CASE 002

This apartment building stands near an old castle. Considering the location being in Nawate, the space was designed upon a careful investigation of the local history and culture. Symbols of crossed rope were designed and placed in multiple areas of the custom-made furniture, responding to the client’s wish to value the meaning of “Nawate” which means the crossing of rope; the interlacing of cultures, furthermore alluding to the mingling of people, and the interweaving of people with local regions.

This is one example of AREA team’s unique approach to design, leaving symbols in the space, based on careful research and analysis of each client and location.
