距離を設計する

西東京の雑居ビル1階にあるオフィスの内装計画。目の前には並木通りが広がり、豊かな緑を感じられる一方で、人通りも多く、外からの視線が課題であった。そこで、外の環境を取り込みながらも心地よい距離感を生み出すため、カーテンをサッシ面ではなく約3m室内側に設けた。

その結果、窓辺には内と外をつなぐ中間領域が生まれ、打合せや執務など、さまざまな活動の場として使われるようになった。緑を眺めながら、通りを行き交う人々とはやわらかく間合いを保つ。視線を遮るのではなく、距離を調整する。カーテンを少し奥に引くというシンプルな操作によって、外部に開かれた居心地のよい執務環境をつくり出した。

Designing Distance

An interior renovation for an office located on the ground floor of a mixed-use building in western Tokyo. While the tree-lined street in front of the site provides abundant greenery, the large number of pedestrians also creates challenges related to privacy and visibility from the outside.To bring the qualities of the street into the workspace while establishing a comfortable sense of distance, the curtain was positioned approximately 3 meters inside the room rather than directly along the window line.

As a result, an intermediate zone emerged along the façade, creating a space that accommodates a variety of activities, from meetings to everyday desk work. Occupants can enjoy views of the greenery while maintaining a gentle buffer from passersby on the street. At a time when many offices remain closed off behind blinds even during the day, this project explores a simple spatial gesture: pulling the curtain inward. By preserving connections to light, greenery, and the city, it aims to create a workplace that feels both open and comfortable.
