This major elements of this design are huge Z-shape concrete support and small glass windows that cover most of the building. The concept is to highlight the contrast of these two parts:  big vs small, transparent vs opaque, white vs black, glass vs concrete etc.

Shinya Kimura's studio occupies both first and second floor, with a lounge and a room on the first floor level and another two rooms on the second floor. Both levels are directly connected to the show room on the ground floor by two individual stairs.

A long stair connects the lounge to the show room, and this stair is constructed with timber boxes and concrete panels. Two different materials are alternate used on each step and shows varying colours.

Through another colourful round stair, one of the two rooms on the second floor can be accessed. The steps on the round stair are made of wood and glass material, and there is a lamp in each glass step which lights up when it gets dark. Seeing from the top, the stair shows a beautiful view with three circles and three bright colours.

 

Going down the stair there is the underground section, whose main style is using a lot timber pieces with different shapes and colours. A work place and a living room is placed in this section, which are located on two different levels.
