项目 – Material Waltz是一处位于东京世田谷的公寓改造项目，设计团队从华尔兹创作过程中汲取灵感，试图在改造设计中表达空间与装饰的“材料之舞”。他们将现有公寓的规则视为“乐谱”，并沿着“倾斜的空间轴”构建新的“五线谱”，将材料当作“音符”，赋予它们超越功能的形式。这22度倾斜的空间轴线尊重并组织建筑内外的要素，营造出统一却不单调的氛围，具有独特个性——地面规划和布置蕴含音乐节奏与和声。该项目不仅在功能和美学上出色，更希望通过这种音乐手法唤起访客的情感和体验。建筑师集中称呼材料为“音符”，通过奇思妙想的设计赋予它们独特的“个性”，不仅体现现代实用性。老材料与新材料在这一室空间中彼此争辩，并且每种材料都会在一个房间的空间中开始做出自己的陈述，就像舞者随着生活中“早中晚”的朝夕晨昏这难以避免的“华尔兹三拍”翩翩起舞。

Feature：

Project - Material Waltz is an apartment renovation in Setagaya, Tokyo designed by Akaike Kazuhito of ARED Architects. Taking inspiration from the creative process behind waltz compositions, the architects sought to express the "dance of decoration" within renovation design. They viewed the existing rules of the apartment as a "musical score" and constructed a new “sheet music” along “skewed spatial axes”, treating materials as “musical notes” and giving them form beyond function.

The 22 degree angle spatial axes pay respect to and organize the elements inside and outside the building, creating a unified yet non-monotonic atmosphere with its own unique personality - one where floorplans and arrangements take on musical rhythm and harmony. Beyond functionalism and aesthetics, the architects hoped to appeal to visitors’ emotions and experiences through this musical approach. They gave the materials, viewed collectively as “notes”, distinct “personalities” with whimsical designs that convey more than just modern practicality. The old and new materials assert themselves within the one-room space, crossing brightly like dancers waltzing to the inevitable beats of morning, day and night.
