Sugamo Shinkin Bank / Shimura Branch

By Emmanuelle Moureaux

« A rainbow-like stack of 12 colored layers, peeking out from the facade to welcome visitors. Upon entering the building, three elliptical skylights bathe the interior in a soft light. Visitors spontaneously look up to see a cut-out piece of the sky that invites them to gaze languidly at it. The open sky and sensation of openness prompts you to take deep breaths, refreshing your body from within. The ceiling is adorned with dandelion puff motifs that seem to float and drift through the air. Three long glass airwells thread through the first and second levels of the building, flooding the interior with natural light as well as « blowing » air through it. »

« The narrow site is sandwiched between very old neighboring buildings. Three thin slabs are projected into the open volume, softly dividing its functions. The continuous interior space is opening up to the street, to an intimate garden, and to the sky. »

The ability to work from home is a trend that is here to stay. Technology allows it, legislation permits it and employers often now encourage it. It is also very environment friendly.

An OfficePOD provides a working environment that is separate to home life. Employers can lease it here.
