The purpose of this paper is to focus on interior designer Takashi Sugimoto and clarify what the characteristics of the work are. The research target was 62 commercial space works published in the magazine "SHOTEN KENCHIKU". From the perspectives of spatial composition, materials, lighting and environment generation, the elements of the presented work were extracted. Works were classified using this data. The work classification could be classified into 5 groups from A group to E group. The characteristics of group A are "grid allocation" and "symmetrical layout line", which are citations of a single design. In group B, "whole circle" appears for the first time and functionality is emphasized. In group C, "partial circles", "parallel lines" and "whole circles" are boldly used in a plan . In Group D, "composite figures" and "multiple figures" are used in a plan, and many finishing elements appear in the work. In Group E, "louver wall surface" appears in the elevation plan, and "wood floor" and "metal floor" appear in the floor finishing. From these analyze, it became clear that each group was transitioning over the years. Sugimoto’s characteristics of the third generation and the influence of the bubble economy appeared in the work.
