Tokyo Design Office by Schemata Architecture

Anna Kidman - Friday, January 14, 2011

 

Schemata architecture who brought you the concise living unit Paco, has collaborated again on Mr Design Office, a working space developed for five designers in Tokyo. The client wanted to keep the space open whilst still maintaining a sense of privacy and warmth. Schemata avoided partitions and dividers for this reason but instead focused on partial-height wall units where division was necessary and mirrored surfaces to increase the sense of space. The 190 square metre office comes equipped with playful elements like a built-in tube slide for employees, and clever furniture like the bench constructed from four stand-alone chairs.
