Project Description

It is a renovation of a resort condominium built on Izusan in the north of the city area of Atami that overlooks islands such as Hatsushima Island and Izu Oshima Island floating in Suruga Bay.

The client’s request was that they wanted to spend time relaxing looking at the sea in an atmosphere different from everyday life. In order to enjoy the view from the large opening that is the feature of this unit from anywhere in the room, we removed all the partition walls that can be removed such as the existing Japanese-style room and kitchen, and secured the area of living dining to the maximum. And we arranged sofa, dining, kitchen in order from the window side, and it was considered as layout not to interrupt eyes to window from each.

The interior of the room is monotonous so that the view from the window is outstanding, but the wall is a natural wood veneer of stained natural wood. Large format tiles with metallic texture on the floor. And it is composed of materials with distinctive texture such as lacquered table top. In addition to directing the sense of depth toward the window by using the lighting mainly based on indirect light, we are devising to highlight each texture.

A table with a stainless steel frame and a lacquered top, an island kitchen with stainless steel planks is our original design.
