Commons Asset Management — Minato: a top-floor office over the Meiji Jingu Gaien

Commons Asset Management moved to the top floor of a tower overlooking the greenery of the Meiji Jingu Gaien in Minato, Tokyo. SNARK planned the 348 m² office with the client around one word, “Nature”, adding a lounge for workshops and lectures and room for the company’s books.

Concept

Nature

Materials and details were chosen with “Nature” in mind, so the office shares a common back story.

Fixed books, moving furniture

A wall of fixed bookshelves and movable built-in furniture divide the space and allow many different layouts for work, meetings and events.

02 · Common ground

Where the name comes from

The hope is that as people gather here, the office becomes a new “common ground”, the origin of the company’s name.
