the design embraces the contrast between old and new by exposing reinforced structures, repurposing original materials, and incorporating traditional techniques like "Yakisugi" charring for durability. The project seamlessly integrates interior and exterior spaces with a concrete-finished deck that visually extends the atelier into the garden. A unique feature is the rain-responsive deck, which forms a reflective water surface, enhancing the connection between nature and architecture. This renovation highlights a respectful balance between history and modernity, demonstrating how architecture can honor the past while embracing the future.
