Motoazabu
Apartment sYms.
Once known as a high-class residential area, Motoazabu is developing
into more of a modern diversified metropolitan region resultant of the economic
boom.
The neighborhood consists of Sky Scrapers like the famous Roppongi Hills
development alongside smaller just as unique small developments.
But within the chaotic big city life of this area you can still find tranquil
quietness.
What we aimed to do with this structure was to create something that would
blend with its surroundings and maintain absolute simplicity.
The true character of the building can be found on the inside.
A structure consisting of 4 corner columns with a footprint of 6.8m x 7.8m
comprising one room.
The design concept takes in a diagonal line of 450mm in room level difference
which lends itself to create 4 distinct living areas all within a single
space.
The 2 different elevations of the floor combined with the 2 different ceiling
heights lends itself to create 4 distinct living areas all within a single
space.
The office and living area take up the stage with views of the city and
the bedroom space surrounded by post beams provides openness and a sense
of privacy to modern city life in one room.
