Office Design for the VFX Studio "KASSEN," Specializing in Directing and Editing Visual Media such as Commercials and Music Videos.

The office concept for "KASSEN," which aims to accelerate growth, is titled "Unfinished Space—A Space with Potential." The neutral interior architecture is divided and structured using simple and easy-to-arrange furniture. This simplicity allows the space to constantly evolve, leaving room for modifications, enabling the space to grow and change along with the company. The goal was to create an office design that would allow specialists from various fields of visual media to perform at their best.

Initially, the activities of the staff in this office were classified into three categories: "Passive," "Active," and "Neutral," which were distributed across the five floors: four above ground and one below.

• B1F: Office (Passive) •

1F: Preview Room (Active) + Elevator Hall (Neutral)

• 2F: Office (Passive) + Meeting Space (Active) + Entrance (Neutral)

• 3F: Office (Passive) + Meeting Space (Active) + Elevator Hall (Neutral)

• 4F: Lounge (Neutral)

Each floor has its own character: a passive office space for focused work, an active space for meetings with internal and external members, and a neutral space for relaxation. The design facilitates a mental shift according to the activities by using materials with different tones and lighting effects tailored to each floor.

The building's interior was stripped down to its raw state, exposing materials such as structural concrete, mortar, and white walls, which were then transformed using consistent primary materials across all floors like 2x4 lumber, birch plywood, MDF boards, flexible boards, LGS, and steel pipes. Rough materials were refined through processes such as staining and high-gloss painting to elevate them into quality, comfortable elements. The design introduces differentiation and tuning to create individual character on each floor, with metallic materials contributing to the passive spaces, softer wood materials in the active spaces, and a balanced mix in the neutral spaces.

We hope this office design will continue to evolve alongside "KASSEN," which is constantly growing and changing, and become a source of creative activity.
