Shoshin dojo
Building an Aikido Dojo inside a commercial space of 1,000 sqf.
Description
In order to maximize the practice area, compact locker-rooms and small washrooms are built at the entrance. Locating these spaces half-way up from the existing floor clears enough room underneath for an accessible yet concealed tatami storage. The locker-room is hidden by a translucent partition, used as a screen for occasional video projections. To facilitate an eventual relocation of the Dojo, the wood structure is entirely dismountable.
