Unlike the close relationship between food and customer that is considered with Jiro Ono's kitchen, the link between Shinya Kimura and his motorbikes is a much more personal one, and therefore his garage requires a different consideration for his spatial and artistic needs.
As he conveys in his self-titled documentary, directed by Henrik Hansen, his work is a very private and introspective process, saying,
Considering this, I will design the entrance to his garage in a manner to insure his privacy while he works.
Whilst there must be a clear separation of thought in the design process of Jiro's kitchen and Kimura's garage, there is one key element to both spaces that I believe is crucial to their respective artistic creations, familiarity.
I will model my design for Kimura's garage from aspects of typical garages, as well as, from his own workshop at Chabbot Engineering, seen in the documentary,
Moreover, my concept for the staircase leading into Kimura's garage will be based off his visual experience while he is riding his speeding motorbike, that is,
I will texture the riser of the staircase with a white-blue colour that enforces this notion of having no boundary between the sky and the ground. As Kimura walks up this staircase/ramp , bringing his bike to the showroom, he has a sense that he is riding the bike.
