A Tadao Ando-designed inner space, framed by unadorned concrete walls, infuses this about 100-year-old traditional wooden house in Honmura with new life. Here, contrasting elements of past/present, wood/concrete, and light/shadow overlap in a microcosm of Ando's architectural style. Learn about Ando's work and Naoshima history through photographs, sketches, and models, and see how the museum itself has given the venerable old house new life.
