Inspired.Lab is a project of making a collaboration work space as
a base for new business developments, packed with new

The entrance, lounge and common hallway are all unified. Private
rooms are all glazed to promote communication among the users.

PARKERS

(Page 96)



parkERs, a design company that is composed of interior designer
and plant coordinator, opened their new office. Based upon a
concept of “work place where people experience future park”, the
office is so-called “bio-philic”, full of water, green, and light. “Indoor
park area” uses a pool and organic shaped long table for
communication, “Outdoor park area” has wood-chip covered floor
and a swing, and “Forest park area” offers working desk in a
forest. It is notable from a viewpoint of sustainable environment
that water from green wall fosters killifish and some wood parts
are thinning.
