"SoloTime FUTAKOTAMAGAWA" is a place that combines Shared office and Serviced office. As work styles diversify due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the number of people who work flexibly without restrictions on time or place increases, we wanted to add this place to our lives as a "slightly special place that you will want to visit." The theme of the design is "Elegant ×Nature".

"Creating a new culture” was the goal of this project. NIPPAN Group has built the most significant wholesale book business in Japan. As they challenged themselves to create new business opportunities beyond what they already had, there were two key themes that we tried to develop and integrate into this project. One is to make new engagement opportunities for people, and the other is to create new relationships between people and books. We wanted to create unique and diverse work styles where individuals can be themselves without being constrained by locations, time and old rules.

The Tokyo headquarters offers a variety of highly functional work and communication spaces, providing an environment where employees can work in their own way according to their individual work styles.For example, there is a Focus area where individuals can concentrate on their work, a Project area perfect for project collaboration, a Lounge where people can work in a different atmosphere, and an Ideation area where ideas can be visualized on a whiteboard and communication can take place. The 4,000 m2 circular area is made up of a variety of spaces, creating a variety of scenes as visitors move around the office.

The Innovation Center renewal project aims to transform business and solve social issues through the use of digital technology. Against the backdrop of a decrease in the number of visitors due to the spread of the new coronavirus and the accompanying hybrid work style, NTT DATA needs to update from a place of dissemination centered on technology exhibits to a place of collaborative creation where real and digital technologies are integrated.

This is an interior design for building the new office of HAKUHODO Technologies, which aimed for a new space suitable for a workstyle combining office and remote work. This office space basically comprisestwo areas: a team address area with a seating layout where workers can gather on a department basis when they come to the office, and a free address area where workers have a choice about where to sit with no departmental separation. The purpose of the design was to let workers select their workplaces according to different working situations in their office.

We assigned a theme for each of the 3 floors – “cultivate”, “create”, and “inspire” - applying different optimal approaches for connection and provided suitable spaces and technologies that help connect management with jobsites, corporate vision with businesses, and businesses with end-users. Each floor employs different design code that signifies the goal image.
