HOSONO — Kawaguchi: a rebrand you can walk into

HOSONO, a property-management company rooted in Kawaguchi, Saitama, for 90 years, changed its name, logo and website when a new generation took over. Kinomoto Shokai renovated the 231 m² office in its own building to match, so that people who share the culture will want to work there.

Concept

Open views

The finely divided layout was reworked so the eye can travel. A raised platform and an opened-up ceiling give the free area a visual rhythm, and it has become the place where people naturally gather.
