spicebox — Tokyo: seven boxes that flip open

Concept

Boxes

The seven boxes differ in size and finish, and each opens in a slightly different way.

The openings link inside and outside and shape sightlines, so each box reveals itself as you walk around.

01 · Corners

Semi-open around each box

The flipped-open entrances turn the area around each box into a semi-open communication corner.

02 · Hidden

Copiers behind the boxes

Things that need not be seen — the photocopier, bins, the fridge — hide behind the boxes, so the whole floor becomes active office space.
