NENDO在KenzoTange的SoGetsuKaikan东京大楼的头上翻了内部建筑，在那里著名的设计工作室重新构思了奥山办事处和康内尔咖啡馆。

Nendo并没有从“室内功能”这一概念出发，受到1977建筑的“外部美学”的影响和启发。SangeSu KaKiNi的半镜面幕墙和平面结构巧妙地与斜面地板、L形线条和总体最小的美学相匹配。

设计工作室解释说：“结果是室内设计，让人对整个建筑的特征和形式有了强烈的感觉。”

令人愉快的极简主义办公室继续进入咖啡馆，位于二楼。保持坦格的原始设计不变，是地板和家具在这里接受了Nendo的处理。“溪流”地板已安装，以顺利统一分区空间，创造了一种一致性的感觉贯穿整个。埃罗·萨里宁(Eero Saarinen)粉饰黑色柜台和翻新“郁金香椅”，也通过家具和配件做到了这一点。

咖啡厅本身主要是由Nendo管理，他们的灵感来自于他们与各种各样的人日益增长的合作。

他们解释说：“我们把它命名为”Connel“；一部关于日文”Koneru“的戏剧，意思是”揉捏“或”塑造“。单词“Nendo”本身的意思是黏土，这是一个令人愉快的平行，他们已经扩展到创建标志(通过将Nendo‘n’并将它弯曲成两个‘c’s)。在杯子本身就可以找到一个有趣的名字和标志，它有独特的，揉捏的手柄。总之，在文字、线条和风格上都是一出漂亮的戏。

Inspired by 'the exterior aesthetics' of the 1977 building, Nendo looked to match the architecture with a visually appealing interior. Photography: Daici Ano / Takumi Ota

Meeting rooms, open-plan offices and smaller break out areas are fitted with different materials, making the space division clearer. Photography: Daici Ano / Takumi Ota

'The result is an interior design that allows one to get a strong sense of the character and form of the building as a whole,' explains the design studio. Photography: Daici Ano / Takumi Ota

'We have named it “Connel”; a play on the Japanese word “koneru”, meaning “to knead” or “to mould”,' explain the coffee connoisseurs. The word 'nendo' itself means clay, a pleasing parallel that they've played with further to create the logo (taking the Nendo 'n' and bending it into two 'c's). Courtesy of Nendo
