ROOVICE exposes wooden structure within renovated apartment in tokyo's minato ward
Briefly

ROOVICE's renovation of a 1960s wooden apartment building in Minato Ward highlights a blend of heritage and modernity, transforming it into a functional commercial property.
The ground floor's earlier dark layout was significantly improved by reconfiguring the space to enhance natural light, preserved windows, and increased ceiling height.
The design preserves the rustic features of the 1960s structure, such as original roof boards and columns, while integrating modern amenities like lauan plywood for a cohesive look.
With a focus on accessibility, the entrance was relocated to encourage urban mobility, complemented by features designed for active living such as bike and skateboard storage.
