The difference between conventional BGM and Chokei (Soundscape × Environmental Music) design
Hearing design for soundproofing and sound insulation | Kamiyama Choukei Office
Why is the sound carelessly treated when the interior is particular?
Sound is the architecture of the heart
This question was the beginning of the auditory design.
In the history of mankind, the creation of spaces that consider the sound environment has been practiced since before Christ, and in Japan, we have devised ways to consider sound in all spaces, including Japanese gardens.
Continuously enjoying the “secret pleasure” of the sound environment can create a memorable spatial experience.
We will rename this concept, which is being lost, to “auditory design” and create a memorable space together with everyone.

Points Of Chokei Design
A space that considers the sound environment gives people hope, peace, and vitality, and allows them to spend a rich time.
The environment does not exist without sound.
Therefore, what kind of space experience you want to have is to create an environment from the viewpoint of sound, that is the auditory view design.

We are currently publishing an article answering the question: How is it different from BGM?
why choose soundscape design
Reduce the burden on clients with total production
Concepts such as "healing" and "liveliness" are essential in creating a space.
We logically unravel sounds that are difficult to share through intuition alone, providing precise musical expression and effect.

Support details: Acoustic improvement at STA TIO N DESK, Marunouchi, Tokyo
STATION DESK Tokyo Marunouchi is a space of approximately 50m² with 16 seats, including semi-private rooms and telephone booths.
To allow employees to relax and concentrate on their work amid the hustle and bustle of the station, we paid particular attention to details when designing the space, such as seats where you can take off your shoes and lie down while working, aromatherapy, and just the right amount of lighting .
On the other hand, in terms of sound, like many other shared offices around the world, we were limited to playing commercially available background music.
I still remember the shock I felt when we switched from the conventional background music to the ambient music by Chokei Office. The view from the edge of the space was completely different .
The feedback from users has been very positive. Heavy users were the first to notice the change , with some saying that they were able to get their work done more efficiently than before, and others saying that the music itself sounds more stylish and cool.
