A dull commission: a bland office space was to be reinvented. Previous partitions were demolished and layers of plaster were peeled off from the centered concrete columns. Two convoluted surfaces are introduced—one becomes a dividing wall, the other makes a new ceiling. The complex intersection is carefully measured and calibrated. Secondary programs find their places behind the stepped surface. Doors are proudly present, while the floor is proudly cheap. The blue wavy ceiling is populated by an even grid of minase lamps, suggesting references from another time and place. Beams of light are reflected on a multitude of broken surfaces. The space gleams and reverberates.

トラフ建築設計事務所が設計した、岐阜・不破郡のショールーム「関ヶ原石材 Strad. Stone Gallery」です。
石材企業の為に計画された天然石の展示施設です。建築家は、多彩な表情を持つ石を“鑑賞”する場として、体験の中で“原石から製品へと加工される過程”を想起させる空間を考案しました。また、加工場と直結し調達・加工・施工も集約されています。施主企業の公式サイトはこちら。
