MARUWA — Owariasahi: places to focus, look out and talk

MARUWA, a company that “creates the future through technology”, renewed its head office in Owariasahi, Aichi. Ba & Co. kept the base of how people already worked and added places that help each person work in their own way, all linked by a loop.

Closer to the desks

Private rooms and utilities sit at the centre of the floor, shortening the distance to the work areas and making them more convenient.

Four kinds of place

There is an enclosed area for focused work, an area to work while enjoying the view, an area for working through things with someone, and spots for quick stand-up chats.

Easy to move between
