莫德利亚布鲁特神乐坂

该建筑位于东京市中心的一个住宅区，周围既有古老的寺庙也有现代化住宅。Kagurazaka slope是该地区的主要商业街，以其数百年的文化历史而闻名。Roji则是从主街划分出来的狭窄小巷，有许多隐藏的魅力。设计团队一直在思考，什么样的集合住宅才能更好地适应这里丰富的人文地理环境。

▼项目概览，overview

This building is located in a residential area in the heart of Tokyo amid a mixture of old temples and modern houses. Kagurazaka slope, the area’s main market street, is known for its centuries-long cultural history. Roji, narrow alleys with a lot of hidden charm, branch from the main street. We attempted to determine what design of collective housing would fit into the area’s rich context.

▼建筑正立面，the front facade

房屋门前的台阶平缓下降，许多细微的差别让人不禁好奇这里旧时的模样。整条小道由日式屋顶瓦片铺就，一旁的镂空墙则由混凝土板建造而成。在晚上，这里充满了从墙上的矩形木框玻璃窗透进来的静谧灯光。

▼小巷旁有一堵镂空墙将住宅与其他建筑隔开，a hollow wall off the alley separates the house from the rest of the building

The gently stepped approach to the building is full of nuances that remind us of how the symbolic slope looked in the old days. The approach is finished with Japanese roof tiles and the walls are lined with board formed concrete. At night, the alley is filled with tranquil lights filtering through square wooden frames within the wall.

外立面由露石混凝土构成，采用方形开口为房屋提供独特的遮阳效果。开口从建筑表面略微凹陷，有木质纹理镶边。窗口间的布置遵循着轻微的变化规律，在避免阳光直射的同时，还能保证通风。设计团队还试图通过这种布置来减轻建筑的重量。

The facade, finished with fine exposed concrete, is given characteristic shade using square openings. The openings are recessed slightly from the surface and are bordered with wooden textures. The arrangement of the opening is shifted slightly to avoid direct views while taking light, air and the view. With this arrangement of openings, we also attempted to reduce the massive wight of the concrete.

室内展示出了生动而精致的材料对比，墙壁采用了纯白或混凝土的饰面。胡桃木的广泛运用也是该住宅的一大特色：用胡桃木家具的废料制成的地脚线板；有别致质感的鞋柜；厨房中胡桃木与不锈钢的平衡对比等。每个房间的空间都呈现出意想不到的形状和氛围，反映出所处社区错综复杂的文化地理环境。室内设计还有意识地激发居民的生活理念，例如开放的存储空间也可同时用作紧凑的书房。

The interior shows a vivid but exquisitely simple contrast of materials. Walls are either plain white or finished with exposed concrete. There are also walnut accents: base boards made from offcuts from walnut furniture, shoe boxes have a chic texture and kitchens feature a balanced contrast of walnut and stainless steel. Each room’s space takes on unexpectedly diverse shapes with different atmospheres reflecting the town’s intricate depth. The interiors were consciously designed to stimulate the residents’ ideas for living. For example, open storage spaces can also be used as compact dens.

这种通过材料和空间来发挥作用的极简设计，倡导了一种不依赖于物质，努力追求精神财富的生活。毕竟，极简主义也是美好生活方式的一种。

By this minimalistic design of collective housing with materials and space at play, we suggest a life not reliant on products, and wealth without possession. Minimalism is in direct connection with the way of living.
