Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture
Benches & stairs & gates
The building has the appearance of a historic building, yet everything is modern and well-calculated. The project involved a property with a unique presence and an appearance that blends in with its surroundings, yet is the ultimate in modern Japanese style. We worked on the gates, stairs, railings, benches, and other items that are used every day in everyday life, and that were designed to harmonize with the overall appearance of the property. In this project, the design is characterized by a somewhat retro and modern look.
Wood, Metal and Design
The stair railing is particularly impressive in this property. The unique design and materiality, the flowing form, and the use of metal materials are very beautiful, and the stair railing boasts a wonderful presence despite its clean shape. As a remodeling project for a historic house, the specifications were designed to maximize the existing taste of the house, which was a great learning experience for us. The processing work was very challenging, with the rather slender steel and the curvature of the final finish, but we felt that it was a project that was a true testament to our craftsmanship. The presence of the product when it was installed in the house was magnificent and made us proud.
A nudge to the bench.
The presence of metal as a point of interest can tighten the overall impression of a house or bring a sense of authenticity to an item such as a little bench. In addition to the benefits of metal, such as longevity and the ability to maintain design, it can also exude a bit of the homeowner's intent. In this project, the components have distinct roles, and we paid attention to both durability and design. The walls are made of stone, the floor is made of tile, the back of the bench is made of wood, and the bench is made of steel with a special surface treatment that gives it a stone-like appearance.
