絆屋ビルヂング

[:en]KIZUNAYA building

The atelier, gallery, and residence for mourning jewelry artist are integrated in one building at central Kyoto. Here, the designer, who specializes in commemorative jewelry that enclose hairs and ashes of the deceased loved ones, shares the jewelry making process with his guests from all over Japan. The building is consist of wooden frame of the traditional module, the longitudinal wooden wall forming the gate which welcomes guests, and the layers of openings which assure the transparency towards the street as the traditional townhouses. We superimposed such rules and inserted wave walls sandwiching the staircase between the drawing room and the production room to make the 3-dimensionally rich relations between different but continuous programs. At last, each space as working making or living space faces the city with having different distance. The programs and contexts resonate each other.

思い出を封入したジュエリーを製作し、ゲストを迎え、家族と暮らす場所
公私にわたる多様な生活スタイルのための小さな場所の連なりを
1.8メートルグリッドの木造で実現した

町家のたつ路地をぬけると、菱形紋様の木壁に迎えられ
中庭をはさんでアトリエとギャラリーそして上階に住宅がのっている
内部では、木造の柱と梁を、やはり菱形文様の壁が
全体をつなぐ階段室を柔らかにつくりだしている

建て込んだ街の中、生活とアートと街をつなぐ場所を計画した
