About Ajinomoto Taipei Headquarters Bulego Barnealdeko Diseinua

Ajinomoto Taipeiko Egoitza Nagusia Taipei hirian dagoen 377 metro koadroko bulego bateko barnealdeko diseinua da. Bulegoak zortzi metroko sabai-altuera duen loft bat hartzen du, Zhongshan North Road kalean. Diseinuak Wabi-Sabi estetika japoniarra jarraitzen du, ez-perfekziotasunean edertasuna aurkitzen duena. Antzoki-pasarela batek espazio bertikala inguratzen du, aire girotuko, aireztapeneko eta argiztapeneko hodiak eramanez, eta mantentze-lanetarako plataforma segurua osatzen du. Diseinu hexagonal simetriko batek altzari malguak eta esleipen librerako sistema bat ahalbidetzen ditu, eserleku finkorik gabe. Kabina insonorizatuek pribatutasuna ematen dute eta zarata murrizten dute.

Unique Properties: Situated on the historic Royal Avenue of the Zhongshan North Road business district, the office occupies a rare loft with an eight-meter ceiling height.

Production Technology: The office redesign incorporates a theater catwalk concept to outline vertical spaces, serving as a relaxation area for employees and integrating functional pipelines for air conditioning, ventilation, and lighting systems. This also provides a safe platform for future maintenance work.
Design Challenge: Adapting to the high rental costs in the urban area, the renovation was strategically executed in two phases for efficient relocation. The design challenge was to create a multipurpose space that could accommodate diverse working and interaction needs, including soundproof phone booths for privacy and noise reduction.
Research: The project required an in-depth analysis of sunlight exposure, energy-saving lighting plans, and the integration of ergonomic principles to enhance the quality and functionality of the workspace, focusing on human-centered design and maintenance accessibility.
Inspiration: The design concept was inspired by the Japanese aesthetic of Wabi-Sabi, which finds beauty in imperfection and transience. This aesthetic guided the renovation of the century-old office for Ajinomoto, a leading producer of amino acids and related products, which has established a critical presence in the medical and electronics markets since its founding in 1908.
Project Duration: The project started in Jun. 2022 and finished in Sep. 2022 in Taipei City.
Operation Flow: The office layout adopts a symmetrical hexagonal OA arrangement, accommodating flexible furniture arrangements that support a Free Address system without fixed seating positions. This setup is responsive to the changing demands of remote work, video conferencing, and pandemic-related safety measures.
