Sojitz REIT Advisors — Tokyo: stripping a 36-year-old building

Concept

Inherent potential

The original finishes were removed to expose the basic architecture and the generous space hidden behind them.

New materials were chosen to suit that texture and to be expressive — Canuch calls this “maximizing a space’s inherent potential”.

01 · Glass

A collaboration area in view

A glass-enclosed collaboration area sits on the line from the visitor zone to the office, visible from the work area to spark communication.

02 · Green

Plants in the walls

Plants are set into the walls so greenery is felt from the desks, and a Japanese-style room closes the sequence.
