昨日は高齢者らしく病院２軒の行脚（笑）。まぁ皮膚科と歯医者なので、カラダとの「付き合い」のような感覚でして、メンテナンスチェックといったところ。
　その合間時間に直前になってお声がけいただいた「新住協支部」からのお誘いの住宅見学。たしか10日前くらいの直前で、支部での連絡係役の女性の方から、直接電話をいただきこの日程をお知らせいただいた次第。わたしは、新設分割会社・リプランハウス代表者として新住協には「個人会員登録」というカタチで鎌田先生から会員加入を認定いただいております。
　その登録プロセスで本部（仙台）に直接申請したカタチなので、北海道や札幌支部では手続き的にレアケースだったモノと思います。お手数をお掛けしてしまった次第。なんですが、そういう経緯からか「連絡が遅れ気味になって申し訳ありません」という重ねてのご丁寧な申し入れもいただきました。まことに恐縮の至り。ということで、昨年には鎌田先生の旭川での講演と住宅見学に参加させていただきましたが、今回ほぼ１年ぶり久しぶりに北海道内での新築住宅の参観機会。
　向かったのは札幌市内から約１時間ほどの距離にある当別町。建設会社は辻野建設さんのモデルハウスで、沖縄出身で東京芸大系統の設計者・伊礼智さんの「i-works」タイプというもの。たしか伊礼さんのこのシリーズについては、5-6年前くらいに茨城県地域で参観した記憶はありましたが、そういう「温暖地」的な設計スタイル〜あ、もちろん温熱性能的にはどんどん進化されていて北海道の気候に適合した住宅建築でしたが、いわゆるディテールの嗜好性においては、寒冷地の作り手とはやや距離感がある、という意味で興味深く参観させていただいた次第。
　いくつか、気付いたポイントがあったのですが、そういった内容については明日以降、数回に分けて取材報告させていただきたいと思います。
　まずは個人的に北海道のイマドキ住宅を参観する機会は、ほぼ１年間ほどなかったので、こういう空気感に戻ってこられたというワクワク感が良かったのです（笑）。この点、自分でもちょっと驚くほどに楽しんでいることがわかった。最近は本州以南地域での古民家・由緒系の住宅探訪が多く、それはそれでセカンドライフワークと思っていますが、やはり最新の北海道住宅の動向は、対比バランスとしても有益だと体感した次第です。なんとなく空気が楽しかった。

[Exploring new construction in Hokkaido for the first time in a very long time – Irechi i-works].
It’s been a long time since I experienced the latest housing models in Hokkaido. I wonder if it’s become a habit, and house-hunting has become part of my blood (laughs)…

Yesterday, like an elderly person, I visited two hospitals (laughs). Well, it was a dermatologist and a dentist, so it was like a ‘relationship’ with my body, a maintenance check.
　In the time between these visits, I received an invitation from the New Residents’ Association branch, which I was asked to join just before the visit. The woman who acts as the liaison officer for the branch called me directly to inform me of this date, about 10 days before the meeting. As a representative of Replan House, a newly established company, I have been accredited as a member of Shinjyukyo by Dr Kamata in the form of an ‘individual member registration’.
　I applied directly to the head office (Sendai) during the registration process, so I think this was a bit of a rare case in terms of procedures for the Hokkaido and Sapporo branches. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. I received a polite request to explain the circumstances, saying that I was sorry for the delay. I am very grateful for that. Last year, I had the opportunity to attend a lecture by Mr Kamata in Asahikawa, and this time, for the first time in a very long time, I had the chance to visit a newly built house in Hokkaido.
　We headed for the town of Tobetsu, about an hour away from Sapporo City. The construction company Tsujino Kensetsu built a model house of the ‘i-works’ type by Satoshi Irei, an Okinawan-born designer from the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music. I remember seeing this series of houses by Irei in the Ibaraki region around five or six years ago, but I was surprised to find that the design style of this type of house, which is more ‘warm climate’ style, has evolved in terms of thermal performance, and the architecture was suited to Hokkaido’s climate, but in terms of so-called detailing preferences, it was a bit different from the houses built in colder climates. The design style of the houses was very advanced in terms of thermal performance and suited to the climate of Hokkaido.
　There were a few points that I noticed, which I will report on in several parts from tomorrow onwards.
　First of all, I personally hadn’t had the opportunity to visit an Imadoki house in Hokkaido for almost a year, so the thrill of being back in this kind of atmosphere was good (laughs). In this respect, I found myself a little surprised at how much I was enjoying myself. Recently, I have been exploring many old private houses in the Honshu region and southwards, which I consider to be my second life’s work, but I also experienced that the latest trends in Hokkaido housing are beneficial as a contrasting balance. I kind of enjoyed the air.
