The Design
About Jingumae Project, Tokyo Japan 주거 인테리어 디자인
진구마에 프로젝트는 도쿄 하라주쿠에 위치하며 도고 신사를 마주하는 아파트 리노베이션이다. L자형 평면은 두 세대를 하나로 통합하며, 곡선형 벽체와 천장이 집 안의 동선을 개선한다. 밤나무 목재, 석재, 수공예 블로운 글라스를 최소한의 표면 마감으로 사용하여 자연 그대로의 질감이 그대로 드러난다. 미닫이문을 비롯한 곡선 요소들은 하나의 원목 덩어리에서 깎아 만들었다. 쪽매널 바닥과 문의 디테일은 일본 전통 격자 문양을 연상시킨다. 흙빛 색조는 도시 생활을 위한 차분하고 우아한 분위기를 완성한다.

- 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
