office-Atelier

Location: Shinkiba, Koto-ku, Tokyo
Use: Office + Cafe
Completion: March 2018
Scale: Steel frame, 2 stories / Renovation

This is a conversion project to renovate a 41-year-old lumber warehouse into an office and cafe. We created an office space by nesting spaces inside the large volume using wooden shafts. The interesting thing about renovations and conversions is that clients can make their own changes. One of the major features of this project is that because there is an existing building, it is easier to imagine the project, unlike a new building that is built from scratch. This project also involved various customizations, such as the client painting and making furniture.
