SWITCH
Nozawa, Setagaya, Japan
When a person's office is separate from their home, there will always be
some kind of door between the two points. To me, the opening of the
door is very symbolic - like a switch where we change modes from
"working " to "at home". In this case, where the office and the
living area share the same space, it was important for me to include
some form of "switch", which transforms the environment. In both spaces,
the switch took the form of a large door.This is the interior design of a single home office. It was the owner’s
intent that the floor plan could be changed to completely separate the
living and office sections. This request was rendered impossible, due to
the original structure being of box frame type reinforced concrete
construction, with almost all walls acting as supporting building
frames.The addition of two bookshelves, each with a large door,
allowed us to create a space with the ability to adapt from home to
office or from office to home, while leaving the original floor plan
intact. The first bookshelf was added to the meeting room. By moving
the large door, the meeting space can be divided in two. The space on
the side of the bookshelf becomes a library. The large door also
includes an opening in order to allow it to pass over the dining table
dining. In this way, the table is shared between the library and meeting
spaces. The second addition was in the bed room. The opening in the
bookshelf creates a passage making it possible to approach the shelf
from the office, without passing through the bedroom. When the door is
opened, it creates a partition between the the bedroom and study, and
also has the effect of changing the space to a library.
