The project was for a Shiga-based cloud vendor to move their office. Their new office was planned on the 1st floor of the building that is directly connected with JR Otsu station. The client requested an office which would stimulate communications further between employees who spend most of the time there, and would also deliver innovations.

Based on the request, the following three spaces were planned in addition to the working space, in order to cope with diverse working practices:- Lounge space; used for internal/external meetings,- Relaxing space; used to enhance communications, and- Meditation space; used to soothe stress.
