an abandoned japanese building from 1967 has been revived by japanese nano architects using a ‘transplantation’ method. the original structure has undergone a metaphorical surgical operation – preserving the nostalgic elements of the architecture. the internal spatial fabric has been characterized by classifying three different sections within the plan, highlighting rudimentary industrial features such as exposed pipes and oil supply systems. the renovation restores the legacy of the traditional japanese-styled quarters – providing a space that contrasts the early interior architecture of the late 1960s.
