JAPAN'S BEST-DESIGNED OFFICESConcept
Let the cargo introduce the company
The company is in the Tekko Building, which it notes is easy to reach from the station and convenient both for the commute and for afterwards. Come out of the lift lobby, walk the corridor, and the entrance opens.
What is waiting there is the business itself: film of the products it handles, and scale models. For a trading company whose goods are too large to bring upstairs, a model of a helicopter on a shelf is the most direct introduction available.
01 · Reception
Flowers, film and models
The reception carries a display of scale models and a screen showing the products, so that a visitor knows what the company does before anyone says it.
02 · Meeting rooms
Several, for inside and outside
There are several meeting rooms, used for meetings with people inside the company and outside it.
03 · The gallery
Models, and framed things
A display case along the way holds more models and framed pieces — the company’s own gallery of what it has carried.
04 · Refresh space
Green tile, and a name
The refresh space is finished in warm timber and a wall of green tile, with a counter, a screen and a magazine rack. The company says it is not only for meetings: anyone on the staff can use it for lunch or simply to sit.
05 · Work floor
Where the desks are
The working floor keeps the same palette, with booth seating upholstered in green along one side.
