The office for Mitsui Fudosan is a new type of space designed by I IN, used by company members for various independent projects. A different office style was required for the design of the new business of the well-known Japanese company. The space had to differ from the typical office space, where the usual atmosphere would be for people to work at their desk. The point was to create an office where people can truly relax and spend their time in freedom. In essence, the feeling of being in one's own house was taken into inspiration and applied to all common spaces, such as living and dining environments. To create a place, where people can feel the future, technology that embraces everyday life has been used as a way of expressing newness. A high-resolution screen with high-output images flowing in the center of the office, emits colour-lit images throughout the whole space. By blurring the boundaries between the image and the reality, I IN aimed for an expression that symbolised the true future. In contrast to the open space, the meeting room, which is surrounded by a plastered curved wall with soft shading, is much more quiet and the design reflects its calmness. Through the glass, using characteristic colour gradation, slightly coloured light flows into the room. By rebuilding light, shape, materials and the way people spend their time at work, the whole office becomes a comfortable space, while presenting a new view of the future.
