项目 - APOLLO一级建筑师事务所与著名产品设计师尼古拉·加利兹亚在东京港区的这个项目中，将储物系统从单纯的家具提升为空间的核心建筑元素。这个名为"MORANDI"的185平方米公寓翻新项目为当代住宅设计提供了一个创新的概念模型。

该项目的显着特点是其对储物设计的突破性方法——将意大利家具品牌莫尔泰尼(Molteni&C)的标志性系统单元转变为住宅的结构核心。设计团队没有将收纳系统作为事后考虑，而是精心编排了一系列无缝衔接的储物元素，这些元素不仅连接各个房间，同时也定义了整个空间的层次结构。

住宅的审美特点在于天然日出橡木柜门与深色橡木天花板面板之间的材质对话，在整个空间中创造出精确的视觉韵律。设计师通过精心挑选的艺术品和灯具引入了黄铜色调的点缀，而在湿区使用的银色travertine和Ceppo石纹理的陶瓷砖进一步强化了意大利奢华美学。

最引人入胜的设计元素是其经过精心编排的动线序列。当居住者穿越公寓时，他们体验到一段由连续储物系统引导的旅程，从公共区域到私人空间。这种建筑漫步揭示了意大利设计优雅与传统日本空间概念之间的平行性，即通过精心设计的元素温和地划分空间而非硬性分割。

兼作欢迎入口区的家庭室展示了这种方法，储物系统从客厅到餐厅再到厨房区域不间断流动，创造出一种舞台般的空间体验。这种连续性将日常生活活动转变为在精湛工艺背景下的一场精致表演。

MORANDI代表了一个重要的建筑声明，挑战了家具与空间之间的传统关系，展示了储物系统如何超越功能性，成为表达和体验空间的主要建筑语法。这一作品充分体现了设计团队对细节的关注以及将复杂设计概念转化为和谐生活环境的能力。

团队 - 由黑崎敏于2000年创立并于2008年注册成立的APOLLO一级建筑师事务所，专注于当代住宅设计。这家总部位于东京的事务所已经建立了令人印象深刻的作品集，特点是复杂的极简主义、创新的空间构图和对材料表达的细致关注。

在黑崎的领导下，该事务所通过众多享有盛誉的奖项获得了国际认可，包括多个iF设计奖、DNA巴黎设计奖和亚洲设计大奖。他们的项目被持续提名为年度建筑，其中近年来"TIMELESS"、"ESPRIT"和"LAXUS"等独特的住宅作品尤其受到赞誉。

该事务所拥有一支由首席建筑师藤井统领导的多元化人才团队，专业人员带来了来自早稻田大学、京都工艺纤维大学和多摩美术大学等知名机构的专业知识。这种国际视野与黑崎作为庆应义塾大学系统设计工学系前讲师的学术参与相辅相成。

作为注册的APEC建筑师和日本建筑师协会会员，黑崎及其设计团队的每个项目都代表了功能性、美学精炼和环境敏感性之间精心校准的平衡。

Project - APOLLO Architects & Associates, in collaboration with renowned product designer Nicola Gallizia, has elevated storage systems from mere furniture to the defining architectural element in this Tokyo residence. Completed in May 2024, the 185-square-meter apartment renovation named "MORANDI" presents an innovative conceptual model for contemporary residential design.

The project's distinguishing characteristic is its revolutionary approach to storage design—transforming signature system units from Italian furniture brand Molteni&C into the structural core of the residence. Rather than treating storage as an afterthought, Satoshi Kurosaki and Gallizia orchestrated a seamless flow of storage elements that not only connect rooms but simultaneously define the spatial hierarchy throughout the home.

The residence's aesthetic is characterized by a dialogue between natural sunrise oak cabinet doors and dark oak ceiling panels, creating a precise visual rhythm throughout the space. The designers introduced brass-toned accents through carefully selected artworks and lighting fixtures, while silver travertine and Ceppo stone-patterned ceramic tiles in wet areas further enhance the Italian luxury aesthetic.

Perhaps the most compelling design element is the choreographed sequence of movement. As residents traverse the apartment, they experience a journey guided by the continuous storage system from public to private spaces. This architectural promenade reveals fascinating parallels between Italian design elegance and traditional Japanese spatial concepts, where spaces are gently delineated through thoughtfully designed elements rather than hard divisions.

The family room, which doubles as a welcoming entrance area, exemplifies this approach with storage systems that flow uninterrupted from living to dining to kitchen zones, creating a theatrical spatial experience. This continuity transforms everyday domestic activities into a sophisticated performance set against a backdrop of meticulous craftsmanship.

MORANDI represents a significant architectural statement that challenges conventional relationships between furniture and space, demonstrating how storage systems can transcend functionality to become the primary architectural syntax through which space is articulated and experienced. The work fully demonstrates Kurosaki's attention to detail and ability to translate complex design concepts into harmonious living environments.

Design Team - Founded by Satoshi Kurosaki in 2000 and incorporated in 2008, APOLLO Architects & Associates has established itself as one of Japan's most distinguished architecture firms specializing in contemporary residential design. Based in Tokyo, the practice has built an impressive portfolio characterized by sophisticated minimalism, innovative spatial compositions, and meticulous attention to material expression.

Under Kurosaki's leadership, the firm has garnered international recognition through numerous prestigious awards, including multiple iF Design Awards, DNA Paris Design Awards, and DFA Design for Asia Awards. Their projects have been consistently nominated for ArchDaily's Building of the Year, with their distinctive residential works "TIMELESS," "ESPRIT," and "LAXUS" receiving particular acclaim in recent years.

The practice maintains a diverse team of talented architects led by Chief Architect Osamu Fujii, with specialists bringing expertise from renowned institutions including Waseda University, Kyoto Institute of Technology, and Tama Art University. This international perspective is complemented by Kurosaki's academic involvement as a former lecturer at Keio University's Department of System Design Engineering.

As a registered APEC Architect and member of the Japan Institute of Architects, Kurosaki has positioned APOLLO as a leading voice in contemporary Japanese residential architecture, with each project representing a carefully calibrated balance between functionality, aesthetic refinement, and contextual sensitivity.
