Equinix Japan — Nihonbashi: a top-floor “social salon”

Equinix runs interconnection platforms worldwide. Its 2,100 m² Japan head office, on the top floor of a tower in historic Nihonbashi and completed in December 2016 with KOKUYO, set out to express both the Equinix brand and something Japanese.

Concept

A social salon

The concept is “richness like a social salon”, where customers, staff and partners gather comfortably.

The whole window line is opened up, like an engawa veranda, as a social space for staff.
