About Ajinomoto Taipei Headquarters Dealbhadh Taobh a-staigh Oifis

Is e taobh a-staigh oifis 377 meatair ceàrnagach ann am Baile-mòr Taipei a th' ann an Prìomh-oifis Ajinomoto Taipei. Tha an oifis a' gabhail thairis loft le àirde mullach ochd meatairean air Rathad Zhongshan a Tuath. Tha an dealbhadh a' leantainn air ann an sgeadachadh Wabi-Sabi Iapanach, a lorgas bòidhchead ann an neo-fhoirfeachd. Tha slighe-choiseachd theatar a' cumadh na h-àite dhìreach, a' giùlan pìoban fionnarachaidh-adhair, adhaireachd agus soillseachaidh, agus a' cruthachadh àrd-ùrlar sàbhailte airson obair-glèidhidh. Tha cruth sia-shligeach co-chothromach a' ceadachadh àirneis sùbailte agus siostam seòlaidh saor gun suidheachain suidhichte. Bidh bùthan-fuaim a' toirt prìobhaideachd agus a' lughdachadh fuaim.

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.
