製薬会社のオフィス改装計画である。製薬の過程で不可欠な綺麗な水を豊富に有する富山県に拠点を置く同社。コンセプトは”水の柔らかさと透明感”、エントランスは水流をモチーフとしたガラス張りとし透明感と広がりを、天井照明は水紋をイメージし躍動感と柔らかさを持たせた。客人を招く応接室は必要に応じてプライバシーの確保を要し、”透明感”とは相反する機能が必要であったが、通電する事で曇るフィルムを全面に配する事でデザインと機能を両立できる仕様とした。画一的で事務的であった既存から一新したこのオフィスで、また新しい薬品が創造される事だろう。

This project was an office refurbishment for apharmaceutical company. The company is based inToyama, a prefecture with abundant supplies ofthe clean water essential for the process ofpharmaceuticals manufacturing. Working with theconcept of “the softness and transparency ofwater,” we created both dynamism and softness—expressed in the ceiling lighting through images ofwater ripples, and in the entrance area through theideas of transparency and opening, created withglass paneling in the motif of water currents. Thewelcoming reception rooms sometimes requireprivacy, demanding a functionality that runscounter to the concept of transparency. We wereable to accommodate both design and functionalneeds by covering all the walls in a film that cloudsover with the flick of a switch. Completelytransformed from its once standardized andadministrative style, this is an office that is sure tobring new pharmaceutical products into existence.
