A light and airy office connected by a street garden
We designed an office with a "street garden" that proposes a new way of working in a townscape that still retains the feel of a castle town from the early modern period.
This space, called the "Street Garden," lets in light and breezes through the skylights, and the natural light that reflects off the white walls softly illuminates the room. Additionally, ventilation windows effectively expel rising air currents, providing comfortable natural ventilation. The gently curved surface connects the upper and lower floors, guiding people's movement. It is a space where chance encounters and interactions occur within a natural flow.
