Incubation office “Mistletoe of Tokyo” is never completed.It redefines the idea of an agile office and the relationship between clients and architects.By continuing to evolve with the users utilizing the standpoint of sustainability, DDAA and Mistletoe have discovered a new perspectives on office design.

Venture capital company Mistletoe, foundered by Taizo Son, invests hundreds of millions of dollars in early-stage startups, trying to solve today's challenges, from how to use bathrooms to how to collect space debris.One consistent policy is that they are all actively facing the future and trying to improve the ways of thinking established in their respective fields.When DDAA was asked to refurbish Mistletoe's incubation office in Tokyo, the client's brief had been very different from the standard office concept.Rather than preparing desk space, he wanted an environment that facilitated “accidental” communications between VC resident innovators.

DDAA's proposal is to create an unfinished "beta version" office by metabolizing. Generals buildings have a clear moment of completion, but not here.A place continues to change as architects continue to design to its user's requirements.
