Another wooden wall

It's been a long time to renewal this blog. I'll try to write something down from now on.

We have another construction site of a wooden house which has woodern walls. Looks pretty cool, I like this one. Its color will be changing year by year, but it's gonna be like a color of driftwoods lying on the shors. I like the changed color of natural deterioration. Stone, mud, wood, paper ... those natural materials have that nature.














Unfortunately we normaly use artificial and mass production of wood materials, sidings. Wooden wall materials are expensive. The articial one does not have that beauty of natural deterioration. When it becomes old, just old and durty.














Inside of the building house, plasteres, we call them as "Sakan", were painting mud on walls. This material is a primer coat. After this, they'll put a topcoat with diatomite. This material shows natural textures of earth and have properties of moisture control, odor control, absorbing VOC and so on. It's really good for our health compare to use chemical materials.

People here in Japan, tend to think about these natural materilas, but actually, most of people do not use it due to its cost. I hope that people realize how important we use natural materials one day, and producers try to reduce the cost.

I think the situation is changing a little bit.
