Little one-room with a curve by Studio Velocity
Tokyo-based architects from Studio Velocity create not only great houses that we willingly post this month, but they also create lovely interior design and space arrangements.
"Little shop of 41 ㎡ in Nagoya city. I was afraid that the shop would disappear in the area because the small area of 41㎡ is too small when compared with the neighboring houses. That is why I started thinking of how to make it an eye atching building for passersby and drivers. I placed the main space at the most remote part of the site, while the entrance was on the opposite, street-facing side. The building transverses the site in a gentle manner and so residual exterior spaces are created. These residual spaces became a garden, the drying space, and the parking area, and all of them complete the beauty shop as a whole. The shop has the continuous style of a studio apartment and you can see the totality of the interior from the entrance. Yet one is able to see some spaces not visible from the entrance, as you walk into the back, because of the building’s curve. The volume of the curve was determined by a study to maintain the overall balance of the continuous interior space on its very edge. This space is the one most filled with natural light from the building’s skylight."
