ARCHITECTURE / STUDIO
深澤直人工作室坐落在河畔,一到春天,窗外便被盛開的櫻花染上一片柔美色彩。建築本體以簡潔的白色立面與俐落的窗框構成,靜靜佇立於巷弄中,展現出低調卻堅定的存在感。空間設計延續了深澤直人一貫的哲學:去除多餘裝飾,讓物件與空間自然融入日常生活。室內以黑、白、棕為基調,搭配木質家具與金屬燈具,營造出寧靜而有溫度的氛圍。餐區擺放著他親自設計的 Hiroshima High Chair,低調卻富有質感。而最令人印象深刻的,是那座如緞帶般盤旋而上的黑色螺旋梯,從地下室一路延伸至二樓,不僅在視覺上極具張力,也體現了「無意識」的動線設計思維。在這裡,設計不喧嘩,卻始終存在,像空氣一樣自然、不可或缺。
Naoto Fukasawa’s studio is nestled beside a river, where in spring, the view outside the window is gently tinted with blooming cherry blossoms. The building features a minimalist white façade and clean-lined windows, standing quietly within a narrow alley—unassuming, yet with a strong sense of presence. The interior continues Fukasawa’s signature philosophy: stripping away excess decoration so that objects and space naturally integrate into everyday life. The palette is composed of black, white, and brown tones, paired with wooden furniture and metal lighting to create a calm yet inviting atmosphere. In the dining area sits his own Hiroshima High Chair—understated, yet rich in texture and design. The most striking element is the black spiral staircase that winds upward like a ribbon from the basement to the second floor. Visually dramatic, it also reflects his concept of “design without thought,” creating an intuitive flow through the space. Here, design doesn’t speak loudly—it simply exists, like air: natural, essential, and quietly ever-present.
Designer: Naoto Fukasawa
This simple, square, clean, and orderly window arrangement is one of my favorite designs.
Naoto Fukasawa’s renowned work, the “Hiroshima Chair,” continues his tradition of subtractive design, which emphasizes the user’s intuition. This design approach restores the essence of a simple wooden chair.
Multiple windows, neatly arranged to follow the path of the sunlight, bring warm afternoon light into the room, keeping it bright until nightfall, even without turning on the lights.
Step outside your door to see a creek flanked by beautiful cherry trees, offering a serene and picturesque view both from your doorstep and through the windows.
The main vision of the entire space is a beautiful spiral staircase like a ribbon. The beautiful curves dilute the cold feeling of steel.
