Outline:
We designed a new office space for a creative agency in Tokyo applying mixture of technology and traditional Japanese wood works for structure, furniture and fixtures. To keep the flexibility of the space, we suggested a portable partition system with grave on the wood base to insert panels and create proper size of the area.
Portable Whiteboard and Wooden Base:
The floor includes lab space intended for long-term project and war room intended for many projects to have short, intensive period of discussions. Because the number of projects simply outstands the numbers of available space in war room, we proposed an operational system which allows each project to own portable whiteboard panels made by polycarbonate.
The panels can be slot into the grave on the crossed base to temporarily create its own space and be easily remove once the session is finished. The wooden base from pine tree is supposed to be main columns for traditional Japanese wooden houses and its dimension of the section is quite huge. We applied traditional Japanese carpenter’s technique to assemble those wood base and to install fine and delicate details.
Combination of 3D Printing Technology and Woodcraft Technique:
During the designing phase, the wall located at the center of the space had no explicit function. It was assumed that its usage would vary and alter over time.
Thus we proposed a wood joint grid system on the wall: the female side is fixed on the wall, while the male side can be tailor-made with a 3D printer to suit each occasion and flexibly “hack” the wall.
The wood joint employs traditional carpenter’s technique, symbolizing the harmony between delicate handcraft and cutting edge technology.
The wood joint is a furniture-level example of our major concept for this space: “free to hack,” meaning the design is intentionally left open-end for users to further customize and fulfil their various needs.
Materials, Textures and Compositions:
We selected materials such as wood, copper and linoleum which ages over time and usage. By continually using the space, these materials will feel and become more comfortable with the activities conducted in the space.
From the nature of this place, one can easily imagine that this space will soon be filled with various objects: post-its, markers, tools, fixtures and others. We therefore designed the space to be as bold and simple as possible to appear strong and tolerant against the overflowing objects.
Base lighting is composed with seamless line lighting installed inside the corner between beam and slab. The intention here is to let the lighting be integrated to the structure, as any lighting fixture hung from the ceiling would simply become an additional noise to the space.
