在东京,一个不起眼的街区中的两套公寓在建房时受到了斯堪的纳维亚和日本设计的影响:“ Kinuta Terrace ”是东京本地设计工作室Keiji Ashizawa与总部位于哥本哈根的Norm Architects合作的结果。
斯堪的纳维亚和日本设计传统的共同点是对材料的推崇,尤其是对木材和混凝土的推崇,以及其功能性空间(由优雅的极简主义和永恒的吸引力所定义)。“ Kinuta Terrace”公寓的翻新工程是一个由36个单元组成的综合体中的两个公寓,体现了这一联盟。该设计源于平衡,通过材料表达以及将光线和自然引入内部的关注。该公寓楼围绕中央庭院布置,为居民提供在带有公共花园的房屋中生活的体验。通过合作,两家公司还与日本木制家具制造商Karimoku合作,为住宅创造了一系列定制家具。“ Kinuta系列”包括12种量身定制的家具,这些家具均取自上述庭院的自然参考。其中包括“ Kinuta N-S01”(一种由烟熏橡木和米色和灰色内饰制成的现代中世纪现代沙发)和“ Kinuta A-CT01”(一种低躺的透明玻璃桌,与桌子的高度相匹配)。沙发,同时参考传统的日式短腿chabudai餐桌。

In Tokyo, two apartments in an unassuming block take influences from both Scandinavian and Japanese design in their formation: ‘Kinuta Terrace’ is the result of a collaboration between Tokyo-native design studio Keiji Ashizawa and the Copenhagen-based Norm Architects.
What Scandinavian and Japanese design traditions share in similarity is their appreciation of materiality, most especially with respect to wood and concrete, and their functional spaces defined by elegant minimalism and timeless appeal. The renovation of the ‘Kinuta Terrace’ apartments, two flats within a 36-unit complex, exemplifies this alliance. The design stems from a focus on balance, on expression through material, and on bringing light and nature inside. The apartment block is arranged around a central courtyard, to provide its residents the experience of living in a home with a communal garden. The collaboration also saw the two firms create a series of bespoke furniture pieces for the homes in collaboration with Japanese wooden furniture manufacturer Karimoku. The ‘Kinuta Collection’ consists of 12 tailormade furniture items that draw on natural references from the aforementioned courtyard. This includes the ‘Kinuta N-S01’, a contemporary, mid-century modern sofa made from smoked oak wood and beige and gray upholstery, and the ‘Kinuta A-CT01’, a low-lying transparent glass table that matches the height of the sofa, while referencing the traditional Japanese short legged chabudai dining tables.
