The ground floor of the former Shimogyo Library, a pre-war building and over 100 years old, was renovated as a DIY project. The walls were painted white as they were noticeably dirty. The floor was also distorted and unsuitable for precision machinery, so the floor was surveyed using water heights and raised using a plamocrene and structural plywood to create a flat floor surface. For the finish, lauan plywood was used with an oil finish to create a calm and luxurious impression while keeping costs down.

戦前の建物であり築100年を超える旧下京図書館の一階をDIYで改装した。壁の汚れが目立ったため白色に塗装した。また床も歪みが大きく、精密機械を置くには不適であったため、水盛りで測量しプラモクレンと構造用合板を用いた床上げを行い、平面の出た床面を構成した。仕上げにはラワン合板をオイル仕上げで使い、コストを抑えつつも落ち着いた高級感のある印象を作った。
