Office Renovation Project for Kondo Equipment Co. Ltd’s satellite office in Tokyo. The owner of the company is also the client for the “White Hut” in Kitakami Iwate, where Mr. Kondo regularly holds community events on the mountain site that he owns, and he wishes for his activities in Iwate to spark at interest for people living in the heart of Tokyo.
The Tokyo Satellite office is located in a prime location in Sendagaya at the heart of Tokyo. We divided the office space longitudinally, creating a small drafting office, and a large meeting area that extends onto the streets. The meeting area is intended to be used as a shared working space for discussions and collaborators, or a party venue at night.
In order provide privacy within the drafting office, the space is softly divided with a curtain, designed in collaboration with Haruka Shoji, a textile designer. Image samples from the mountains of Iwate were taken in Autumn 2021, arranged and collaged in exaggerated scales printed double sided on fabric mesh. LIght and shadows of Iwate are then casted onto this office space in Tokyo, connecting the two in spirit.
