Sagami-ohno 公寓,日本,MAMM DESIGN

这是一个有30年历史的建筑中的一个公寓单元的翻新项目。
这是一个由三位女士组成的家庭，一位母亲和两个女儿。它朝南的宽阔正面非常吸引人，但现有的规划在日本建成时是刻板的，所以整个单位不能从宽阔的正面受益。特别是，现有的厨房是封闭的，与其他部分隔开，显然，这对于想要享受宽阔的正面风景和与女儿交流的客户来说，不是一个理想的情况。

This is a renovation project of an apartment unit in a 30-years-old building.
It’s for a family of 3 ladies, a mother and 2 daughters. Its wide frontage toward south was very attractive, but the existing plan was stereotypical one at the time of its completion in Japan, so the whole unit could not benefit from the wide frontage. Especially, the existing kitchen was closed and separated from other part, and apparently, it was not an ideal situation for the client who wants to enjoy scenery of the wide frontage and to communicate with daughters.

第一步是拆除现有的大部分隔断，除了浴室，以创造一个大空间。接下来是插入三面缓缓弯曲的墙，它们不是从地板到天花板，而是与天花板有20厘米的间隙。

The first step was to remove most of existing partitions, except bathroom, to create one big space. The next was to insert three gently-curved walls, which are not from floor to ceiling but have 20 cm clearances from ceiling.

这些墙为每个家庭创造了各种空间，保持了隐私。同时，墙壁上的开口连接了空间和家庭之间的关系。这种分离和连接不是静止的。当一个家庭在公寓里行走时，空间和家庭之间的关系每时每刻都在改变。

The walls create a variety of spaces for each family keeping privacy. At the same time, openings on the walls connects the spaces and the family each other. The separation and the connection are not static. When one of the family is walking in the apartment, relationships between spaces and family are being changed every moment.
