Japan Association of Athletics Federations — Shinjuku: a running track to your desk

Concept

A track

The gently curved lines of a running track welcome people at the entrance and lead them smoothly to the workspace.

A rounded café counter and lounge seats continue the line in the refreshment area.

01 · Murals

Body movements

Murals by a Japanese artist at the entrance show running, jumping and throwing in acrylic paint and crayon. Each meeting room has the same movements as its theme in the wall graphics.

02 · Restraint

Few colours, more quality

Colours were kept to a minimum; the effort went into quality, material and texture, as a sign of change in the new office.
