The article describes a collaboration between Molteni and architect Nicola Gallizia to design a 185-square-meter upper-floor residential space in Tokyo's Akasaka neighborhood. The design centers around Molteni's storage modules, which are integrated into the architectural structure, enhancing both functionality and aesthetics. Natural materials, contrasting elements, and artful detailing create a luxurious ambiance, while the modules serve as spatial dividers that guide movement throughout the space. This approach reflects Japanese design principles, offering a blend of elegance and practicality, making the residential area both inviting and sophisticated.
The combination of natural Sunrise Oak doors on the storage modules and dark oak ceiling panels creates a sense of sharp contrast within the space.
The modules themselves become a spatial divider, determining the flow of movement-from the public to the private areas, directing the spatial narrative.
As one moves through the space alongside the storage elements, a sequence unfolds, echoing Japanese elements like sliding shoji panels.
Molteni's high-quality craftsmanship and minimalist design are emphasized through a seamless array of storage modules that serve as the core of the architecture.
