DENSO TEN — 4,000 m² floors turned into an ABW office

Concept

Choose your place

Fixed desks for everyone made the floors cramped, and there was nowhere to talk without booking a meeting room. Online meetings also brought noise problems.

Managers keep fixed seats at key points, surrounded by group-address table desks, with one or two collaboration areas per floor.

01 · Windows

Communication by the glass

Window seats had been hot in summer, cold in winter and glaring in the afternoon. Now they hold bright, casual communication areas with views.

02 · Quiet

Booths for sound

Behind them are booths for online meetings and focused work, away from noise. Staff report better chairs, more face-to-face talk and a welcome change of mood when they move.
