STROLLING THROUGH THE CLOUDS

If you have ever wondered what it might be like to stroll among clouds, this collection of photographs was compiled by Zoya Photography and was provided by Takumi Ota. An astounding and surreal peek of this experience may be seen in a recent interior design project that was created using the Sasaki architecture of Japan. Under the direction of architect Ryuichi Sasaki, the group has recently redesigned a low-ceiling warehouse in Tokyo in a way that has never been seen before. It was the intention of the remodeling project to open up the space in the attic of a warehouse building that had a low ceiling height of 2.1 meters and only 1.7 meters beneath the beams, which resulted in an oppressive sensation in the area. The floor area and ceiling of around 195 square meters have been treated with concrete, and the walls have been covered with plaster board and paint. The architect has opened up the space by constructing floating pillars and walls, all of which have been painted white colour. As a result of the pillars and beans surrounding the area as if they were floating white walls, the light intensifies the perception of these “floating” walls, which in turn creates the sensation of strolling among “wall clouds.” The space has a three-dimensional effect, which is further enhanced by the use of glass partitions that section out the layout, adding on to the illusion and creating a seamless feel. Additionally, the space is similar to a maze of floating pillars, which at the same time draw attention to the ceiling and yet alleviate the claustrophobic feeling it generated up until this point. Additionally, the beams and other components are rethought as distinct spatial components, and their roles within the space are rethought as well. Walls that are suspended from the ceiling in the entry lounge may be used as shelves or counter workstations. The whole area is visually separated into two primary zones: one is located near to the entry lounge, which visually creates a feeling of oneness and openness, and the other is located in the rear, which consists of a single space, where all of the walls are floating. A place that was oppressive, which presented challenges to space planners, and which was waiting for a transformative master stroke has now been regenerated into a work area and lounge that is stunning, pleasant, and vibrant.
