It is rebuilt from our parent's house where both of us were brought up. When he decided to rebuilt the house and consulted with me, we just wanted to leave something of our good old memories. <BR> So, this old well, which had been forgotten and left actually beneath the floor for a long time, became a symbolic object of this project in the end. We carefully planned and decided to locate it at the corner of comfortable multipurpose patio. We even put up the old-fashioned hand-push pump on it for making its smart re-debut! Now, it is not so difficult for me to imagine many of his friends and family members would appreciate it, as well, especially on a clear summer day. <BR> The patio with lattice verandah provides flexibility of the house creating a new comfortable life-style, diversifying the purpose of use of the space for a living room, a dining room, a workshop or just relaxation.</TD> </TR> </TBODY> </TABLE> </CENTER> <P align="right"><A href="patio_plan_2.htm" id="_HPB_ROLLOVER1" onmouseout="HpbImgSwap('_HPB_ROLLOVER1','gif/button_go_plan_n_image.gif');" onmouseover="HpbImgSwap('_HPB_ROLLOVER1','gif/button_go_plan_m_image.gif');" target="_top"><IMG border="0" name="_HPB_ROLLOVER1" src="gif/button_go_plan_n_image.gif" alt="for plan"></A><BR> <BR> <BR> </P> <P align="center" style='font-size : 10pt;font-family : "ＭＳＰゴシック";'>Construction:Sasaoka kougyo Co.,Ltd./Photogrash:Reiko Takatsuka</P> <HR align="center" size="1" style="color : #4f4f4f;" width="100%"> <CENTER style="font-size : 8pt;font-family : Arial;color : #4f4f4f;"><A style="color : #6a6a6a;font-size : 8pt;font-family : Verdana;font-weight : bold;" href="syara_2.htm" target="patio_right">[back]</A>　　<A style="color : #6a6a6a;font-size : 8pt;font-family : Verdana;font-weight : bold;" href="kappou_m_2.htm" target="patio_right">[next]</A><BR> <BR> <TABLE cellpadding="0" cellspacing="5"> <TBODY> <TR> <TD width="105" style="color : #ffffff;background-color : #4f4f4f;font-size : 8pt;font-family : Arial;" align="center"><A href="index_2.htm" target="_top">Top Page</A></TD> <TD width="105" style="font-size : 8pt;font-family : Arial;color : #ffffff;background-color : #4f4f4f;" align="center"><A href="gallery_2.htm" target="_top">Gallery Menu</A></TD> <TD width="105" style="font-size : 8pt;font-family : Arial;color : #ffffff;background-color : #4f4f4f;" align="center"><A href="suki&sukiya.htm" target="_top">Suki and Sukiya</A></TD> <TD width="105" style="font-size : 8pt;font-family : Arial;color : #ffffff;background-color : #4f4f4f;" align="center"><A href="ht_2.htm" target="_top">HaruhikoTakatsuka</A></TD> <TD width="105" align="center" style="font-size : 8pt;font-family : Arial;color : #ffffff;background-color : #4f4f4f;"><A href="info_2.htm" target="_top">Company Profile</A></TD> <TD width="105" align="center" style="font-size : 8pt;font-family : Arial;color : #ffffff;background-color : #4f4f4f;"><A href="mailto:info@takatsuka-architects.com">E-mail</A></TD> </TR> </TBODY> </TABLE> <BR> Copyright (C) 2001-2002 Takatsuka Architects Firm Co.,Ltd., All rights reserved.</CENTER> </BODY>
