Renovation of the office stands in the rich forests of south-eastern region of the Shiga Prefecture. Originally the 1st floor shop for rent, 2nd floor was used as an office. That, the 1st floor was renovated as business discussion space with expansion of business.
Because there were few windows in space of existence, you were a very small and dark image. So I took a big opening for the southeast and the southwest plane and also made it as high-ceilinged as possible. As a result, it’s to divide born open space by the green partition which is the corporate color of the company, and I’m planning for settlement of the accent and an image of a company. It was important to see outside from the interior and the interior from outside as the former clear office, not closed space.

Southeastern space in a building, a bench and a wall are made together as the deck terrace which connects from the interior. A wall is to block outside off and is the space where you can talk business calmly comfortably from each meeting booth. It’s possible to use it as a walk and rest space as the esplanade where you can go through to the neighborhood. I don’t go through straight by planting a tree at random, but I intend to stop slowly. I’m also working on an environmental issue aggressively by using the resin deck which are recycling items.
