Chapter 4 Renovation
GOOD OFFICE Shinbashi
（Page 155)
This share office is a renovated project of Hori building
established in 1932 in Shinbashi, Tokyo. Which was originally
built as office and residence for manufacturing architectural
hardware and registered as tangible cultural property in 1998.
The renovation was done to keep original characteristic details
and the traces of past renovations adding modernity to the interior
after modest refurbishment. So, watertight doors, outdated auto
rocks, plastered rooms, and tatami mat rooms are left, and new
parts are found in flooring, painting, furnishing, lighting, and color
schemes. The office must be liked by startup firms, as it looks
elastic.

MAKE A BASE WHERE PEOPLE GET TOGETHER Vol.4
Expanding the profession of architects & interior designers through place management
（Page 168)
Recently more and more spatial designers and architects tend to
have their own space for some users. How and what effective is it ?
Conventionally spatial designers need clients and now they make
themselves clients, owners, or platformers. Some make just space
for anyone to drop in and some operate cafes and
accommodations. They seem to show new role models of
architects and interior designers, getting smart insight and
expanding their areas of profession. Here are good case studies.
