About Jingumae Project, Tokyo Japan Yaşayış Interyer Dizaynı

Jingumae Layihəsi Tokionun Harajuku rayonunda, Togo Ziyarətgahına baxan mənzilin renovasiya layihəsidir. L-şəkilli planlaşdırma iki mənzili birləşdirir, əyri divarlar və tavanlar isə ev daxilində hərəkəti asanlaşdırır. Şabalıd ağacı, daş və əl üfürməsi ilə hazırlanmış şüşə minimal səth işlənməsi ilə istifadə olunur, bu da təbii dokuların görünən qalmasına imkan verir. Sürgülü qapılar və digər əyri elementlər bütöv taxta parçalarından yonulmuşdur. Parket döşəmə və qapı detalları ənənəvi yapon barmaqlıq naxışlarını xatırladır. Torpaq tonları isə şəhər həyatı üçün sakit və zərif bir mühit yaradır.

Unique Properties
This apartment renovation facing Togo Shrine in Harajuku blends natural materials to create a modern East-meets-West design inspired by Taisho-era aesthetics. The L-shaped layout merges two units, with curved walls and ceilings enhancing flow. Materials like chestnut wood, stone, and hand-blown glass emphasize sustainability and craftsmanship. Earthy tones and natural accents create a serene yet elegant atmosphere, offering a new model for urban living that harmonizes nature and modern life.

Production Technology
The sliding doors are crafted using a technique called sumimaru-gōshi, where the lattice is carved from a single piece of solid wood. Instead of attaching separately rounded pieces, the curves are directly shaped from one block of wood. This method achieves a simple yet elegant and softly refined impression.
Similarly, for other wooden elements, the curved (R-shaped) forms are also created by carving from single pieces of solid wood as much as possible, ensuring a sense of cohesion throughout the space.
Design Challenge
Since this project began during the unprecedented time of the COVID-19 pandemic, sourcing materials, furniture, and fixtures took far longer than expected. However, this situation allowed us to secure time for deep discussions with the client about fundamental questions: What truly makes a home livable? What defines comfort? As a result, the project became a kind of antithesis to the prevailing trend of prioritizing economic efficiency, prompting everyone involved to reconsider the essence of their work.
Research
We were asked to reconsider the standard interior and architectural modules to ensure the client could live comfortably. Through discussions, we carefully reviewed factors such as circulation widths, dimensions at corners, and the overall flow of daily life. As a result, some areas required more generous spatial allowances than usual. However, upon completion, the client expressed great satisfaction, feeling that the space had become a truly unique environment tailored specifically for them.
Inspiration
We created a space that feels in harmony with nature, as if bringing the serene environment and greenery of the shrine into the interior. Specifically, surface treatments were kept to a minimum to highlight the natural textures of the materials. Inspired by traditional Japanese lattice doors and patterns, these design elements are reflected in the parquet flooring and door detailing.
Project Duration
The project started in October 2022 and finished in November 2024.
