Restaurant Niko / URBANODE arquitetura

Niko is a small Japanese restaurant, between tradition and the future. It was up to architecture to give materiality to this contradiction. On the one hand, it refers to street commerce, the lights, the signs, and the colors in contrast with the city's concrete. On the other hand, offering dynamics through technological possibilities, projecting what this business would be like in the encounter of different times.

The project's program was simple: the main room (table, stretcher and small exercise area) and a waiting room. The client wanted the office to have good sound insulation, so we needed to have both rooms compartmentalized. We lengthened the waiting room from the entrance until we reached the limit for the forecast of a receptionist's table.

In general, when we are hired to design a small office space, we seek to bring the steady program together. Sometimes we propose 1 or 2 volumes that are multifaceted and help in solving the program in general. In the case of this physiotherapy and osteopathy practice, we did not need considerable space for storage, so the most important was to propose free areas and fluidity (as a more abstract concept).

A project, even an interior design, needs its maturing time. A clear conversation with clients is needed to understand what may be safeguarded from the initial demand. When the clients came to us, the idea was to make an opening on the kitchen wall, as the door of the washing machine opened with difficulty. However, from the initial contact until the beginning of the renovation, almost a year passed and there was enough time to understand the dynamics of the family.

C52 House / URBANODE arquitetura

When we received the demand, one of the first things we thought about was: let’s get away of the classic tipology of the exposed house, so massively used in the condominiums of the region – with from top to bottom glazing and a two-story high ceiling. The idea was that the house kept the privacy preserved and then, in the social lounge, opened to the deck in the backyard. With the same premise in mind, we came up with another project attitudes that guided us, as raising the ground floor 50cm to avoid that the parked vehicle was seen from the living room window, and, with this, the main access would be made by a minimum slope ramp, protecting the pushed back entrance door. We also had attention with the size of the windows, for privacy reasons, since the lots are narrows and the neighbors can have their openings 1,5m from the border.
