｢多機能の箱が豊かさを生む空間｣

愛知県名古屋市瑞穂区で計画したマンションリノベーション。最小限の間仕切り壁でできるだけ多くの余白をとりつつ収納を確保するために、大小様々な収納、扉、照明、椅子などの機能をあわせ持つ「箱」を点在させることで、意匠を一貫させ開放感も得た計画。

昨今の物価高騰によりフルリノベーションするにはそれなりの費用がかかるようになった。そこでここではシナベニヤで製作した箱を設置するだけで他と差別化された空間が出来上がるようなシンプルなリノベーションとし、工事費のコストダウンを図った。またその箱は収納のみならず、扉や照明、椅子など様々な機能を同時に持たせ、大きさの大小であったり、設置する場所や高さなどで用途が変わるようなコストパフォーマンスの高いものになるように意識した。

この物件の北側には公園の自然が望める素晴らしい眺望があった。大きな収納部屋を作ると南北が分断されてしまう。そこで南側のLDKと北側の窓を繋ぐため間仕切りを最小限に減らしワンルーム空間に近い空間とした。各所に必要な収納を確保するためにも「箱」を点在させ収納としながら、それらは扉であり照明でもあり椅子としての機能を持たせた。それらは空間にリズムをもたらし余白や奥行きを生み一貫性のある意匠とすることで、日常生活と外部の自然が繋がった豊かな内部空間が生まれたと考えている。

'A space where multifunctional boxes create abundance'

Renovation of a condominium in Mizuho-ku, Nagoya, Aichi. In order to secure as much storage space as possible with minimal partition walls, “boxes” of various sizes, doors, lighting, chairs, and other functions were scattered throughout the space to create a consistent design and a sense of openness.

Due to the recent price hikes, full renovation of the house has become quite expensive. Therefore, a simple renovation was adopted to create a differentiated space by simply installing boxes made of linden veneer in order to reduce the construction cost. The box is not only for storage, but also has various functions such as doors, lighting, and chairs at the same time, and we were conscious of making it cost-effective so that its use can be changed depending on its size, location, and height.

The north side of this property had a great view of the park's nature. Creating a large storage room would have divided the north and south sides of the building. Therefore, in order to connect the LDK on the south side with the windows on the north side, partitions were reduced to a minimum to create a space similar to a one-room space. In order to secure the necessary storage space in various places, “boxes” were scattered throughout the room to serve as storage, but they also functioned as doors, lighting, and chairs. The boxes bring a rhythm to the space and create a sense of space and depth, and by creating a consistent design, we believe we have created a rich interior space that connects daily life with the natural environment outside.
