Entry Description

-Transient waves of light -
We designed shared office spaces.
Inspired by traditional Japanese craftsmanship’s techniques for making kimonos using a single piece of cloth, here, a single aluminum sheet is spread across the entire ceiling and fills the space with waves full of vitality, like that of the sunlight shining on the surface of the paddy fields of yesteryear.
The overlapping metallic waves create areas of different heights and expanses of space that change freely, just as water flows in a lively and reactive manner, thus suffusing the area with the necessary functions and atmosphere.

Bio

Moriyuki Ochiai established his own studio, Moriyuki Ochiai Architects that is active in architectural, interior, furniture,landscape and industrial design.
The sources of our inspirations come from being captivated by the vivacious and lively beauty of nature or life.
We can also feel the influence coming from the delicate sensitivity responding to the unique Japanese nature, which can be found in Japanese temples and gardens.
We wish to continue creating works that fulfill people's dreams, become the energy for their lives, and then move on to a deeper dimension that exceeds life itself.
