DESIGN NAME: Obori Soma Ware Matsunaga Kiln
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Shop and Atelier
INSPIRATION: In this project, a top light is installed at the top of the house. The top light brings plenty of light to the interior space. In the store, it expresses precise and vivid colors, and in the workshop, where delicate work is required, gentle and uniform light pours in through the shoji screens on the ceiling with high illumination. The top light above the checkout counter functions as a light that changes the impression of the back of the counter.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Matsunaga Kiln was located in Fukushima, Japan, producing the designated traditional crafts with more than 300 years of history.
One proprietary feature of Obori Soma Ware is its double-layered structure, which enables this daily-use ceramics to hold boiling water and prevents it from cooling down.
We wanted to incorporate and express this feature in our architecture.
We believe that the different scales of architecture and ceramics, in the same composition, influence each other.
