Office Design for Hakuten

Their approach to this office design skillfully reflects the flexibility and sustainability of place required in the modern era. The design is characterized by the variable functional space required in today's world and the use of colors and materials rarely used in offices to match the character of each location. In addition, the challenge of reducing the number of construction items throughout the project, with an eye toward the future of the urban office, provides hints for future office design.

Unique Properties

As a communication design company, at the core of the office zoning are various free spaces that stimulate the imagination of the scene in which they are used, rather than being imposed by the current era. Everything that is placed is movable, and events are held regularly to create a space that continues to change. In terms of the environment, the lean design solves the problems of Japanese office design.

office, spacedesign, workspace, movable furniture, reception

Production Technology

All fixtures are movable and have handles and stacking capabilities as well as casters. The wooden flooring in the cafe zone is removable piece by piece, combining the comfort of a comfortable environment with the advantages of a changeable temporary space. Graphic patterns are applied to the floor at regular intervals as a scale for changing exhibits.

Design Challenge

Free space is difficult to use if everything is free. We challenged ourselves to create comfortable limitations. We also decided what to keep from the old office while retaining some of the old tenant space. We challenged ourselves to remake both the space and the products, not only for environmental friendliness, but also to pass on memories and culture.

Project Duration

Project starts in spring 2023, construction completed in spring 2024.

Operation Flow

An office task force manages the place, and anyone can easily remake the space. During the day, dozens of people meet openly in the morning. In the afternoon, the space is used as an exhibition and cafe space for communication. At night, it is constantly changing as a bar time, where a different kind of communication occurs.

Research

In our survey of urban offices, we found that almost all tenants sign a contract for an office with all new space and then tear down all its finishes, demolishing and refinishing the interior twice. This is a bad business practice and a contractual problem in Japan. Furthermore, we found that although recently there has been an increase in designs that preserve the existing environment out of environmental considerations, offices are the only area that has not been improved at all.

Inspiration

It is true that today's urban offices are required to be more comfortable and perform better, which is why they are often dismantled from the standard specifications that were cleaned up by the restoration work associated with the contract of the former tenants. This time, we took over part of the former tenant's interior and took on the challenge of rethinking standard specifications that, while functional, tended to look old and shunned, and integrating them with the new space.
