Scrivo dall'Italia. Personalmente amo le costruzioni con struttura in legno nello stile giapponese. Linee essenziali, pulite, ma che osservando attentamente nascondono una tecnica lavorativa che non è solo il meglio dell'artigianato giapponese in tecnica di carpenteria, permettetemi di usare il termine di "arte". Ho comperato dei libri sulle tecniche di costruzione giapponesi in legno che mi hanno permesso di ammirare meglio questa tecnica di costruzione. Osservo gli ambienti, gli spazi, i colori dei legni e mi danno la sensazione di pace. Peccato non poter percepire il profumo emanato dal legno. Complimenti, siete artisti!!! Saluti dall'Italia 🇮🇪👍🇯🇵

You know the carpenter is at the highest level when he wears gloves not to protect his hands but to protect the wood.

今まで建築業以外にも人の家に上がる仕事をしてきて、金持ちから庶民の家まで数えきれない程他人の家に上がってきたけど、ここまでの家は見た事ないな。今ではプレカットばかりで腕のある大工でも中々こんな仕事をする機会もないのに幸運ですね。

Cedar is an antibacterial wood, its good for other uses as well, not only decorative use. You can use it like the copper handels ja door frames because it prevents bacteria to grow on it

The house is beautiful. The roof looks very intricately done. If you don't mind my asking, what materials were used? It's difficult to tell from the footage alone.

@thecarpentrylife 2 жыл бұрын
Thank you for watching. The wood used was a combination of Hinoki (Japanese Cypress) and Sugi (Japanese Cedar). It is common for Hinoki to be used in areas where the wood will be visible as it has a nicer quality and natural finish. It is also commonly used for foundation work as it is a better would versus Sugi. However, it is not uncommon for houses to be made of entirely one or the other wood. It depends on where you live and your access to what is most prevalent. Sugi and Hinoki are both readily available. Other wood can be Matsu (Japanese Pine) and Hiba (another Japanese Cypress). Matsu and Hiba were not used in this house. If they were it was not used for any of the structure or foundation.

Hi. I couldn't tell you the total cost as it will probably be inaccurate. For the build itself with materials and labor it was around $500k. Keep in mind the interior and selected design features were higher than standard with better tatami mats, textured walls, reclaimed and restored front door, and other amenities. This house was designed by an architect who specialized in combining different elements from Japanese history. From the carpenter's viewpoint it was a very difficult build due to the complexity of the joinery and the size of the beams and pillars. It is a sturdy house that will stand the test of time for sure. In later videos, I will try to add more financial information, but keep in mind the cost of wood and materials has significantly changed since this build. Inflation, wood shock, and global conflicts are having a trickle down affect in this industry. In short, I would estimate that this total package was pushing $500k. Hope this helps. Take care.

The one thing my head struggles with is that in Japan, despite the excellent build quality of homes like this, its maximum life span is considered to be only 100 year's ! Apparently the tax law's force home owner's to rebuild. I think that's very sad. I'm building a house that I fully expect to last at least 500 year's and hopefully a lot longer. That said most houses in Australia are built to a shockingly poor standard. After twenty years they will be falling apart. The building industry profits from poor construction of course, along with the banks. This is not the way of the craftsman.
