Yasui Architects & Engineers — Kanda Mitoshiro: an office left unfinished on purpose

Concept

Room to grow

So that staff can work independently and creatively, the design rule was not to build the office in too much.

Space was left open on purpose, to be assembled to suit each period’s way of working.

01 · Ground floor

Mitoshiro Creative Special Zone

The ground floor is the “Mitoshiro Creative Special Zone”, an open place linked to the town, where staff aim to live alongside the neighbourhood and society.

02 · Upper floors

Linked by a void stair

The second and third floors are joined by a stair through a void, connecting the varied places on each floor.
