About Ajinomoto Taipei Headquarters Kontorinnredning

Ajinomoto Taipei hovedkontor er et kontorinteriør på 377 kvadratmeter i Taipei by. Kontoret ligger i en loftsetasje med en takhøyde på åtte meter ved Zhongshan North Road. Designet følger den japanske Wabi-Sabi-estetikken, som finner skjønnhet i det ufullkomne. En teaterinspirert gangbane markerer det vertikale rommet, bærer klimaanlegg, ventilasjon og belysningsrør, og danner en sikker plattform for vedlikehold. En symmetrisk sekskantet planløsning gir plass til flexible møbler og et fritt adressesystem uten fastlagte sitteplasser. Lydisolerte båser gir privatliv og reduserer støy.

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.
