Template in Claska

Another great piece by Torafu Architects; the renovation of 3 rooms in the boutique hotel, CLASKA. Reminds me of one of those doll houses where every object has a designated location. This is actually a perfect solution for hotel rooms because so often people carry more stuff the the room accommodates, and belongings end up strewn across tables and floors.

Boolian by Torafu Architects

Up-and-coming architect firm Torafu, comprised of Koichi Suzuno and Shinya Kamuro, took first place in the Creators Colosseum Space Awards for their design of a cafe in Tokyo University’s Graduate School of Medicine.

You don’t really get a sense from the pictures, but I would imagine that the circular cutouts serve as some interesting frames of the environment.
