Built in 1968 as a former Ministry of Health and Welfare civil servant dormitory, Courtyard HIROO is a facility where a variety of businesses are located. We replaced the shared office and gallery part of the facility.
To beautifully portray the history of the building, we intentionally left some of the structure intact to emphasize the contrast with the new pure white walls.
For the shared office, by changing the pattern of the wooden walls that stand like gates for each booth, we created the effect of switching between office spaces. In addition, the ceiling wooden boards are hung at different heights to create a constantly lively atmosphere.
We chose movable panels for the gallery partitions, allowing the layout to be changed flexibly to suit the exhibition.
The wooden pattern on the walls is designed based on the Fibonacci sequence, creating an artistic space for the creative people who use the facility.
