romantic minimalism - gentle brutalism

I am the constant. I am the upgrade. Everything in my world responds beautifully to me.

The Junsei House

by George Suyama

Architect George Suyama wonders if his early years in a Japanese American internment camp led to his love for simplicity. “My theory is that we had nothing there so I became obsessed with little things. I was at a camp in Idaho called Minidoka and it was a tarpaper barracks. They were long shed buildings, I don’t know how many families lived in them, you had one window and a stove area and there were curtains that separated one family from another. Maybe because there was nothing there that I wanted to make everything as simple as I could.“ For five years, he and his wife lived in a tiny 500-square-foot fishing shack in West Seattle. When they bought the narrow lot next door, they wanted to recapture that simplicity. Determined not to remove a single tree, Suyama designed a home 18-feet-wide. To reduce the visual noise of the home the walls, roof, ceiling, floor are all one color (matching the surrounding trees). The only exception is a white box that runs nearly the length of the home which houses the service elements- kitchen, bathroom, stairs and bedroom- and a loft. (Kirsten Dirksen)

돌은 묵직했고 나무는 따뜻했고 쇠는 시크했다

자연이 준 가장 원초적인 재료들 이 세가지는 이미 완성되어 있다.

좋은 재료를 사용할수록 디테일은 더 중요해진다.

하지만 존재감이 드러나면 안된다.

디테일은 보여주기 위한 것이 아니라 재료를 선명하게 드러내고, 공간을 조화롭게 만드는 수단이다.

만듦새, 비율, 여밷

보이지 않는 한 끗이 쌓여 공간의 완성도를 결정한다.

좋은 공간은 티가 나질 않는다.

하지만 감도는 느낄 수 있다.

Pentagonal concrete columns cast in brown-mauve pigment, each profile forming the silhouette of a house. The columns carry deep horizontal floor plates, externalizing the structure across the facade.

Inside, bronze-framed glass enclosures, terrazzo floors, and egg-crate metal ceilings.

The intervention works within the existing structure, using a restrained palette of stainless steel, fabric wall panelling and mineral paint.
