Shojiko High Village House – Sunroom & Dining
May 7, 2010 by admin · Leave a Comment
Restoring an old home is a new adventure in design everyday. When we took out the southern kitchen wall at the Shojiko Lake House ( currently for sale ), to add a sun room and dining area, we exposed the old beams which held up the thatched roof. We hadn’t realized they were buried there in the ceiling, so when we saw how beautiful they looked, we redesigned the new ceiling on the spot to leave them visible. It was an extra half day of consulting with the carpenters to figure it out, but well worth the result.
