The first thing that came to mind when we developed the plan was to reconfigure the disproportionate extended volume on the east side of the main house. At first, we considered remodeling this part, but as we discussed with the client, we came up with a plan to place the stair and the distribution in the center of the building with addition of a volume for the entrance hall on the ground floor and the children's room on the first floor.

プランを再構成する上で最初に考えられたのが、増築された不釣り合いなメインハウス東側の動線部分を再構成することでした。当初はこの部分を作り変えることも考えられましたが、クライアントと話し合いを続ける中で、動線を建物の中央に配置し、一階をエントランス、二階を子供部屋とする案ができました。

A casa da Calçada é composta por dois edifícios principais num terreno de grandes dimensões. O edifício principal, construído no século XVIII, foi diversas vezes ampliado no passado, com espaços semiexteriores para arrumos e pequenos armazéns.

The Calçada house consists of two main buildings on a large site. The main building, built in the 18th century, has been expanded several times in the past, with semi-outdoor spaces for storage and small warehouses.

Though it has been long time before Origami lamp was applied in the project, 1930 City Lodge
(http://www.1930citylodge.com/, https://www.ren-ito.com/1930-city-lodgejp.html) has accepted the use of this lamp. Until then, only some prototypes were produced, but suddenly mass-production started. With cooperation of many people and trial-and-error, they were delivered to the client.
