Zero flow Beautiful Living Connected by Positives. The house was completed in Motoazabu, Tokyo. Case study Report

The star of this home is the "Zero flow Plus" placed in the center of the LDK space.
The appeal of this design is that the cook, diners, and those relaxing in the living room can all naturally see each other and feel a sense of family connection.
Being able to see the expressions on the faces of family members while standing in the kitchen allows for conversation while cooking, naturally fostering communication. While respecting the individual ways of spending time, the sense of security of sharing the same space brings a comfortable sense of unity to the living space.

The dining block, integrated with the kitchen, serves not only for meals, but also as a space for children's homework, working from home, and entertaining. Various scenes of daily life gently circle around this space.

Zero flow kitchen The appeal of the "KITCHEN" is that you don't have to move at all.
The flow line design makes daily household chores remarkably smooth, as you can complete all tasks from preparation, cooking, serving, to cleanup without moving a single step from where you stand in the kitchen.

In addition, a large foreign-made dishwasher is built-in on the dining room side.
When meals are finished, cleanup can be done directly from the dining room side without having to go around the kitchen, minimizing the cleanup flow as well as the cooking flow.

By reducing the burden of housework, the after-dinner time is transformed into a time to relax and enjoy conversation with family members.
All of this is made possible by PARALLELO Sink, which allows for complete cooking in the sink and access from both sides. The Zero flow lifestyle is possible because the sink can be used from both sides, allowing for complete preparation, cooking, and serving in the sink.

The "System Kitchen iNO Splash Black" was adopted for this residence.
As the name suggests, it is characterized by a delicate pattern reminiscent of the spray of a flowing waterfall, and even though the base color is black, it shows a variety of expressions depending on the light and angle. The quiet presence of the metallic texture tightens the entire space, while at the same time evoking a sense of natural rhythm.

For the surrounding interior, we selected subdued materials with the warmth of wood. The natural and soft tones are complemented by the essence of sharp metal, bringing a sense of crispness and sophistication to the space.

The worktop is finished in stainless steel Titanium tone polish. While giving a modern and sharp impression, the colorless finish blends naturally with the texture of the wood and other materials, harmonizing with the space without being too assertive.
The finish is not only beautiful to look at, but also practical in terms of durability and ease of maintenance.

The time spent in the kitchen will change from just "work" to "enjoyment.
That may be the most important change that Zero flow Plus brings.
Cooking and cleaning up are smoother and less time-consuming. Stress from housework is reduced, and your mind becomes more relaxed. And before you know it, that time will turn into conversation with your family, which will bring a smile to your face.
Zero flow The space connected by the "kitchen" is a place where not only the cook, but also everyone in the space can naturally interact with each other.
The idea of placing the kitchen at the center of daily life gently changes the rhythm of the home and the sense of distance between family members.

The daily routine enhances the quality of life and sets the rhythm of life.
Zero flow Plus" is an opportunity to rethink the richness and comfort of daily housework, and the way we spend our time.
