OFFICE & WORKPLACE
TAKT PROJECT Tohoku Lab
（Page 94)
TAKT PROJECT is what we call a DESIGN THINK + DO TANK
that creates and actualizes new concepts through design. The
newly completed satellite lab in Sendai, apart from the Tokyo
studio, is a space dedicated for creating and thinking to encounter
the unknown, in preference to meetings and administrative use.
Each seemingly bare object has in fact a purpose as a table, shelf,
or chair—yet arranged as if to exist ambiguously somewhere
between mere materials on one hand, and objects with a purpose
on the other hand, if the human intervention in the materials are
minimized. The confrontation with such unstable existence also
evokes imagination, just like the ceiling that stirs up our
imagination.

OFFICE & WORKPLACE
TENTiE
（Page 126)
Located in Tokyo, this is an office of company supporting artists,
composing of offices, conference rooms, lounge and interview
rooms for artists. Hallways, partitions, and planting containers
smoothly make borders of areas. Interior plants are not just
decorations, but they represent company identity respecting
artists’ individuality. Intriguing is that sound absorbing materials
and urethane tips are used with solid materials like wood, steel
and glass, contrastively.
As the company name “TENTiE” means that set of “Ten(points)”
makes strong “Tie”, a designer created this office producing
synergistic effects, mixing various originalities of artists.

FACADE & STOREFRONT DESIGN
Cartier Shinsaibashi Boutique
（Page 180)
Located in the center of Shinsaibashi, Osaka, high-end shopping
downtown, Cartier Shinsaibashi Boutique displays warm and
organic facade, making striking contrast with neighboring hard
buildings. Inspired by jewelry, architect applied diamond
geometric pattern to Japan-sourced hinoki(cypress) wood, which
is often used for construction of sake cup and temple architecture,
and the wood parts are crafted and finished, one by one, by
woodworkers in Kyoto. More than 2500 pieces of the wood
fragment are united by recyclable aluminum cast frames to
embody the facade. The wood piece coverage is only 200 thick
onto the existing facade of the building. During the daytime, the
northeast side of facade is illuminated by the morning sun showing
beautiful surface expressions of hinoki, and at night LED lamps in
the wood pieces give light, adding glamor to city scape of Osaka.

FACADE & STOREFRONT DESIGN
KAMERA
（Page 213)
KAMERA, standing style izakaya, is situated in Hyakkendana in
Shibuya, Tokyo and the neighborhood is full of small spots to wine
and dine. This project is established by chef Takeshi Kameya of
Bistro Rigole and Keita Mera of good-eye, which is a business
consulting firm using digital marketing to set up new business.
Here, the main menu includes steamed meat dumplings and
whisky and oolong tea. As the establishment faces a narrow road,
semi-outdoor area is created as a inter space between outside
and inside, not to make both customers and passers-by feel
uncomfortable. Also, it makes a kind of buffer zone or gathering
spot to invite people.
