• Designing and building of traditional Japanese wooden architecture

Thank you for accepting my irregular request that one room of an apartment renovates to a chiropractic clinic. I searched a contractor that was willing to remodel the room into a unique space having also an authentic atmosphere which is not affected by trends. And I asked Seyseysha which has succeeded high skills that have been passed down in Japan since ancient times and has achievements.

Before I decided to order, I went to see the house made by Seyseysha. It was a hot day in summer. I was impressed that there was no air conditioner, but for some reason the room surrounded by tsuchikabe(clay reinforced by bamboo laths) was comfortable with a fine scent of wood. It may be because that the ability of tsuchikabe to purify air and keep humidity comfortably. I’m really surprised the wisdom of Japanese ancients about how to spend comfortably in high temperature and humidity in midsummer. Also while I was talking with Mr. Fukada, I was attracted to his sincerity and an uncompromising consistent stance of Seyseysha. That is the number one reason I chose Seyseysha. 

He took on our difficult request from the stage of conducting meeting. I could relax and leave the work with him.

It’s a remodeling one room in an apartment, not a room made by total traditional construction methods. So our room can’t reach the latter comfort. However, that is completely different from a room using general building materials and methods and it became the refreshing and relaxing room that takes advantage of Japanese traditional skills. I’m very satisfied with it. Thank you very much again.
