The Design

About Phoenix Kanri Interiora Officiorum

Designatio fundata est in nomine societatis clientis, Phoenix, inspirataque notione Renascentiae, ut renovationem societatis culturaeque foveret. Quoniam Phoenix in re immobili excellit, prudenter visum est materias naturales, cuiusmodi lapides et lignum, in singulas partes incorporare. Lacunar sollerte elaboratum est ut imaginem societatis exprimeret, aesthetica gravi ac substantiali insigne. Cancelli atrii tribus stratis vitri laminati constant, artificiose fabricati ad profunditatis dimensionalitatemque sensum creandum.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: The office relocation was carried out in accordance with the increase in staff due to business expansion. A comprehensive survey revealed a diverse range of usage patterns, leading to the creation of dedicated meeting and VIP areas for guests, in addition to the primary office area used by employees. The design of the new office was developed based on the client's company name, Phoenix, and was inspired by the concept of rebirth, with the aim of fostering corporate and cultural revitalization.
Dimensions & Packaging: 978.68sqm
52.3m×23.5m×CH2.6m

Production Technology: The handrail is constructed with three sheets of laminated glass, creating a layered depth effect. The sandblasted etched glass serves to beautifully showcase the shadow of the feather motif, highlighting the multi-layered structure.The hallway features a unique display that captures the essence of the ocean. Mirrored corrugated panels on the ceiling and long lighting that recreates the view from underneath create an immersive experience, allowing guests to feel as if they are in the ocean.
Design Challenge: The client's objectives included "an office that increases productivity" and "an interior that is full of hospitality in the VIP area." While these requests were abstract, through analysis using diagrams and detailed interviews, we've discovered their daily work usage patterns and how they're adapting to meet their guests' needs. We created an immersive experience that made you forget you were in an office building, and created a space that exceeded their expectations.
Research: The ceiling's decorative elements, featuring phoenix wings at the entrance, and the dynamic movement of the wind flowing between them were rendered into six patterns. During the development of the 3D shape that appears to rise from the atrium, several issues required attention, including achieving a sense of unity, accentuating the wings with the lighting installed in each curve, and ensuring the cut line at the wall. Numerous mockups were created and tests were conducted to address these issues
Inspiration: At the time of its founding, the company was named "Phoenix" in the hope that it would "keep coming back" as other companies around it went bankrupt due to the recession. The main motif of streamlining was born from the company name and the desire to be a company that can continue to flourish. The design of the entrance is inspired by primary feather which has the function of moving forward between the wings of a bird, and the flow of air between the feathers of a bird as it rises.
Project Duration: The proposal started from October 1, 2022 to March 27, 2023.
We began designing from April 1, 2023 to September 1, 2023.
The construction started on 1 October 2023 to June 1, 2024.
Operation Flow: A co-working space has been designated as a separate area from the office. This room is sufficiently spacious to accommodate events, social gatherings, and company-wide events. It is also flexible, with easily movable fixtures. Since Phoenix is a building company, natural materials are incorporated into every detail. To ensure the comfort and accessibility of our elderly guests, furnishings are meticulously crafted to facilitate ease of movement and standing.
