A period of gradual improvement took place where housing foundations were raised up and given a concrete base that guarded against termites. Air vents were added under the eaves, as well as more sliding doors to help with air circulation, and the exterior was covered with waterproof shingles. Thus did the Taiwan Japanese-style house gradually take shape.
經過慢慢改良，將基座加高，在基座下以水泥打底，防止白蟻滋生，還有增加屋簷下的通風口，增多拉門以利空氣對流，外加防雨的魚鱗板，逐漸形成台灣特有風格的日式宿舍。
