项目坐落于东京板桥区某住宅/购物区的拱廊尽头。场地周边有很多小住宅与有趣的小店铺，整体氛围宁静安详且充满怀旧之感。春天的时候，竹井河畔到处都是赏花的游人。建筑的形态由场地边界生成，它静静地伫立于后巷，完美融入于社区环境之中。作为一个小型的会员制音乐沙龙，Maly Koncert音乐厅既要保证与大型音乐厅相媲美的室内音质，同时也要考虑到噪音的问题，使音乐厅在密集的城市环境中做到不扰民。场地呈不规则的旗杆状，人流从“杆”状的通道进入建筑，而后自然地汇入室内的交通流线。此外，建筑内还设置了一个附属房间，以集成各种功能设施，如音响设备等。

The site is located at the end of an arcade leading from a quiet residential / shopping district in Itabashi-Ku, Tokyo. The surrounding area is very nostalgic, has many houses and small shops. In springtime, the Shakujii River is filled with people to see Sakura blossom. The architecture shape is formed by the shape of the site and merged into the neighborhood, standing quietly in the back alley. When planning a small membership-based music salon, you need to ensure the sound quality is the same as a large-scale music hall and, set a high noise control for the dense neighborhood. Natural circulation is created with the irregular flagpole-shaped site, entering the space from a “rod” shaped part of the site, and flows into it. The plan was to lift an attached room that integrates various functions such as sound equipment.

乐器具有普遍的美，精致的音调与音乐家的演奏姿态将这种美进一步地升华。音乐厅作为表演的背景，其质朴的原材料与粗犷的纹理将人们的视线聚焦于演奏者身上，使人们自然而然地沉浸于音乐之中。现代的气息与古典的神韵在建筑中完美融合，如同一件优雅的乐器，音质会随着时间的推移越加深邃。

A musical instrument has universal beauty, and it is contrasted with the delicate sound and player’s action. Musical instruments have universal beauty, contrast with delicate tones, and performers’ actions. Space was constructed based on powerful and raw materials. The material helps to create a natural focal point on the musician and their performance. Aiming for an instrument-like space, that gets deeper over time; intended for modern classic architecture.
