This project is a new store reopened by a chef who has been operating a Japanese restaurant in Ginza for about 20 years. The interior design is a Sukiya style to reflect the chef’s personal fondness of tea ceremonies.The entire area is divided into an entrance, a private room, a counter, a table area. The design and materials were selected to differ in the nature of the space, based on the aesthetics of a traditional Japanese tea ceremony room.

For the approach from the entrance to the dining area, the light is narrowed in the entrance space with a combination of bur... More

‘Dukkeobi’ project (means ‘toad’ in Korean)   <Hey toad> Hey toad, hey toad, I'll give you an old house, give me a new house. Hey toad, hey toad, get me some water, I'll build your house.

Studio millionyears from Korea aimed to transform abandoned warehouse structures in the outskirts of Gwangju in Gyeonggi Province, Korea, into a new and vibrant space. The resulting proposal worked to maximally maintain the previous appearance of the structure that was obtained through the passage of time, while at the same time creating a space in which people can have new experiences.   On the first visit to the warehouse buildings for the project, the studio members were reminded of cactuses from the atmosphere generated by the structures. Just like cactuses that developed needles to survive in arid and barren environments, the buildings in the project site were sharp and stiff, which gradually drove people away from them.  ... More

This project is part of a wider ongoing renovation process of an historical stone house, located in the old town of Koper. House V consists of three apartments that we have named V1, V2 and V3. With a living space of only 35m2, and just one window, V1 was the first to be completed. Due to its location on the ground floor and narrow shape, we divided the apartment into two parts according to the daylight and privacy required. The bedroom, bathroom and wardrobe are pushed to the back, while the kitchen, dining and living area adjoin the window. The divisory wall between the bedroom and the rest of the apartment is designed to provide natural light at the back of the apartment while at the same time, blocking the view from the street. The in... More

This project was made for an artist and good friend who came with the intent of building a studio / gallery in the middle of the forest, 45 kilometers from the center of Mexico City and a few minutes from a town called Cruz Blanca, in Cuajimalpa.Monumental and respectful, the visible structure is placed in the thicket of the forest. Its lyrical relation with the environment encourages dialogue with the volume; a grid of columns and beams surrounding it act as a skeleton, but at the same time modulate and order space.Low budget, spaciousness, simplicity, and tranquility were the key concepts that set out clearly the priority assumptions of the project.We obtained a budget of $ 75,000 dollars for the construction of this space with a carving,...

The client wanted a painting and sculpture studio of around fifty square metres as an extension to the existing house and studio situated just a few metres away from the land to be used for the new structure.The narrowness of the plot and local regulations considerably affected the form of the building, which stretches out narrowly along the length of the meadow.its unusual shape allowed the door and window openings to be placed to give a focus on the valley and on the mountains opposite.Outside, the studio extends over a terrace that is related to its surroundings and creates a visual connection with the existing house.other rooms, such as the wood store in the basement and the small garden storage area, were added as the project developed...
