“Membrane in Stratum” is an installation that wraps around the interior space. The concept of human activity is emphasised by the graduation of translucency through the membrane.
The membrane regulates depth and boundaries. We can divide the room in many ways by the penetration, reflectance and absorption of light. We can change the function of the room at our will.
A dynamic space is born from the shadows that reflect of the membrane surface and vibrantly decorate the room.

O estúdio Kotaro Horiuchi desenvolveu o projecto de renovação da imagem de uma pequena boutique de queijos, que é também restaurante, em Paris, o Salon du Fromage. Esta loja pouco convencional afasta-se bastante das tradicionais boutiques, aproximando-se, por outro lado, de um ambiente que encoraja os clientes a explorarem o espaço e a aventurarem-se. O espaço, que pertence a um edifício construído no século XVIII, reparte-se por dois andares com paredes que os dividem em inúmeras salas intimistas e semelhantes a cavernas. Contudo, a cor branca prevalece, tanto na estrutura como nos objectos, tornando-o amplo e desafogado. A loja, localizada no andar inferior, está revestida de pedestais cilíndricos que variam na altura e na largura e exibem cerca de 350 variedades de queijo em pequenos frigoríficos. Os candeeiros assemelham-se a pequenos cubos de queijo e emanam uma luz serena e muito suave, transformando o ambiente das salas de forma algo dramática. No andar superior, os clientes são convidados a participar em provas de vinhos e workshops de queijos que decorrem numa pequena cozinha modular. O restaurante serve variantes de fondue e outros manjares em que o queijo é o ingrediente principal.

To design from the limited shelf space, to allow the coexistence of people, flowers and equipment, and at the same time maximize the storage space that doesn’t conflict with the movement of clients and staff, we came up with this layout.
 Vertically arranged shelves, disposed radially from the wall corner, form a layer on the ceiling, encouraging the activities of the people and ensuring the freedom of floral display.
The void enables an easy assembly of the shelves. The radial disposition of the planes will create voids of different dimensions which provide a good versatility when exhibiting flower arrangements of distinct sizes.
This display and the planes that extend to outside, create a interesting facade that will attract the passersby, and with that, new customers.

With another season of Dexter quickly approaching, it seems appropriate to showcase an office that has ‘Dark Passenger’ written all over it. Architects Kotaro Horiuchi designed this space to be less of a kill room, and more of a productive working space with plastic sheeting.Called “Membrane in Stratum,” which is essentially a membrane within layers. This rings pretty true when you see visuals of the space and its ability to shift at the drop of a hat.
Each area is zoned by these clear sheets in order to create efficient and separate spaces without having to add on walls and take up valuable space. Work environments are adaptable on the fly in this type of space, and unlimited in composition by simple tables.The only thing left to worry about in this space is whether or not you might end up on a tiny slide.
