In order to develop an attitude of thankfulness and a bond with the family which tend to be neglected,
I focused on designing space where the family live a normal life surrounded by objects and also will grow with a child.
Considering individual connections, I believe that minimal space is required for the family who gather and enjoy their happy life.
Minimal design can be considered as a cold and hard approach, however the family will be emphasized in the limited space and they can produce new and fresh space by themselves without being domesticated.
For this reason, I have removed additional design as much as possible. I mainly used mortar for walls and laminated wood for flooring in order to reduce costs. The ceiling is low due to an old building, therefore I chose skeleton design in order to prevent a closed feeling. I used an original mortar beam to make an impact of space. I also designed KK chairs for the KK apartment. The table is also my original product.
I infused the clear and white paint that continues from the entrance to the structural column in the veranda with a meaning of walking straight without change.
