AtMa has designed Com in Tokyo, Japan.

This project is an interactive commons created by AtMa where design and thoughts are integrated into people and communities.

"Here at Com...we think it would be very meaningful if we could exchange ideas with the people gathered and think together about various things and deepen our thoughts together," said AtMa Inc. "Then, in addition to the cafe, Com will be organising events based on themes that we are interested in."

In addition, the hope to add a new story to what was left behind and build on the history led to the addition of coffee-dyed cherry wood to the existing counter and the raising of the level of the existing tiled floors to create a furniture-like floor that can be used as a stage or a bench, depending on its purpose.

Ultimately, Com aims to be a place where people can be inspired and encouraged to realise, discover, and explore something new.

This project has been longlisted in the sustainable interior category of Dezeen Awards 2022.
