DESIGN CONCEPT
The Fusion of
Beauty and Comfort
Atelier Brooks is a design studio engaged in overall design and architecture, beginning with the world’s only one circular island kitchen “Circle Stage”, and engaged as well in bath and toilet design.
Our creative concept is “the fusion of Beauty and Comfort”, engendered by our wish to improve not only external beauty, but also internal satisfaction.
What kind of design do we mean? Everyone is attracted by beauty, but our target of “Beauty” is one that also provides both visual and sensual “Relaxation” and “Peace”, thereby providing joy and pleasure.
For example, we often see stairs without a railing, due to a overly strong pursuit of simplicity. Yet, in a household with small children or elderly, such stairs are unsafe. They may look good, but do not provide the “peace” we truly require.
Besides stairs, there are other cases without practicality or safety, such as interiors with bare concrete wall or interiors with many steps, which are neither practical nor safe.
When considering the renovation or construction of a house, the highest priority should be the feelings of the people actually living there, not the designers and architects intentions.
Atelier Brooks pursues superior design, but without sacrificing “comfort” by reducing safety or utilizing designs that are hard to use.
Regarding island kitchens: Rectangular styles are the norm worldwide, so other styles of dining tables for eating comfortably on kitchen are not available. Counters are often too narrow, and tables too big to fit in a normal kitchen.
For this reason, Atelier Brooks designed the “Circle Stage”, transforming the rectangular island kitchen to a circular shape, one that takes full advantage of the available shape. Not only is it easily possible to cook in the center of a circle, effectively utilizing space, both the cook and all present can enjoy their time together. Please refer to the menu of “Circle Island Kitchen” for details.
A space in which family and friends can connect with each other well, sharing the pleasure and excitement of being together is the aim of the kitchens from Atelier Brooks. When considering new construction or redecorating a home, please consider our unique designs.
We look forward to being of service to you.
