We converted Kenzo Takada’s former residence in Paris into a house and a restaurant for its new owner, a French entrepreneur.
Kenzo succeeded in creating a unique world in the heart of Paris by designing a beautiful Japanese garden with a stone-studded pond containing nishiki carp. We therefore performed planning centered around this pond. We reorganized the house and made all the rooms as transparent as possible so that the garden could be viewed from every corner of the house. In addition, we changed the entire texture of the house to provide more warmth and softness by applying wood and clay as the materials. We finished the claywork with the assistance of plasterers called ES in Paris.
Kenzo also used to have a swimming pool facing the courtyard, which signified his passion for the tropics. Given the climate of Paris, we changed it into an engawa (veranda which is in between space) made with wood and lattices.

ファッションデザイナー高田賢三のパリの自邸を、フランス人の企業家のための住宅+レストランへと改造した。
KENZOは錦鯉が泳ぐ池の中に飛び石を打った美しい日本庭園を作ることでパリの中に別世界をつくりあげた。われわれはこの庭を中心として、あらゆる空間から庭が見られるように空間を透明化して再編成した。木と土を用いて家全体のテクスチャーをよりやわらかく暖かいものへと作り変え、土壁はパリ在住の左官職人ESの力を借りた。
KENZOが中庭に面して作ったプールは彼の熱帯へのパッションの象徴であったが、われわれはパリの気候を考慮して、このプールを木と格子でできたEngawa空間(In between space)へと転換した。
