Hair Atelier Bruno / Yuji Tanabe Architects

Hana Abdel — Sat, 17 Jul 2021 21:00:00 +0000

Designing between landscape and interior - The hair salon we designed is located on the Ground floor of a 34-year-old building, which is a 5-story building with a steel flamed structure, facing the slope near Atami City Hall in Shizuoka Prefecture. Atami City is famous for its hot springs. The site adjacent to the south side (lower side) is a public facility planning site facing the intersection, but it is very open because no building has been built now. So, this building gets a lot of sightlines(even though it does not face the intersection). Also, even if public facilities are built in the future, we considered that it is unlikely the building will be built near the boundary because it is a vast site.

As he liked the system of Pettanco House 1, we decided to customize it. All to be achieved within the constraints of an efficient budget, so we kept a low height and simple shape in mind.

Corona Electric Head Office and Factory / Sachie Isaka of bews + Yuji Tanabe Architects

Jonathan Alarcón — Thu, 11 Jul 2013 00:00:00 +0000

About 1 hour north of Tokyo by express train is a factory built in 50 years ago in Ibaraki Prefecture. It was damaged by the Great East Japan Earthquake and they wanted me to come to see the plant. When I went to the site just one month after the earthquake, the third floor penthouse was damaged as well as the large canopy that was built in 1950’s that had been a landmark in the site. The Factory was a two-story concrete structure that had supported the economic recovery of the city after World War II in the 1960s. In 1961 (when there was no ready-mixed concrete plant) the 7m cantilevered concrete canopy was made in the field. I was elated to see this daring example of post-war reconstruction created by the president of the company; this adventurous experiment clearly transmitted the spirit and tenacity of the corporation.

Armadillo / Yuji Tanabe Architects

Jonathan Alarcón — Thu, 16 May 2013 00:00:00 +0000

Armadillo is located in Kamakura, Japan. With the sea to one side and the other 3 surrounded by mountains, this town’s topography provides ideal protection from enemy. This feature led Kamakura to become the political centre of Japan in the 12th century. This site is located in a valley with a very narrow approach road ,so the carpenter was required to fabricate off-site at their workshop. The clients- a couple,her father,two dogs and a cat - bought the site with its old house four years ago. The existing house was built in the 1930s and enlarged 35years ago(this existing house do not satisfy the present earthquake-resistant standards).
