The Design

About Expandy Office

This is the office of a company that exports products from all over Japan overseas. It is located on the second floor of the company's vast logistics warehouse. The Spanish owner and a Japanese designer had many discussions to decide on the interior design. The design theme is a rough, dynamic, and inorganic monotone interior like an old warehouse in Europe or the United States. However, if everything is monotone, it becomes too inorganic and is not the best design for an office space to work in, so ingenuity has been put into each part to create a design suitable for an office space.

Unique Properties
The theme of the interior design, a rough, dynamic, inorganic monotone space like an old warehouse in Europe or America, can be too inorganic and may not be the best design for an office space.
So, by installing a louvered ceiling finished in the client's three logo colors and placing colorful potted plants, accents are added to the inorganic space, making it a design suitable for an office space.

Design Challenge
The client's previous office space was outdated and lacking in design, but the renewed space has motivated the staff and improved the impression of the client's clients, which has contributed to the development of their business.
Research
The building itself is old, and its strength and insulation are difficult to maintain, so appropriate measures were taken to prevent them from interfering with the design.
Inspiration
This is the office of a company that exports products from all over Japan. It is located on the second floor of the company's vast logistics warehouse. The theme of the interior design is a rough, dynamic, inorganic monotone space like an old warehouse in Europe or America.
The Spanish owner and the Japanese designer combined their different sensibilities and decided on the design after many discussions.
Project Duration
Project Duration : From February 2024 to May 2024
Project location : Hyogo(Japan)
Operation Flow
The space was laid out while carefully simulating the expected movement lines of staff and visitors.
It is not a large space, but it is an efficient layout with no waste. The president's office is located at the very back of the space, and the glass partition gives the space a sense of spaciousness and allows the president and staff to communicate effectively.
