In this location, the building is required the consideration for these houses which have the different time axis of life. On the other hand, it also should open to outside as a place in which various people are in and out to produce new things.

Floor Plans

In this plan, we thought about how to open the office to such as surrounding environment. As a method, instead of delineating the inside and the outside, we devised a way to cover both sides as an office space integrally. The space is made up of the ?cover?, instead of walls and roof that separate inside and outside, or windows that obliterate the border between inside and outside.
