宮城県気仙沼市大島 住宅/工場計画-1
(2013年 計画/2015年 住宅のみ竣工)


気仙沼の内湾に、大島という島があります。この島で牡蠣の養殖を営むご家族の、住宅と工場の再建計画です。震災前は海に近い工場の横に住宅があったのですが、被災して全壊。住宅は高台に移転することになりました。住まいから海辺の工場まで、公道を通らずに、斜面の私有地を通って行き来するプランです。計画の段階では工場の新築も考えましたが、古い建物がかろうじて残っていたので手直しして使うことになり、住宅のみ新築しました。大きなプロジェクトではありませんが、二つの場所をつなげて考えるという点で、集落を計画することと通じるものがありました。

House and Workshop Plan 1, Oshima,
Kesennuma City Miyagi Prefecture
(2013, planning / 2015, completion of house only)

The island of Oshima is located in Kesennuma Bay. This plan was intended to rebuild the home and workshop of an oyster farming family. Before the Great East Japan Earthquake, the family lived in a house adjacent to the workshop situated near the oceanfront, however, the workshop and house were destroyed by the tsunami. The family decided to relocate their house to higher ground, and this plan would allow them to travel between their house and workshop by passing through sloping private land without using the public road. During the planning stage, we also considered building a new workshop, however, since the old building was still slightly intact, we decided to repair that and build only the house anew. Although this wasn’t a large project, it had relevance to community planning in that it entailed connecting two locations.
