Aesop Shibuya是位于日本东京的极简主义内饰,由Torafu Architects设计。它位于明治大道一栋建筑的一楼,面积为7米,深度为12米。设计师想到了一个基础和完成共存的空间,从涩谷的气氛中获得启发,涩谷每天都在不断变化,新旧混合在一起。拆除现有的内部空间,揭示了一个具有反复修复迹象的混凝土骨架空间。在使用空间的同时,通过利用柜台的大小包围商店内部,以大型水槽和墙壁侧的产品架为中心的环形交叉计划组织成分层的画廊。固定装置的木制部件完全使用国产栗木,因为它们的目的是为了获得高品质家具的装饰,他们委托家具制造商Karimoku来处理生产。
与那些与客户接触的零件相比,这些零件完成了平滑的细节,使人们想要爱抚它们,那些不与客户接触的零件有一个暴露的框架,如尚未生产的未完成的家具。包括框架在内,他们使用钢材料为水槽和外墙提供耐腐蚀的熔融锌涂层,并使金属配件中的材料感觉统一。至于地板,Torafu只在客户走路的区域在现有的混凝土地板上铺上羊绒地毯,当人们从坚硬的路面进入商店时,从脚部开始给人一种柔软的印象。长凳弯曲在窗户边的角落,创造了一个私密的空间,旁边有一个水槽。作为街道商店的面孔,外立面设计为通过添加屋檐来继承现有环境,这些屋檐似乎重复了应用于隔壁建筑入口的拱形门。好像是为了应对涩谷的不断更新,他们的目的是创造一个在新旧之间具有动态对比的商店空间。
Aesop Shibuya is a minimalist interior located in Tokyo, Japan, designed by Torafu Architects. It occupies the first floor of a building along Meiji Avenue and features a space with a frontage of 7m and depth of 12m. The designers thought of a space where foundation and finish would coexist, taking a cue from the atmosphere of Shibuya, which continues to change every day and where old and new mix together. Taking apart the existing interior revealed a concrete skeleton space with signs of repeated repairs. While using the space as it is, a roundabout plan centered on a large sink and product shelves on the wall side organized like a tiered gallery by exploiting the size of the counter encompass the store interior. The wooden parts of fixtures use entirely domestically produced chestnut wood, and since they aimed for a finish like that of high-quality furniture, they commissioned the furniture maker Karimoku to handle production.
In contrast with the parts that would be in contact with customers which were finished with smooth details that make one want to caress them, the parts that wouldn’t be in contact with customers have an exposed framework like unfinished furniture that is still in production. Including the framework, they used steel materials to give the sink and fa?ade a corrosive-resistant molten zinc coating and impart unity to the feel of the materials in the metal fittings. As for the floor, Torafu spread a cashmere carpet on the existing concrete floor only in areas where customers would walk to give an impression of softness starting at the feet whenever people enter the store from the hard road surface. The bench curves as stroking the corner at the window side and creates an intimate space with a sink set aside. Serving as the face of the street-level store, the fa?ade was designed to inherit the existing environment by adding eaves that appear to repeat the arch-shaped gate applied to the entrance of the next-door building. As though in response to the continuous renewal of Shibuya, they aimed to create a store space that possessed a dynamic contrast between the old and the new.
