I ahu mai te hoahoa i ngā poraka puāwai, arā, ko ngā wae raima whai tauira kōwhaowhao āhua ā-ine e whakamahia ana i te hoahoanga whare o Okinawa, e tātari ana i te hihi kaha o te rā me te tuku i te hau kia rere. Ko ngā āputa i waengu i ngā pouaka e whakaāhua ana i te whata kia māmā, kia tuwhera hoki te āhua. Ka honoa ngā pouaka e ngā rākau tira kōwhao-kore kia pūmau ai, ka tautokona ngā wāhi kawe taumaha e te rākau white ash mārō, ā, ka whakamāmā te papa rākau whakapiri i te taumaha katoa. Kāore he papa tuarā o te whata, nō reira ka taea te whakanoho ki te pātū, ki waenganui rānei o te rūma.

I Muri i te Hoahoa
Kete Pāpāho
Ngā whakamihi, ngā mema o te rōpū me ngā taipitopito hangarau i whakaratohia e te kaihoahoa.
- Āhuatanga Motuhake
- This shelf deliberately leaves space between boxes, creating an overall cool and light impression. Light and air pass through the gaps, reducing visual pressure and creating a pleasant sense of openness in the space. Its open, airy presence, reminiscent of Okinawa's climate, evokes a refreshing feel even in hot seasons, bringing a gentle rhythm to the room it occupies. It is a design that considers not only functionality but also visual coolness.

- Hangarau Whakanao
- Stainless steel rods connect the boxes, ensuring durability and stability. The surfaces where these rods are inserted utilize solid white ash wood for its superior strength, providing robust support to load-bearing areas. Meanwhile, plywood is used for other sections to achieve overall weight reduction.
- Wero Hoahoa
- To make the structure viable, we went through numerous trials and errors. Ensuring sufficient strength and stability proved particularly challenging. However, increasing strength inevitably added weight, so we also struggled to balance robustness with lightness.
- Rangahau
- We conducted a durability test to verify how much weight the two stainless steel rods can withstand.
- Whakaaweawe
- This shelf was designed inspired by Flower Blocks widely used in the architecture of my hometown, Okinawa. Flower Blocks are concrete blocks featuring geometric openwork patterns. They possess the characteristic of blocking strong sunlight while allowing pleasant breezes to pass through, combining practicality and decorative appeal. I focused on this functional beauty and incorporated a structure conscious of pathways for light and wind into the shelf's design.
- Roanga o te Kaupapa
- The project commenced in Okinawa in April 2025.
- Rerenga Mahi
- This shelving unit is intentionally designed without a back panel, allowing it to serve not only as storage furniture but also as a partition that gently divides a room. By not completely blocking sightlines or light, it maintains an open feel while enabling zoning according to purpose. Another key feature is its flexibility in placement it can be installed not only against walls but also in the center of a room or near windows. It adapts flexibly to changes in lifestyle and spatial usage.
