About Kitazawa Famolavolana Tontolo Iainana ho an'ny Trano Fonenana
Kitazawa dia famolavolana tontolo iainana sy toerana iombonana ho an'ny rihana ambany amin'ny trano fonenana iombonana vaovao any Setagaya-ku, Tokyo. Ny tetikasa dia mirakitra ny toerana iombonana, ny zaridaina ary ny toeram-piantsonan'ny fiara. Ny takelaka tafo avy amin'ny trano japoney taloha teo amin'ny toerana dia afangaro amin'ny terrazzo ka ampiharina amin'ny fomba fandotoana rindrina, mba hitehirizana ny endrika sy toetran'ilay toerana. Ny tany tsy nisy dalana mihoatra dia novaina ho lalana mampifandray ny sisin-dalana izay mety ho lalan-tsitrapo amin'ny fandosirana ihany koa. Nambolena indray ny hazo ary nampiana biotope misokatra misy dabilio, ho an'ny fialan-tsasatra fohy sy ny fihaonan'ny mponina sy ny mpiara-monina.

This project was a ground floor + landscape common area design for an apartment building. The planning and design focused on creating a seamless connection between the interior design and the landscape. - Design Challenge

A place for a short break where a community is born. Benches and handrails in the biotope are perfect for breaks. You can lean on it and chat with people on the way home from shopping. Put things on it for stretching when running. A resting place in a quiet residential area is where diverse people spend and talk in a variety of ways. The people will weave the future of the community and create a sense of belonging through diverse communication. - Inspiration
- Since this project was to be built in a quiet, upscale residential neighborhood, we were mindful of serving the community, not destroying the landscape, and connecting the local community to the future.
