   They must have some fantastic workman’s comp insurance.

   I’m guessing Japan has no disability accessibility legislation.

   I can feel the sting in my knees and the tears of embarrassment streaming down my cheeks right now just by looking at the photo.

   I’m guessing a hidden motive of theirs, underneath the beautiful design, is to challenge the long-standing business practice of favoring seniority (ie, in age) over skilled persons. This type of design would favor the younger employees and shake up the hierarchical nature of Japanese worker ants.

   Well, they won’t get my wife working for them until they put grab-handles by each opening!

   Actually, if I remember correctly, it is traditional in China and Japan to have to step over a threshold into a room. So much so that, in Chinese Opera, the actors mime the step just as we would mime opening a door.

   Interior designers and architects don’t often think of how things will be applied once actual people are in the spaces they design.
   I know, I go to school with them. >.<

    Hey that’s discrimination against people without depth perception (me)! Apart from that, pretty neat design. It’s good to see an office which isn’t just a boring cubicle garden.
