这个项目是对东京马込区的一个大气的复古公寓的改造。业主是一对已婚夫妇，为一家家具制造商工作。我们把原来的两室一厅的布局改成了一个充满光线的一室一厅，有客厅、用餐区和厨房。客户的要求很简单：良好的光线，大客厅，以及最少的颜色使用。在55平方米的公寓的限制下，我们在构思这个设计时的目的是要增加空间的丰富性和深度。我们专注于以下四个元素。

This project was a renovation of an atmospheric vintage apartment in the Magome neighborhood of Tokyo. The owners are a married couple working for a furniture maker. We changed the original two-bedroom layout to a light-filled one-bedroom with living room, dining area, and kitchen. The clients’ requests were simple: good light, a large living room, and minimal use of colors. Working with the limitations of a 55-square-meter apartment, our intention while conceiving this design was to add richness and depth to the space. We focused on the following four elements:

室内阳台
我们对客厅的概念集中在创造一个大都市东京公寓内的户外 “露台 “空间的氛围。面对小平面的限制，我们冒着风险，在空旷的空间里增加了一个突起的部分。室内露台并没有限制房间的功能。它打开了这个区域，为房间增加了一个丰富的 “边缘”，在空间内创造了一个有益的人与人之间的距离感。

Interior Terrace
Our concept for the living room centered on creating the atmosphere of an outdoor “terrace” space inside a metropolitan Tokyo apartment. Up against the limitations of a small floor plan, we took a risk and added a protrusion into the empty space. The interior terrace doesn’t limit the functionality of the room. It opens up the area and adds an enriching “margin” to the room, creating a beneficial sense of distance between people within the space.

紧凑的深度
将卧室、书房和存储空间整合到公寓核心的一个房间里，我们增加了公寓的深度，同时经济地利用了地面空间。设计和材料融入了一种类似于市中心酒店的 “舒适密闭 “的感觉。
水平窗的魅力
公寓的水平窗在今天的住宅区中是很罕见的，它有一种独特的魅力，我们想强调它。我们通过在新的平面图中利用窗户的形状和方向，吸引了充足的自然光，使房间感觉更宽敞。

Compact Depth
Integrating the bedroom, study, and storage spaces into a single room at the core of the apartment, we added depth to the apartment while making economical use of floor space. The design and materials incorporate a sense of “comfortable confinement” similar to a downtown hotel.
Horizontal Windows’ Charm
The apartment’s horizontal windows, which are rare in today’s housing complexes, have a unique charm that we wanted to emphasize. We drew in ample natural light and made the room feel more spacious by taking advantage of the windows’ shape and orientation in our new floor plan.

珍惜影子
新的布局给人的感觉是光线从空间的远处进入。创建一个敢于投射阴影的走廊，强调了客厅的广阔性。光和影的平衡为空间增加了深度和灵活性。
这四个元素通过最小化的色彩方法被整合，这也符合客户的要求。橡木地板是染成灰色的。所有的装置都是用灰色的中密度纤维板定制的，墙面是用Haymes涂料的纹理漆。

Cherishing Shadows
The new layout gives the feeling of light entering from far back in the space. Creating a corridor that dared to cast shadows emphasized the expansiveness of the living room. The balance of light and shadow adds depth and flexibility to the space.
These four elements were integrated through a minimal approach to colors, which was also in line with the client’s request. The oak flooring is dyed gray. All fixtures are custom-made with gray MDF, and the walls are painted with textured paint from Haymes paint.

设计中，窗棂和厨房里的不锈钢散发着暗淡的光芒，成为设计的点缀。暴露出公寓的原始骨架可能会创造出一种冰冷和不受欢迎的气氛，但灰色材料和油漆表面的微妙温暖引出了公寓骨架中原本存在的丰富性。客户有品位的家具选择和大胆的室内植物为空间增添了力量。虽然公寓的氛围是无可否认的城市化，但它也邀请人们在空间中轻松自如地度过他们的时间。

The design is accented with a dull glow from the window sashes and stainless steel in the kitchen. Exposing the raw skeleton of the apartment could create a cold and unwelcoming atmosphere, but the subtle warmth of gray materials and painted surfaces draws out the richness originally present in the apartment’s bones. The client’s tasteful furniture selection and bold house plants adds power to the spaces. While the apartment’s ambience is undeniably urban, it also invites people to pass their time in the space relaxed and unhurried.
