　荒磨きの焼杉を張り巡らせた2.73m×11.22mの細長い箱状の住宅です。　妻の実家近くの良好な住環境の中に土地を見つけ、狭いながらもそこに住む覚悟をもって設計の依頼をされました。　建主は大手メーカーのプロダクトデザイナー。要望のイメージ（立原道造のヒヤシンスハウスや茨木のり子の家）とはっきりとした好み（モダンデザインと素材感など）がありました。　敷地は細長く、建物の間口は一間半しか取れず、そこに廊下をとると人が寝られる居室が取れません。その状況でいかに個と家族の居場所をつくるかを検討しました。また、空間やプライバシーなどに大小、高低、明暗など多様なシーンを与え、筒状の空間が単調にならないことを心がけています。　耐力壁の配置を左右に振り分け、緩やかに各階の空間を三等分し、中央のスペースを1階は居間、2階は板の間とし、落ち着いた留まれるスペースとしました。そこから見えるスペースでは袖壁に隠れた位置に開口を配置し、光の入り具合を調整し、性格の違うスペースを目論んでいます。

昭和九年に建てられた旧猪子家住宅。朽ち果てる寸前であったこの建物を2015年から2017年に掛けて修繕した。外観はそのままに、痛んでいるところを補修し、和室などは壁仕上げをやり直した。台所については、多少リフォームされたいたが、「たたき土間」や「水場」など、昔の「竈（くど）」ように改修した。

Dining Room Design Ideas with Tatami Floors

A dining room can be used for casual dining, integrated into an open plan and connected to the living and kitchen areas; or as a formal space reserved solely for entertaining. While it may not be used frequently, it is a great focal point in the home, and requires little furnishings. Here's what you need to consider before you start planning a new dining room...

How will you use your dining room?

First, consider how frequently you will use the space. If you plan on using your dining room on a daily basis, a casual dining set-up with sturdy, long-lasting furniture is best. As for where you position it – well, any unused space in the home can be converted into a casual dining space, whether it be at the end of a kitchen island, or at the bottom of the stairs. A formal dining room, on the other hand, is more suited to a dedicated space, which is more common in heritage homes where space originally wasn’t at a premium. Perhaps you want your dining room to multi-task and accommodate everyday meals, homework sessions and grown-up dinner parties… If that’s the case, furniture is key. Look for versatile dining tables in either Australian or New Zealand hardwood or weathered timber for a more rustic look. These won’t show up sticky fingerprints as much and can be dressed up for guests.

What size and shape should your dining table be?

Your dining table should be able to seat all family members with some room for additional guests – each person should have at least 60 centimetres of space at the table. The right size, however, also depends on how much room you have. A general rule of thumb is to leave no less than 1 metre from the dining table to the wall or any additional furniture, so people have enough room to comfortably move around the space. Rectangular dining tables are versatile and can work in a variety of settings, while oval dining tables are more traditional and can turn any meal into an occasion. If you have a tight space to work in, a round dining table is best, and also a great option if you want to encourage conversation. A square dining table can be a dramatic addition to a dining room, but only if you have the space. It allows everyone at the table to see each other, but the bigger the table, the harder it will be able to hold a conversation with someone at the other end.

What type of dining chairs should you choose?

Once you’ve decided on a dining table, look for dining chairs that share a common design element. If your dining table legs are curved, for example, try to match them with dining chairs that have a similar curve, either in the legs or back. Next, consider the dimensions of the chair. The height of your dining chairs should allow at least 30 centimetres between the top of the seat and the top of the table. And to keep your tush happy, avoid dining chairs narrower than 45 centimetres.

How can you decorate your dining room?

Dining rooms are relatively minimal spaces, but that makes them a great place to splash a little colour through artwork, especially if yours is a formal dining room. If your dining room is lacking warmth, consider painting the walls a deep shade of red or blue, or go contemporary with black or grey. A cosy rug will make the space feel more intimate, while a sideboard or cabinet of curiosities will further personalise the space. Often overlooked, dining room lighting can also drastically alter the mood of a room, creating drama, spurring romance or encouraging conversation. Opt for soft lighting in the dining area with dimmer switches, and choose oversized pendants in large, open spaces or to make the dining area more of a focal point. Finally, add some table settings, such as a lace tablecloth for a whimsy feel, or a more basic table runner for a chic look.
