「コンクリートの壁に世界最小レベルの丸窓を」
そんなテーマで窓の検討が始まりました。出来るだけシンプルに、コストを抑えて、綺麗に納めるにはどうすべきかを試行錯誤を重ねて研究しやっと現在の形に落ち着きました。
板ガラスに孔空け加工する際に発生する小さな丸いガラスをステンレスパイプ端部の座刳段にした受枠にリングガスケットとSSGシールを用いて取り付けられています。この丸窓は大小様々な大きさで壁に配置され、室内に不思議な光の粒を届けます。
ステンレスパイプはコンクリートを打設する際のセパレーターの役目も果たしながら壁に埋め込まれ、つい覗いて見たくなる不思議な窓となっています。
“The world’s smallest circular window set within a concrete wall” — this was the theme from which the design exploration began.
Through repeated study and experimentation, the design evolved toward a solution that could be realized as simply, beautifully, and economically as possible, ultimately arriving at its current form.
The circular glass pieces are created from the small round cutouts produced during the hole-drilling process of flat glass fabrication. These glass discs are installed into recessed stainless steel pipe frames using ring gaskets and SSG structural sealant.
The circular windows, varying in diameter and scattered across the concrete wall, bring mysterious particles of light into the interior space, creating a unique atmospheric effect.
The stainless steel pipes are embedded directly into the concrete wall, simultaneously functioning as separators during concrete casting. The result is a series of intriguing windows that naturally invite people to peer through them.
