Abiko House
Fuse Atelier recently completed a very cool concrete home for a husband and wife duo. Both being furniture designers they wanted to create a gallery-like home to showcase their minimalistic furniture. Fuse’s solution was a 900 square foot concrete structure with inclined walls, angular surfaces, and stairs protruding from the walls with no railings. The home is situated in the town of Abiko, Japan, a town that is in the midst of embracing a new wave of modern architecture.
Fuse explained the concept of the Abiko house, “This house is in pursuit of the rational form of spatial relationships and structure, which creates a sense of various distances. And with multi-angle configuration, the space is articulated with a continuous sequence that I create a variety of reflection and refraction of light accompanied by a delicate nature.”
To spotlight the architectural geometry, Fuse introduced concealed LED strip lighting to areas of interest. For the interiors, shades of gray were implemented on the concrete in effort to maintain a neutral background for the custom furniture pieces that will add authenticity to the home.
