Okamotoya — Minato: a booth with no desk and no chair

Okamotoya’s head office building, the “Okamotoya Live Office Palette” in Minato, Tokyo, finished in January 2024, is a one-floor free-address office “without fences”. Inside it sits the Fellne SELF MAINTENANCE ROOM: a booth with no desk, no chair, uneven walls and a floor that is not flat, where staff step away from work for a while.

Concept

Work and non-work

The booth merges space for working with space for not working, so people can change mode during working hours. Devices are not allowed inside.

Rather than a separate rest area, it sits within the normal office, to remove guilt and create a gradient between on and off. Separate entrance and exit doors mean nobody knows who went in or when.
