Renovated from a townhouse facing Sennyujimichi, this gallery and house are connected by a narrow alley. This alley is the characteristic of the area on the project site. The neighborhood was an awesome area where potters made climbing kilns on the slopes of Higashiyama after the era of Meiji.

The history of the area of the pottery town can be taken over by the architect in this renovation project by using ceramics. These ceramics are used for some details such as knobs for fittings, custom-made wall tiles and lighting fixtures, gardens using old tiles, and tiled dirt floors.
