Other Projects by Ryuichi Sasaki Architecture
Scandinavian Tourist Board, Tokyo Office
Tokyo, Japan
Located
in the heart of Tokyo, this project draws on the idea of the forest to provide
the right office atmosphere for a Scandinavian organization.
The
use of steel and other metals was avoided to the best extent possible in favor
of the warmth that wood provides. Japanese ash and basswood were selected for
the bookcase, desks, cabinets, and lockers. To meet the requirements of the
office without compromising the organizing design theme, tile carpeting, which
exploits the texture of sliced lumber, was carefully chosen. As a result, the
floor echoes with the materiality of the objects that fill the office space.
The
layout further reinforces the idea of the forest. The abstract motif of
conifers was transposed onto the glass windows, creating a soft visual boundary
between the aisle, the terraces, the meeting spaces, and the main office space.
During the day, the layers of the conifer motif and the shadows cast through
the windows offer a visual solace of nature, as if you are surrounded by trees.
This is especially true in the meeting spaces, which are bounded by windows on
their two sides.
Finally,
furniture pieces were specially ordered and installed in ways to bolster the
overall design scheme. The rows of bookcases were offset from the floor to
achieve a "floating" visual effect, above which cabinets were placed
with a space in between.
The
resultant atmosphere is that of warmth, lightness, and comfort amidst the busy
environs of Tokyo.
