位于南青山的小型办公室。这是一个位于东京南青山一个安静区域的科技创业公司的小型办公室项目。由于总的计划是在早期阶段决定的，我本应设计总裁室的内部设计，然而，我认为每个房间的关系会提高整个办公室的质量，所以我重新计划设计整个办公室的室内设计。因此，它的前提是建议成本不会比原来的一般规格有明显的增加。在这种情况下，需要提供一个总裁办公室，一个兼作几个员工工作场所的会议室，以及一个为其他公司提供工程师培训的研讨室。

Small Office in Minami Aoyama. This is a project for a small office for a tech start-up company located in a quiet area of Minami Aoyama, Tokyo. Since the total plan was decided in the early stage, I was supposed to design the interior of the president’s room, however, I thought that the relationship of each room would improve the quality of the whole office, so I replanned to design the whole interior design of the office. Therefore, it was premised on a proposal that the cost would not increase significantly from the original general specifications. In this situation, it was needed to provide a president’s office, a meeting room that doubles as a place for several employees to work, and a seminar room for engineer training for other companies.

由于建筑的两个窗户朝向街道，我将总裁室和研讨室等小型私人房间放在街道一侧，这样可以通过窗户看到外面的情况，使空间更加宽阔。我选择了聚碳酸酯中空板作为隔断的饰面材料，因此它既能提供遮挡目光的功能，又能保证整个空间的日光照射。

As the two windows of the building facing the street, I placed small private rooms such as the president’s room and the seminar room on the street side, so that the outside can be seen through the windows to make the space wider. I chose a polycarbonate hollow sheet as a finishing material for the partition, therefore it provides the gaze shielding function while ensuring daylighting through the whole space.

此外，为了使用服务器、通信设备、研讨会等，还需要许多电源插座。另一方面，这个房间相当小，所以经常看到将这个空间定义为IT办公室的电源插座。通过设计它们的外观，我认为整个空间的质量将发生巨大的变化。首先，为了避免复杂化，切割了基础钢制的LGS，并直接嵌入了电源插座，将其平贴。此外，为了统一所有电器插座的安装，LGS被连续使用在墙壁上，或在天花板上被转换为布线管道。此外，电源插座的金属框架被暴露出来，没有盖板，与LGS的纹理相协调。

In addition, many electrical outlets were required for the use of servers, communication equipment, seminars, etc. On the other hand, the room is quite small, so the electrical outlets that define the space as an IT office are often seen. By designing their appearance, I thought that the quality of the whole space would change drastically. First, in order to avoid complications, the base steel LGS was cut and the electrical outlets were directly embedded to attach them flat. Furthermore, to unify all the electrical outlets’ installation, LGS is used continuously on the walls or converted to wiring ducts on the ceiling. In addition, The metal frame of the electrical outlets was exposed without a cover plate to harmonize with the texture of LGS.

通过对通常处于背景的材料进行处理，我打算把它们变成一个积极的存在。功能性的和坚毅的外观与公司的态度有关。虽然办公室的规模因COVID-19而缩小，但对真正的工作场所的需求正在被重申，我的目的是以最小的手段增加个性化和依恋等价值。

By working on materials that are usually in the background, I intended to turn them into a positive presence. The functional and stoic appearance is linked to the company’s attitude. While the scale of offices is shrinking due to the COVID-19, the need for real workplaces is being reaffirmed, and I aimed to add value such as individuality and attachment with minimum means.
