Shimpei Oda and Tetsuya Tanji keep things minimal in studio for graphic design office Panda

Japanese architects Shimpei Oda and Tetsuya Tanji made only subtle changes to this unfinished office unit in Nara, to turn it into a design studio.
The two architects, who lead the studios Shimpei Oda Architect Office and Atelier Loowe, created the workspace for graphic design office Panda.
The rest of the 45-square-metre space is kept very simple and minimal, with only essential furnishings and a few decorative plants.
"With inner walls of extruded cement board and a concrete ceiling, the original internal space was incomplete," explained Oda.
