Nabtesco — Tokyo: Creative Avenue, Learning Park, Bridge cafe

Concept

Four themes

The brief set four themes: space suited to each way of working, more communication areas, more meeting and reception rooms, and flexibility for growth.

A seating plan for activity-based working was proposed, with advice on running group addresses.

01 · Zones

Named places

Communication zones called “Creative Avenue”, “Learning Park” and “Bridge cafe” anchor the floors.

02 · Work areas

Crossing paths

Layouts where routes and sightlines cross, and quick-meeting spaces, encourage flat communication in the work areas too.
