This concept design project involved proposing an optional plan for private units that was a first for Mitsubishi Jisho Residence, encompassing everything from lifestyle and layout plans to materials and custom-made furniture as a single package. Given the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has led people worldwide to re-evaluate the comfort of their living spaces, we proposed a "new standard" lifestyle for the post-COVID era, focusing on two key aspects of a condominium living space: "the ability to spend healthy and fulfilling time at home" and "the ability to balance daily life and work." The model room chosen was the 70S1 type, considered the most popular family-oriented unit among the 12 types available on each floor. In this type, we aimed to create a living space that could be customized to suit individual lifestyles, incorporating a "multifunctional area" in the living and dining area. By dividing the large living and dining area with storage shelves, family members can be in the same space while still being able to engage in different activities and feel each other's presence. The model room's styling was based on the concept of "Japandi," representing a unique proposal from our company, FOO, that differed from previous model room designs.
