A project named CODO designed specifically for logistics companies

At the headquarters of the city.

The auditorium used to be used for internal events, and later turned into a multifunctional room where employees can work or rest, and the company can hold events and lectures.

Shuhei Goto Architects' design benefited from the high ceiling height of the 913 square meter room. It adds box-like steps on its periphery to make full use of the existing space and allow people to circulate freely.

The studio said: “By making full use of space in all directions, a new sense of distance will be created, which is completely different from the sense of distance in traditional office spaces.”

"Those who work side by side will not feel bothered by each other's height of sight, or on the contrary, people who are separated will feel connected because of each other's sight."

The stacking steps are described by the studio as "too big for furniture and too small for architecture" and can be used as benches or tables, or simply as elevated platforms to increase seating on different floors of the room.

The walkway between the stacked boxes connects the two sides of the room, and details such as the sound-proof built-in telephone booth and cantilever viewing platform give it fun that is not usually associated with office space.

When the company holds an event, one of the boxes serves as a stage and the other boxes serve as a seating area.

Since the building is used as an emergency evacuation shelter in the area, the hollow steps of the box can also be used as

Used for emergency supplies.

Shuhei Goto Architects used

Create multi-layer frames and add light-colored transparent curtains on the windows.

Shuhei Goto, founder of Shuhei Goto Architects, said: "This is a multi-purpose material: for sitting, walking or writing."

He told Dezeen: "Double curtains and shadows are printed in gradient colors." "The double gradient makes it look like natural light is leaking."

Different materials are used for the floors on different floors. The floor of the space itself is made of concrete, while the lowest level platform is made of hardwood floors.

Some higher floors are covered with carpets to indicate the differences between these areas.

The studio said: "The office is designed as a prototype of the office in the new era of innovation, based on the idea that today's office space needs a certain amount of space for flexible updates and updates initiated by employees."
