House OM in Okinawa, Japan by STUDIO MONAKA

Monday, March 2nd, 2020

Article source: STUDIO MONAKA

Nestled on a lot seven meters below the street frontage, this home required careful consideration on how it looked from slightly above, due to the higher ground level when approaching the building. Not only that, the final sewage drainpipe was located 1.5 meters above the ground, requiring the floor of the bath and toilet to stand higher than the rest of the rooms. On another note, the client asked for this dwelling to convey a feeling of departure from the ordinary, such as that of a resort hotel. We proceeded with the design task keeping these conditions and requests in mind while respecting the Okinawan climate and culture.

The following interior design was realized for a store selling dairy products owned by a company which runs its own dairy farm. Since the distinctive characteristic of their products is the fact that fresh milk produced at the dairy farm is used in each and all of their products, we were tasked with providing a space to attractively display said products by evoking the imagery associated with fresh milk and the farm throughout the entire space.

It takes 40 minutes by ferry from the nearest island with an airport to reach Iriomote-Island, which is a part of Okinawa in the south of Japan. With an area of over 90% covered by subtropical virgin forest, the entire island is designated as a national park. The client had lived on Iriomote- Island for 14 years.
