打破生硬

本案是對業主家的一套公寓進行的改造項目。在改造之前，公寓的布局是日本常見的2DK戶型，即由兩臥一衛、一間與廚房相連的用餐室和一間休息室組成。這是東京公寓的標準格局，雖應用甚廣，但對于新新都市群體來說顯然過時而生硬。為解決這一問題，KINO建筑事務所提出了“白色空間”與“木質空間”兩個概念，以打破2DK布局所形成的生硬感。

白色空間

白色空間由一濕區和一間小室組成。空間體積考慮了三個因素:濕區設施、儲物空間需要和房屋主人的身材的大小。除非你曾在東京居住過，否則你很難想象我們每天所要遭受空間狹小的困擾。因此，設計出功能齊全而空間緊湊的公寓十分必要，這也是呆板的2DK格局盛行的一個原因。為了把日常所需全部集成到一個空間，我們打破了這種舊式的布局以適應當代都市人的需求。

木質空間

靈活性是“木質空間”的主題，為此我們選用了L型布局。對于單房來說，L型的格局確保了房屋使用者可以根據具體情況將其劃分成兩到三個不同的區域。這樣一來，公寓就可以同時進行各種活動，一切會變得自然順暢，互不相擾。

作為一居住空間，靈活性與功能性是本項目兩大主要特色。白色與木質空間的結合，擴大了狹小空間的整體預期效果。

改造是可持續的手段

伊勢神宮是日本最負盛名的神社之一，每二十年都會拆除重建。這似乎并是一種可持續的做法，因為混凝土和石材能使建筑保持得更為長久。木材雖不及上述材料經久耐用，卻也具有可持續性，因為它可以改造成我們想要的設計。“木質空間”的設計正是運用了這一理念，從而創造出房屋的靈活性來。當建筑基于這樣的概念進行改造之后，隨著業主能夠根據需要調整空間，之前平面布局的生硬感也就“煙消云散”了。

Decomposing Rigidity

The purpose of this project was to remodel an apartment suite that is attached to a landowner’s house. Before any remodeling took place， the apartment’s layout was a common， Japanese –style “2DK”， which consists of two private bedrooms， a dining room that is connected to the kitchen， a bathroom， and a rest room. This is the standard layout for a large number of Japanese apartments in Tokyo， but is far too outdated and rigid for modern urbanites. With this concept in mind， KINO architects proposed two spaces to break down the rigidity of the 2DK apartment – “White Space” and “Wood Space”.

White Space

The “White Space” consists of a wet area (kitchen， toilet， bathroom， and washing basin) and a closet. The volume was based on three factors – the wet area facilities， the overall storage space， and the user’s body size. Unless you have lived in Tokyo before， it is difficult to imagine the spatial limitations we go through everyday. It is necessary to design both highly functional and densely compact apartments – hence， the high number of “rigid” 2DKs. By combining all the daily “necessities” into one space， we were able to break out of this old-fashioned layout to create an area that suits the modern generation’s needs.

Wood Space

The main theme of the “Wood Space” is flexibility， which is why we chose to use an L-shape. While it is only a single room， the L-shape allows the area to be divided into two or three distinctive sections， depending on how the user sees fit. Therefore， the apartment can become acclimatized to several activities at any one time – it becomes a more natural environment because the areas created by the user will not impede upon one another.

It is uncommon for living spaces to contain the two key characteristics of this project， Functionality and Flexibility. It is through the combination of both the “White” and “Wood” Spaces that make it possible to have these two traits co-exist， augmenting the overall desired effects within a small space.

Remodeling as a Tool for Sustainability

Ise-jingu， one of the most famous wooden shrines in Japan， is torn down and rebuilt once every twenty years. This does not seem like a sustainable practice， considering stonemasonry or poured-concrete last much longer.Wood does not last as long as the aforementioned materials， but can be just as sustainable because it has the flexibility to be constantly reformed or remodeled to whatever design we desire. This concept was applied to the “Wood Space”， making future plans for remodeling the landowner’s attached house quite flexible. Once the entire building is remodeled under this theme， it will “melt” away any rigidity of the previous floor plan， as the owner can adjust the balance between spaces as he sees fit.
