A new office for an advertising company and it integrated each separate section, such as section for sales, direction, and production. As a result, they made an intersection of information and communication. This big office has a court-like blank space in the center where people socialize intimately, as they are to go through this space wherever they go in this company. It can be, in other words, the center of all the traffic lines.

SPECIAL FEATURE／OFFICE DESIGN
DEPORTARE COMPLEX
（Page 104）
This sharing office, located near Shibuya station in Tokyo, has a lot of tenants relating to either sports or technology. There are twenty-nine furniture-units with various chairs, tables and shelves.
When the units assemble, they make a shape of ship. The scene of such arrangement of things in different shapes and sizes also reminds us of a cityscape of Tokyo. Visitors may find here either a representation of leaving ship or flexibility of the members, which goes beyond the designer’s intention unexpectedly.
Designer : Minory Arts
FEATURE ARTICLE1／KIDS SCHOOL
FAMILIAR PRESCHOOL Jingumae
（Page 128）
Basing upon a progressive program and a method, this makes a kind of kindergarten. The interior materials are mostly natural. Colored parts and graphics are used to stimulate kid’s creativity. Geometry is a key motif of this environment, so circles, triangles, squares, and hexagons are frequently used in many aspects. The interior is quite closed and frosted glass was used as a requirement for the spatial design. An interior designer contrives a lot of visual tactics, emphasizing a horizontal lines and graphic focal points, to make the capacity look bigger than they are.

LHM KINDERGARTEN
（Page 135）
The architect designed a playful and exciting environment suitable for this kindergarten's educational policy, which focuses on bringing up children that can think, learn and act independently.
The glass windows face a garden outside to usher the great outdoors into the interior. The experiment of the building is to make a kind of inner landscape populated with lakes, hills and mountains that would inspire children with a variety of uses and fun ways to play by stimulating their imagination. An interior scenery offers children playful stages resembling a hill, furniture representing small mountains, caves or cabins and mirrors reminiscent of the surface of a body of water, while the color gradations of the walls feature a palette evoking the beauty of nature.

KYOTO SHU:GEN + JÜGEN
（Page 154）
This wedding facility was born as a renovation project using old Mitsui Family Shimogamo Villa along Yasaka-dori street in Kyoto.
Celebrities like novelist Yasunari Kawabata and politician Yasuhiro Nakasone at one time stayed the villa. The project was executed, adding new design motifs, to enhance the value of the historical building that lived there generations, era of Meiji, Taisho, and Showa. Keeping the essential taste and style of the building, a designer turned it a modern environment with traces of nostalgic decorations. A new extension part includes a chapel and a banquet room. An arched window of the apse of the wedding chapel benefits from the scenery of Yasaka-no-to pagoda dramatically and the hall attendees see where they are. This wedding hall is not just for the ceremony but for experience of being in old capital Kyoto.
