SUGA ATELIER
Architecture
Suga Atelier is an architecture firm established in 2001 based in Osaka, Japan. They have won several awards during their career, including the latest for the ‘House of Cedar’, Design Contest Grand Prize 2011.
Their designs are mostly minimalist with the combination of cold materials like stone, glass, steel or concrete and the warmth of wood and its traditional associations. This comment of Suga Atelier about the ‘House of Cedar’ sums their ideals and concepts:
‘This house is made by small size wood of cedar.
We developed in a way new structural system which uses old wooden frame technique and steel bolts to make a free and warm inner space. Today wood is used for structural members or finishing materials.
We thought we have to find a better way of using woods to be with trees. Because trees are important part of nature, and also people’s good friend from ancient period.
We use many smaller size simple woods and weave woods together to make free and pleasing space which is continuous to surroundings.
We can live in a better way with trees.’ – Suga Atelier
