About Ideareve Ikegami Sala de Música

Ideareve Ikegami é unha sala de música e edificio de uso mixto en Ikegami, Ota-ku, Tokio, Xapón. A estrutura de formigón armado de catro plantas ten dez metros de altura. O edificio contén unha sala de música cun auditorio, salas de ensaio, vivendas de aluguer insonorizadas e un ático. Un vestíbulo e un foyer forman unha zona de circulación que une o interior e o exterior. Tres paredes diagonais de aceiro inoxidable de cor latón dan forma ao foyer, e uns reflectores acústicos revisten a sala. O volume xeométrico evoca a paisaxe montañosa ao pé do templo Ikegami Honmonji.

Unique Properties: The mandate was to design a facility where residents can gather and study music in a variety of hybrid spaces. The reinforced concrete structure was designed to accommodate a music hall, practice rooms, soundproofed residential rental units, and a penthouse. The music hall and its auditorium occupies a strategic place. Entered via a vestibule and foyer it creates a circulation zone that blurs the lines between the hills of the external landscape and the vibe of creativity that awaits inside.
Dimensions & Packaging: Building Height: 10M
Number of Floors: 4 Stories
Tags: Architecture, Music, Hall, Concrete, Japanese, Design
Production Technology: The building is a reinforced concrete structure. All rental residential units have a soundproof living room. The foyer is embraced by three brass-coloured, stainless steel diagonal walls, and the interior of the hall is encased in acoustic reflectors, with large walls that collectively form an abstract diagonal shape.
Design Challenge: The challenge was to solve the problem of providing privacy while opening up music activities to the community in a historically and culturally significant location. We addressed this challenge by creating a circulation space that crosses both the interior and exterior, while also pursuing a building form that symbolizes musical rhythm.
Research: Ikegami Honmonji is one of the most important temples of the Nichiren sect, dating back to the 13th century, and its history spans many years. Our task was to create a new community space that coexists with the cultural heritage at the foot of the temple. We sought to explore a new program facility where residents can continue to live while practicing, appreciating, and receiving music lessons, and also have the opportunity to present their music.
Inspiration: What inspired this design most is the unique location at the foot of Ikegami Honmonji temple and the surrounding hilly landscape. This inspired us to incorporate a mountainous topography effect into the geometrical volume of the building.
Project Duration: Location:Ikegami, Ota-ku,Tokyo, Japan
The project started in October 2017 and Completed in May 2021
Operation Flow: Ideareve Ikegami is a facility where the town community can gather and study music in a variety of hybrid spaces. Residents of sound-proofed rental homes are able to practice their music skills without worries for the sound-leaking. The music hall and all the common spaces are eligible for music performances. In Ideareve Ikegami residents and the town, community can freely express their creativity.
