Behind the Design

Press Kit

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

Unique Properties: The theme of the interior design, a rough, dynamic, inorganic monotone space like an old warehouse in Europe or America, can be too inorganic and may not be the best design for an office space.
So, by installing a louvered ceiling finished in the client's three logo colors and placing colorful potted plants, accents are added to the inorganic space, making it a design suitable for an office space.
Dimensions & Packaging: Project area : 115.89 sqm / Category : Office

Production Technology: Ceiling : cloth , wood / Wall : wood wool cement board , cement , cloth / Floor : pvc tile
Design Challenge: The client's previous office space was outdated and lacking in design, but the renewed space has motivated the staff and improved the impression of the client's clients, which has contributed to the development of their business.
Research: The building itself is old, and its strength and insulation are difficult to maintain, so appropriate measures were taken to prevent them from interfering with the design.
Inspiration: This is the office of a company that exports products from all over Japan. It is located on the second floor of the company's vast logistics warehouse. The theme of the interior design is a rough, dynamic, inorganic monotone space like an old warehouse in Europe or America.
The Spanish owner and the Japanese designer combined their different sensibilities and decided on the design after many discussions.
Project Duration: Project Duration : From February 2024 to May 2024
Project location : Hyogo(Japan)
Operation Flow: The space was laid out while carefully simulating the expected movement lines of staff and visitors.
It is not a large space, but it is an efficient layout with no waste. The president's office is located at the very back of the space, and the glass partition gives the space a sense of spaciousness and allows the president and staff to communicate effectively.
