SIZE
1000 sqft - 3000 sqft
The site lies along the main road through the countryside. In the outskirts, private houses stand side by side, and the forest of guardians spreading around the approach of the shrine spreads.
A building with massive volume finished with galvanized iron plate and mortar that gives out a dull light is arranged along the shape of the site of the L shape and stood as if it confronts the company of the shrine that faces it.
This building is used as a residence of a photographer 's atelier and a gallery.
The desire of the client is the space where the workshop studio and life merge.
Therefore, instead of segmenting the space for each function, we clarified how the resident wanted to live, and derived the optimum plan.
Following the entrance approach, the path of dim light leads visitors to the interior by light shining from the ceiling of the connected gallery.
In the gallery, the landscape is cut off by the opening as if the scenery itself was exhibited, and the contrasted scale and the natural light resonate with each other.
This space that makes you feel quiet euphoria in your daily life also functions as a photogenic shooting location.
An elongated passage space like the alley around the gallery is also used as a space where art and photographs can be decorated on the wall, and has a function which is not just a moving space. Changing the line of sight, changing the height of the ceiling, shadows created by natural light create a beautiful passage space. Located in the center of the building, the hall with the difference in the floor level is the Habus space connecting each space. The necessary water circulation, counters, stairs are arranged for living, and the structure connected with the approach from the courtyard creates a beautiful scene in addition to the comfort from the function side.
Atelier which is also used as a living space has become a dynamic space with proportions and scales to correspond as a photo studio. The light falling from the high side light softly wraps the interior, enabling shooting taking advantage of natural light.
The space where various shooting equipment, vintage furniture, musical instruments, art works etc. blend together corresponds to the sensitivity and aesthetics of photographers, and it is the base to create new creation and activities.
The site is located along an arterial road that runs through countryside.
The building is made of the village shrine surrounding a passage to the shrine. The building is made of mortar and galvanized steel sheet which reflects dull light, making it Look Massive. It Is Laid Out To Be Accommodated Within The L-Shaped Lot, And Stands Facing The Shrine On The Opposite Side.
The Building Is To Be Used As A Studio And Gallery Of The Photographer And His Residence As Well.
The Client Requested To unite the studio where he produces works with his living space.
I, came up with an optimum plan by clarifying how the resident wants to live instead of segmenting the space by function.
The gallery clips out a landscape with the opening to look like an exhibition. Its contrasted scale and natural light resonate with Each other.
The space that quietly inspires a feeling of exaltation among ordinary life also plays a role of photogenic shooting location.
It is beautifully themed with sight switching, different ceiling heights, and it is also used as a space tower. It's incorporates plumbing equipment, a counter, and a staircase that are necessary that are located at the center of the building with different floor levels. For living, and is connected to an approach from the courtyard, thus not only providing functional comfort but also showing scenic beauty.
Light coming through the high-side light envelops the room, enabling photo-shooting with natural light.
Photo shooting equipment, It acts in concert with the photographer's feeling and aesthetic and acts as the base to produce new creativity and activities.
