Suppose Design Office has reimagined traditional elements of Japanese architecture inside the Tokyo workspace of tech company Slack.
Slack's Tokyo office is located just opposite the city's Imperial Palace gardens and has been designed by locally based Suppose Design Office to "define a new traditional atmosphere", mixing typical Japanese aesthetics with contemporary work culture.
The perimeter of the office, which overlooks the verdant gardens, has been completed with a black-painted drop ceiling and flooring.
It's intended to look like an engawa – a wooden or bamboo ledge that runs around the outside edge of traditional Japanese buildings.
Suppose Design Office was established in the year 2000 and works out of offices in Hiroshima and Tokyo.
