Japanese architect Kunihide Oshinomi has designed a glimmering, anthropomorphic building like a futuristic sea anenome at the Senzoku Gakuen College of Music in Kawasaki prefecture.
Called Silver Mountain, the building is at the heart of a small complex and is clad in gleaming stainless-steel plates. The neat block of an adjoining red, mosaic-tiled tower provides a rectilinear foil to the silvery, amorphous form. Oshinomi’s firm K/O Design Studio with Kajima Design created the new buildings which house rehearsal halls along with offices and faculty and student lounges.

“Designed at the pivotal point of traffic of the college of music’s campus, the new buildings have a powerful outline of form and contrasts of silver and red,” says Oshinomi. “I looked back to the basic principles of architecture ~ form, space, material and colour.”

Oshinomi is head of K/O Design Studio and visiting professor at both the Tokyo Institute of Technology and the Yokohama National University’s Graduate School. He established his architectural design company in 1993 and has worked on a wide range of design projects from skyscrapers to houses and from furniture to fashion. “We believe that architecture is only a small part of the human environment and we don’t think architecture should be treated as a special factor from a design point of view,” says Oshinomi. “We like to design surroundings that create a sophisticated environmental harmony.”
