RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
The sub-floor, designed to resemble a cruise ship sailing on the open sea, is a conference room with a blue and white color scheme that contrasts with the main floor. Louver panels are installed on the walls, and indirect lighting is installed behind the louver panels to make it look as if sunlight is shining through the gaps between the wings. This gives the impression that sunlight is shining through the gaps between the louvers.
CHALLENGE:
Each floor is designed with a different theme.
The main floor has a theme of fusion with nature, and the sub-floor has a theme of a cruise ship sailing on the open sea.
The various seating layouts allow staff to work at their preferred seat according to their mood at any given time. The meeting rooms are also available in both private and open formats. The space is not designed only for design, but also for rational and efficient office space that can meet all kinds of needs.

The recent unveiling of "Eiju," an office space designed with an innovative approach that seamlessly blends themes of nature and nautical exploration, has truly captivated my attention. The entrance, characterized by a striking 24-piece arched monument that evokes the grandeur of a large tree, invites visitors into a realm where nature and modernity coalesce. The meticulously arranged greens that adorn the walls, floor, and ceiling on the main floor craft an ambiance of serene fusion with nature, striking a perfect balance with the wooden materials scattered throughout. Transitioning to the sub-floor, the ambiance shifts dramatically to evoke the sensation of being aboard a cruise ship sailing across the vast ocean. The use of blue and white hues, complemented by louver panels and indirect lighting, simulates the gentle caress of sunlight through ocean waves, enhancing the thematic contrast between the floors. The thoughtful consideration in the design, offering a variety of seating arrangements and meeting spaces, caters to the dynamic needs and moods of its occupants, demonstrating not only an aesthetic triumph but also a practical blueprint for modern office environments. This work stands as a testament to the power of thematic diversity and the ability to create spaces that are both functionally versatile and visually compelling. The remarkable creativity and meticulous attention to detail evident in this project are commendable attributes of Shunsuke Ohe's design philosophy.

The thoughtful integration of natural elements with modern design principles in the office space is nothing short of inspirational.

The award-winning "Eiju" office design is a testament to the power of blending natural elements with modern aesthetics, creating a space that not only inspires creativity but also promotes a harmonious relationship with the environment. The ingenious use of a 24-piece arched monument at the entrance, which evokes the image of a majestic tree, alongside the strategic placement of greens across the interiors, effortlessly brings the outdoors in. The distinction between the main and sub-floor themes showcases an exceptional level of creativity and attention to detail, offering a refreshing narrative that moves from a nature-infused workspace to the adventurous spirit of a cruise ship. The thoughtful consideration of color schemes, materials, and lighting further enhances the spatial experience, ensuring that every element contributes to a cohesive and dynamic environment. It is truly inspiring to see how the challenges of integrating diverse themes and functional requirements have been met with such innovative design solutions. This work not only meets the high standards of the A' Design Award but also sets a benchmark for office design, where the well-being of the users is as much a priority as the aesthetic appeal.
