Doma Lattice

We designed a display panel for the doma (entrance earthen floor) for a historical building in Ichikawamisato-cho, Yamanashi. This building, a designated registered tangible cultural property, houses a number of historical documents about the local history. We proposed to use the senbon-koushi wooden lattice pattern (lit. "the lattice formed by thousand wooden bars"), as a way to match the traditional architecture of the building and create a sense of transparency. The senbon-koushi, made of spruce pine, is supported by a thin steal frame painted in a charcoal gray that gets fused with the shadows. We designed the joints between these two elements so that they remain hidden from the front of the panel. The lattice becomes a floating screen at the entrance of the building.
