Photography Inspiration

M3/KG By Mount Fuji

Architects: Mount Fuji Architects Studio
Location: Meguro, Tokyo, Japan
Site area: 177.27 sqm
Building area: 106.33 sqm
Total floor area: 259.72 sqm
Project Year: 2006
Photographs: Ryota Atarashi & Satoshi Asakawa

This is a house to be built in Tokyo, for a movie producer couple.

This architecture is consisted by combining L-shaped blocks of reinforced concrete and sequential frames of box-shaped engineer-wood. We put bedrooms, film archive and galley in solid concrete part for security, and living room in engineer-wood part for openness. As material that consist an open space that is 6m in height, 5.5m in width, 14m in depth, we choose thin engineer-wood (38mmx287mm).

Main theme for this architecture is to bring out a sense of mass and material, which were denied by modern architecture which pursued “white, flat wall” as a style. We intentionally left the wood grain of mold on the surface of concrete, and choose textured stones and irons.

It goes without saying that a house is a relaxing place. A house like a white-cube, surrounded by flat, white walls everywhere, gives a person very abstract image. But that image could only be sensed when we use intellective part of our brain. The problem is that we’re not all-intellective-creature. For the people like this client, who do enough intellectual labor on a daily basis, white-cube would only bring sense of fatigue. The role of architecture, especially the ones for living, is to soothe the sensory side of people, not to stimulate the intellectual side.

House in Lille – Saison Menu Architects

French photographer Stéphane Chalmeau shared with us this 200 sqm house designed by Saison-Menu Architectes in a narrow site in Lille, France. It features a wooden first floor that merge with the exterior fence, and brown boxes-like volumes on the second floor, creating a wide terrace on top.

Here at WASF we are stunned, the interior and exterior of this house merge together beautifully. All photos are taken by Stéphane Chalmeau

Photography and Photoshop, Fabulös & Korthuggen.

So if you haven’t noticed I take loads of photos, and I work in photoshop almost everyday. But I don’t get to play around with photoshop so when I do the result vary. This is my submission for this weeks photo in the group Fabulös & Korthuggen on flickr. Every week we post a new photo, so it’s sort of a 52 week group with a new theme every week. Please visit the group and see the other entries.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but we are right now busy processing some new design. So if the site is out of order or just random, everything is working. If things looks like normal something is terrible wrong.
