White and Steel is a design for Toshin Satellite Preparatory School in Nagata Ward, Kobe City, Japan. The school wanted a new reception and office including meetings and consultation spaces. This minimalistic design uses contrast between white and a metal plate called Black Skin Iron to stimulate human senses in various aspects. All textures were uniformly painted white generating an inorganic space. The Black Skin Iron was later applied to several surfaces to make the contrast or displayed in the same way contemporary art Galleries would display their art pieces.
