sschemata


sschemata are very interesting. above is 63.02 degrees - the facade of this building in a dense residential area is inclined 63.02 degrees from the road. a really nice custom response to the site, it allows a wide view of 'borrowed scenery' like the neighbour's cherry tree.

images below are from the
sayama flat project. their 'de-construction' design process for this was subtraction, or stripping off what was unnecessary without addition; a concept that was a response to a slowing japanese economy that is resulting in many unused spaces. the recent sschemata project paco in a box is also great, and at end is one of their furniture design pieces, flat table.

  2. hi kate, i am glad you like them - it is really great hey? i like the stripped back super simple interior - it sits so well with the fusuma (sliding doors) and the clean tatami room.

  3. Thanks so much for the tip! I'll be sure to visit Kanga Kanga, it sounds great. Melbourne is full of little gems like that.
    These are beautiful. I love the simplicity of Japanese design and the ideas behind it. :)

  4. hi windy! you are welcome - kanga kanga is a great resource for kinokuniya deprived melbournites:) AND if enough people come in asking for ku:nel, or come home or other lovelies, then maybe he will stock them rather than on subscription - we can only dream!~
