An office more than a place to work
It is an office renovation project for 25 staff to work in a “Free address” space. In the former office, each staff was physically and psychologically disconnected and divided by the small separated rooms spreading over many floors.
To make people feel free and boost their creativity for everyday work, the office design was targeted to realize an office that is more than just a place to work.
Uplifted floor, uplifting emotion
In nature, we feel free. It is because we can choose our own favorite place from the vast space. In addition, it gives us the feeling of being able to go anywhere we want. Since this office only has an area of 220 m2, a striped landscape was installed in order to create an ideal environment in a limited interior space.
A rhythm of the stripe pattern spreads over to the entire floor, and it uplifts and smoothly becomes a part of the furniture, and uplifts again to shape the wall. One floor becomes a bench, the one next becomes storage, another one becomes the table and planter box, then some of them create the partition for the manager or the focusing booth.
The working space is defined and provided by layers of stripes and greenery. Patterns can provide multiple functions depending on their level or position on the floor. Similar to the landscape in nature, this office consists of many different patterns that create many different spaces.
The border of stripes and levels divides a large space, but another way to say it is that the layers of stripes connect the different activities. Consequently, people find their favorite space within the stripe's dynamic and diverse landscape. It is possible to alternate this space every day depending on their feelings or the type of work they are doing.
