Japan
okuwada architects is an architectural and spatial design practice based in Osaka and Tokyo. The aim is to reflect the real world in a minimalist space, using simple materials. His work is based on the concept of "inside and outside", "you and I", "morning, noon and night", "four seasons", "yesterday, today and tomorrow" and the transitions between them.

Takeshi Okuwada
Salon
The interior of this salon is made up of uneven oak pieces in the middle of the sawing process. The unevenness of the oak absorbs the light from the outside, giving it depth and allowing it to penetrate deep into the room. The interior also extends outwards, giving the impression of a cave, with the interior and exterior designed as one. The glass facade reflects the activity of the salon in the city, making the movement of people part of the design.
