About Toshin Takarazuka Skolekontor
For sit andet oprettede kontor siden udbruddet af Covid19-pandemien var udfordringen, Matsuo Gakuin stod over for, at finde en løsning til at beskytte sine kontorbrugere og samtidig bevare de æstetiske værdier, som virksomheden altid har værnet om. To knuste tordenformede borde finder sted på kontoret, der deler rummet op i personale- og gæsteområder. glaspaneler blev klemt mellem brættet og dets duplikat hængende fra loftet. glaspanelerne løber skiftevis gennem parallelle linjer. Denne disposition danner et beskyttende skjold, samtidig med at luft og dokumenter kan cirkulere.

- Production Technology
- Both the counter board and its duplicate hanging down from the ceiling were made as furniture pieces, each separated and assembled onsite. The boards were finished in white veneer, and their bases in black veneer. Only the top of the counter board was finished in special antiviral melamine veneer. The glass sheets were sandwiched using slits cut on both lower and upper boards and fixed using transparent caulking on the top board.
- Design Challenge
- The biggest challenge of this space was the noticeably short design period and a limited budget. This location came shortly after opening a previous one in Osaka, so the concept was kept and readjusted to fit into the space and the program. The challenge was to readjust the concept while creating a different space for a different location.
- Research
- The research in this project was conducted to find out how to ensure safety in a guest receiving office space in the time of global pandemic. The goal was to find a compromise between total safety of the users and the aesthetic values that the company cheers so dearly. What are the materials to be used and what kind of atmosphere that prevents depression or paranoia in these difficult times? But also, a design that can be operational and feels normal long after the pandemic is over.
- Inspiration
- This space was inspired by a multitude of solutions that have emerged in response to the global pandemic, that were put together in a way to respond to the functionality needs of the clients operational mode. The imperfections of each solution or the aesthetic value has evolved into the proposed project. All types of spaces from medical facilities to banking institutions were part of the study, that transcended the real world to step on scifi spaces.

The undulation of the counter in a thunder shape creates separate subspaces that starches and its reflection on the mirror and glass makes the space look larger than it is. there is a reception counter, which is supplemented by a high counter.
