EVERYDAY BEAUTY
A renovation project of a 15-year-old tower apartment on the 39th floor in the waterfront area of Tokyo. The residents are a mother and her college-aged daughter, seeking a space for reading and leisurely activities and daily-lives. Drawing inspiration from Vermeer and his use of light to capture everyday beauty, we have chosen to construct the room with generous and soft curves, reminiscent of fabric.Taking advantage of the existing layout with the bathroom located on the terrace side, we have created a sense of depth without the need for partitions between rooms. This design ensures a balanced distance between the mother and daughter, neither too distant nor too close.The walls, both horizontally and vertically curved, will reflect the changing light throughout the day, creating a living space filled with light that beautifully enhances daily life.

EVERYDAY BEAUTY
東京湾岸エリアにある築15年のタワーマンション39階のリノベーションプロジェクト。住人は母親と大学生の娘で、読書や日常のリラックスした活動にふさわしい空間を求めていた。フェルメールの光の使い方から着想を得、日常の美しさを捉えるために部屋を柔らかな曲線で構成し布を思わせる優雅な空間を作り上げた。テラス側に配置されたバスルームを活かし、部屋の仕切りを設けることなく奥行きを感じさせ、母親と娘が近すぎず遠すぎない程よい距離感を保てるよう工夫されている。水平・垂直にカーブした壁は、一日を通して変化する光を反射し、日常を美しく引き立てる光に満ちた居住空間を創り出す。
