We planned a three-story tenant building in a very small site with 28 m2. A landing for the stairs was created to match the deformed site, and the space was effectively used as a dining space with a counter.
In addition, the space under the stairs was planned to be used as a toilet and storage for each tenant.
The movement of people going up and down the stairs creates the façade of the building.
It is a house for young couples have a hobby of motorcycle, and it’s located of yokohama-shi, kanagawa, Japan.
A site becomes into a tiered stand where old retaining wall starts over two steps. Furthermore, this site has various legal limitation and it was able to be the very important design element that talks with the administration.
‘hair make ONE005’, is a beauty salon in Yokohama, Japan, the design aesthetic comprises of white walls and bare concrete the visitor with an elegant experience on the theme of a contemporary art gallery. The concept is carried consistently throughout the salon by the addition of abstract paintings and creating a partitionless openness.
Within this space, common colour elements prevail, the white of the ceiling and the matching floor and walls, are complemented by the colour of the abstract paintings and chairs, along with the gray of concrete and stone table tops. The desired effect is to create a harmonious environment and provide rhythmical visual enjoyment to visitors.
Additionally, thin framed furniture legs, allow natural light to spread throughout the salon making the whole space soft and bright guiding the visitor naturally to each section of the salon.
We has completed the design of HUDSONS flagship shop, a tailor made shoes brand located in Yokohama, Kanagawa prefecture, in Japan. This shop was a renovation work of an old building second floor. This shop opens at Wednesday night only.
By making the wall diagonal, a new easy-to-use bookshelf integrated with the building was born. Because all the shelves of the bookshelf are inclined, children, women and old people can easily climb without a ladder, and books of high position can be easily taken out and put in. In addition books don’t collapse when an earthquake occurs.
On a site area of only 42m2, we planned a housing with a horizontally long bay window (not included in the floor area) towards a park where you can see cherry blossoms.
Genesis of the Old Testament begins from the sentence “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”And the Creation of seven days is written.
The site is by the Station of the Yokohama suburban area, center of the emerging suburban district where the population of young families keeps growing. Several large shopping facilities are scattered and form a unique suburban townscape, still it is hard to say that it is attractive enough as a town or an urban space, despite those attractive facilities, active urban planning and many young and energetic people.
A Gallery in the Center Creating Communications and Connecting the House and Community
The house stands on a site facing a narrow, steep slope. Across the street is a wood, which promises a pleasant view with fresh greenery in summer and crimson foliage in autumn. The client’s request was a residential house containing a small gallery and office.
Imagine a site you might picture, when letting your mind wonder back in time: damp soil forms a soft ground, catching your footsteps, ancient, weather-beaten stairs, that have been used in earlier times as an earthen path, a lovely old retaining wall and carefully cherished plants.
