minimalist house

'minimalist house' by japanese firm shinichi ogawa & associates is a 102 m2 single storey residence
in itoman-shi, okinawa, japan. true to its name, the house is built and laid out using a simple
grid system that divides the space in to three living quarters: one-third of the plot (18m x 3m)
is dedicated to a courtyard, another third is reserved for the bedroom, living, and dining area,
and the last third houses the study room, powder room, kitchen and entrance. each program
is laid out in a single line arrangement to make use of the long and narrow plot. a functional
wall unit which holds a variety of services such as a washroom, shower and closet is the only
formal divider in the house. the intent of the design and layout is to minimize on the division
of space as well as to create a lifestyle that is minimal and flexible.

Bardot by Jaime Hayon

Just as the curves of the human body flow into one another, the same can be said of the Bardot. The absence of distinct angles and lines permit the exterior and interior to gently merge together, creating a continuous form that allows fabric to conform to its shape, similar to the way a dress fits the body. Inspired by the feminine silhouette, Hayon wanted the sofa to “feel like a fruit, tender to the touch,” while at the same time be extremely durable “like combining the lightness and strength of a ballerina.”
“Many sofas are too big to actually use in city apartments, so I wanted to make one that looked big and felt generous, but would actually work in smaller spaces.” Even though it may have a deceivingly compact footprint, the comfortable and functional Bardot retains an impressive elegance regardless of its location.
