House of Depth / FORM | Kouichi Kimura

Nice.. has a very clean-cut, minimalist feel to it that works. It seems a relaxing, dimly lit house.

odris please come back

odris i love you

In looking at this work (and other work from this studio) there are clear notes that recall Carlo Scarpa to my eye, particularly in the extremely fine juxtaposition of plane and color to delineate spatial composition.

The fact that this is project is so solidly anchored and yet delicate and light I find really inspring. It is in this tension of delicacy and strength that the whole composition takes off.

It doesn’t hurt that there is disciplined architectural photography of this caliber. I have rarely seen the equivalent of Mr. Oka’s work amongst modern architectural photographers. There are strong overtones of the purity and force of Marvin Rand’s very best work in what I see in these photographs.

The ubiquity of image in our culture robs us the ability to differentiate good images from mediocre ones. This is particularly obvious in shelter publications that really no longer even make much of an effort to acquire quality photography. However, what no one can take away is the difference between art and snapping a picture. The difference is so obvious it is like being hit with a hammer.

Compliments on a great house and on a terrific artistic collaboration in its presentation.
