apartment refurbishment in shinsen . Tokyo
Since this project started just after the Great East Japan Earthquake occurred, it was difficult to get enough fresh materials.
Therefore we reused the existing materials in the room such as joists or furring strips. From those materials, the box is made which include a bathroom, a closet and a bedroom. This process can reduce the transportation cost and the waste disposal cost. In the end, the total of construction costs was the half of an average market price. By reconsidering the process of making, you can become aware of the new value of waste materials as recyclables.
