LaSalle Investment Management — Tokyo: two offices into one

Concept

One location

The previous offices were split into clusters, which made management and communication hard even within one organisation.

The client area uses the view of Tokyo Station with crisp, timeless interiors meant to convey trust and security.

01 · Materials

Soft and hard

Acoustic fabric and wood panelling and doors balance hard-lined LED fixtures set into the joints of urethane-painted panels, and art adds organic touches.

02 · Café

At the centre

A café wrapped in glass sits in the middle so that both companies can use it and meet. With a borderless, transparent workspace, the designers say attitudes towards using the office have opened up.
