The Akasaka Morandi I apartment in Tokyo creatively integrates storage into its architecture, making it the focal point rather than a background element. Designed by APOLLO Architects & Associates and Nicola Gallizia, the cabinetry serves multiple functions as an exhibition space, room divider, and guide for movement throughout the layout. The design reflects Japanese principles of spatial transition while utilizing materials like natural oak and brass to create a sense of warm elegance. This innovative approach celebrates the essential function of storage in a refined and artistic manner.
Storage modules are arguably the essence of the Molteni brand, and here they become something more profound - the "core" of the architectural experience itself.
The cabinetry becomes both gallery wall and spatial delineator, creating a warm canvas for display while dark oak ceiling panels establish a powerful contrast.
This choreography of movement resonates with traditional Japanese architectural elements - particularly the delicate transitions created by shoji screens and paper dividers.
These materials bring a distinctly Italian sense of controlled luxury to the space without overwhelming its essential tranquility.
