House in Komone

This is a renovation project of a vintage condominium in Itabashi, Tokyo. We created the plan without drastic floor plan changes, preserving the advantages of the existing plan, in which each room is accessed from a hallway located in the center of the unit. In contrast to the bright rooms, the hallway is finished in mahogany wood, creating a dark space like a tunnel or a library. The contrast between the light and dark spaces complement each other in this house.
