Operation Flow

The interior space area of this project is small. When cutting the cypress wood, the saw table used by the carpenter cannot be placed inside, and can only be done at the front space. Considering that cypress wood is a relatively expensive building material, when designing and cutting, precise calculation and not wasting all materials is one of the key points that the design team cares about. After the design team selected the cutting, there is still enough plate to use for the doors and ceiling panels of the Japanese room storage cabinets.
