Kakushin Office by Moriyuki Ochiai Architects

Located in Tokyo, Japan, Resonance of Green / Kakushin Office by Moriyuki Ochiai Architects is an office and retail space designed for an automotive enterprise. The interior takes inspiration from the company’s signature hue of green, translating it into a spatial composition that evokes the atmosphere of a forest canopy. Throughout the space, polygonal forms in varying shades of green unfold across ceilings and walls. On the ceiling, layered geometric panels create a gradation reminiscent of overlapping leaves, while on the walls, textured green surfaces suggest new growth and movement. These elements introduce a dynamic visual rhythm, guiding perception and encouraging engagement within the workspace.

Along the walls and counters, stratified materials reference the layers of earth beneath a forest floor, emphasizing texture and grounding the luminous forms above. The combination of these vertical and horizontal elements generates a dialogue between surface, color, and structure, linking the artificial environment to natural processes of growth and transformation.

The design by studio Moriyuki Ochiai Architects responds to natural light throughout the day and across seasons, allowing the green tones and layered materials to shift in appearance as illumination changes. This variability contributes to an atmosphere of openness and adaptability, reinforcing the workspace’s role as a setting for creativity and exchange. Through its use of color, geometry, and light, Resonance of Green establishes a sensory landscape that connects occupants to the idea of renewal and vitality. The result is a spatial composition where material expression and environmental responsiveness converge to shape an interior that embodies both nature and innovation.
