© Daici AnoArchitects: nendo Location: Tokyo, Japan Construction: Loop Planning Studio Project year: 2011 Photographs: Daici Ano © Daici AnoThe interior design for the new Puma House Tokyo, located in the city’s Aoyama design district. Puma House Tokyo combines the brand’s press room and event space into one space for the first time. Puma House Tokyo is a multipurpose space that can be used for exhibitions, events, fittings, product launches and other media events. it is also available for rentals.plan© Daici AnoFor our design, we placed ‘staircases’ that climb around the existing features around the space like vines. But these staircases are not for people to climb. Rather, they function as display stands for PUMA’s sneakers and as a compositional element that gives the space a special character. The resulting effect is a strong reminder that we exercise our bodies daily going up and down stairs, and has a visual connection with stadium stairs and podiums too, to bring in PUMA’s important relationship with sports. The stairs bring a sense of movement to the interior, enabling a three-dimensional product display that fully uses its space and allows visitors to experience PUMA’s worldview.#gallery-1 {margin: auto;}#gallery-1 .gallery-item {float: left;margin-top: 10px;text-align: center;width: 33%;}#gallery-1 img {border: 2px solid #cfcfcf;}#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {margin-left: 0;}

© Nacasa & Partners Inc.Architects: Emmanuelle Moureaux Architecture + Design Location: Tokyo, Japan Project area: 762 sqm Project year: 2010 – 2011 Photographs: Nacasa & Partners Inc. © Nacasa & Partners Inc.Sugamo Shinkin Bank is a credit union that strives to provide first-rate hospitality to its customers in accordance with its motto: “we take pleasure in serving happy customers.” Having completed the design for branch outlets of Sugamo Shinkin Bank located in Tokiwadai and Niiza, we were also commissioned to handle the architectural and interior design for its newly rebuilt branch in Shimura. For this project, we sought to create a refreshing atmosphere with a palpable sense of nature based on an open sky motif.© Nacasa & Partners Inc.Upon entering the building, three elliptical skylights bathe the interior in a soft light. Visitors spontaneously look up to see a cut-out piece of the sky that invites them to gaze languidly at it. The open sky and sensation of openness prompts you to take deep breaths, refreshing your body from within.© Nacasa & Partners Inc.The ceiling is adorned with dandelion puff motifs that seem to float and drift through the air. In Europe, there is a long and cherished custom of blowing on one of these fuzzy balls while secretly making a wish. Bits of fluffy down gently dance and frolic in the air, carried by the wind.© Nacasa & Partners Inc.ATMs, teller windows, consultation booths and an open space laid out with chairs in 14 different colors are located on the first floor.The second storey houses offices, meeting rooms and a cafeteria, while the third floor is reserved for the staff changing rooms. Three long glass airwells thread through the first and second levels of the building, flooding the interior with natural light as well as “blowing” air through it.#gallery-1 {margin: auto;}#gallery-1 .gallery-item {float: left;margin-top: 10px;text-align: center;width: 33%;}#gallery-1 img {border: 2px solid #cfcfcf;}#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {margin-left: 0;}

Istanbul Sapphire / Tabanlioglu Architects | ArchDoc

© Thomas MayerArchitects: Tabanlioglu Architects / Melkan Gürsel & Murat Tabanlioglu Location: Istanbul, Turkey Project Year: 2011 Project Area: 165,169 sqm Photographs: Helene Binet, Thomas Mayer Istanbul Sapphire, the highest structures in Istanbul and Turkey, is a residential, leisure and shopping center project located in the “business administration” center of the city. The building rises in agreement with the surrounding high-rises and is still of nature-friendly facilities like vertical gardens. In addition to the comfort provided by modern technology, Istanbul Sapphire has the infrastructure and the location that will ensure easy transportation.© Thomas MayerThe building façade consists of two independent shells. The interiors are protected from adverse weather conditions and noise on account of the outer shell. This transparent shell also serves as a buffer zone between the indoor area and the outside, and has a positive effect on structural solutions.© Thomas MayerThe space created between the two shells is used as gardens and terraces of each apartment; every three floors is a component with a garden floor and two floors overlooking the gardens. Around the atrium there are nine or fewer apartments, depending on the size of each unit. Residents are living in a tower, yet have the feeling that they are sharing a 3-floor house with close neighbors. Its the same feeling t hey would have in country side or in a traditional Istanbul house, with the indoor gardens offering a natural and a warm setting for those living at higher levels.plansThe garden zone is naturally ventilated though the louvers, taking the air in at lower lever and pushing it out at the top. The louvers automatically open and close according to weather conditions and the interior temperature is always almost equal to the exterior temperature. Environmental friendly systems of the construction grant low energy consumption.© Thomas MayerIn different levels of the building, there are 187 residences of different sizes. The building is planned as 4 separate housing zones, linked with 4 common areas between the sections. Besides the inner gardens, recreation areas, such as a mini golf course with a great Bosporus view or a swimming pool overlooking the cityscape, are programmed. The buffer zones also house the maintenance and support facilities and the mechanical systems of the building.© Thomas MayerWhen viewed from the outside, the building gets slightly thinner as it rises upward. At the fourth level, it expands downwards and the glass covering the surface of the building earns a sort curve and then extends horizontally as the skirt of the building, covering the shopping facility with cafés, restaurants and stores. This area is perceived as a multi-layered, dynamic, large single space, benefiting from the natural light to the maximum extent.SectionThe basic structure of the building is composed of concrete supported by steel elements. The thin building form is supported by the two cores at the narrow ends. The vertical circulation is provided by 14 elevators, eight of which are express elevators at high speed. In addition, there are eight conveyor belts and 13 escalators. Two elevators have direct access to the observation desk on the very top floor, where the privacy of the residences are preserved by private access.© Thomas MayerBeing the highest structure in Maslak, Istanbul Sapphire claims a new way of life, relying on the opportunities of contemporary architectural and urban manner. Possessing a smart cityscape, the elegant and transparent structure contributes to the image of the city.© Thomas Mayer#gallery-1 {margin: auto;}#gallery-1 .gallery-item {float: left;margin-top: 10px;text-align: center;width: 33%;}#gallery-1 img {border: 2px solid #cfcfcf;}#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {margin-left: 0;}
