Comfortableness and atmospheres of the space is mainly decided by the height of the ceilings, so that designing those features would be one of the major points we have into. In this case, I differentiated the heights daringly to get modulating the spaces. <BR> At the time, the client was in his thirties and he basically preferred more modern and simple style at first. I boldly tried to persuade him, however, expressing that it is important that the style of house could be considered from each point of views on age, profession and the social standing. "Imagine, 10 years later, I am sure that you will be appreciated with this special feature", I said to him and he accepted my idea in the end.<BR> Recently, I had a chance to meet him and he made me very happy telling me that he is getting more and more appreciated with the house as time goes by. Having looked back, honestly, I reflected that I took too much risk of forcing my opinion on a client, however, I felt very much relieved hearing his impression.</TD> </TR> </TBODY> </TABLE> </CENTER> <P align="right"><A href="souko_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:Miyagawa Engineering<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">/</SPAN>Photogrash:Shogo Sato</P> <HR align="center" size="2" style="color : #808080;" 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="suzumeodori_2.htm" target="souko_right">[back]</A>　　<A style="color : #6a6a6a;font-size : 8pt;font-family : Verdana;font-weight : bold;" href="konpouzai_2.htm" target="souko_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>
