This space comprises meeting rooms and a waiting area designed for recruitment interviews.

As visitors are likely to feel tense upon arrival, we developed the concept “tokeru”—a Japanese word meaning both “to melt” and “to release tension.”                    The design aims to create an environment where guests can relax and perform at their best.

The meeting room features curved glass panels reminiscent of melting ice, while the waiting area has rounded furniture, creating a visually soft atmosphere. Although glass walls typically pose acoustic issues, high-performance sound-absorbing ceiling panels ensure a comfortable auditory environment. This creates a meeting room with a soft, inviting ambience, achieved through the combination of glass and lace curtains. Indirect lighting is installed between the glass and the lace curtains. By adjusting the transparency so that silhouettes are visible, but faces are not, the design helps to create an atmosphere that alleviates tension.
