“Unfinished”

The Corona wreck has spread and many employees feel a significant lack of communication and human interaction. In addition, there is a strong concern that the number of social interaction zones and places within companies will significantly decrease. 

P.O. Real Estate company has made a first attempt to solve this issue. This time, it is a project that aims at creating a new place between residential buildings and workplace、instead of asking for a so called third space, like a cafe.

In reality, the users register by authentication of a facial recognition and instantly know whether or not other registered people gather in this place as well; unlike meetings where time and designated place are decided in advance. This way a spontaneous and genuine communication is born and held in a frank manner. 

Furthermore, dividing space by freely moveable partition, controls and adjust where and when it is necessary, the sense of distance from the others according to the mood and feeling of the users. Moreover, the use of a raw material (sliced veneer before kneading) for the dividing partition seems to embrace the atmosphere of an incomplete place.

We hope this space will become a new and, at the same time, everyone’s place where people from a wide variety of fields and industries gather, think, inspire each other and share information. 

———Welcome to the incomplete field, where everything continues on. ’Unfinished’ means infinite possibilities. In the space where possibilities grow and merge, please nurture and cultivate solid fruits. — — —
