PORT INNOVATION LAB — Shinjuku: Portland style for a young venture

PORT is a venture company growing in many directions, with most staff in their 20s and early 30s. To attract and keep talented people, it wanted an office that broadcasts what makes PORT itself. KOKUYO designed its 450 m² office in Shinjuku, finished in 2015, in “Portland style”.

Places along the way

The space is treated like a town with many places to stay, so staff work comfortably in their own way and visitors feel it.

02 · Graphics

Illustrations and signs

Exhibits, illustrations explaining the areas, floor signs, wall graphics and movable furniture live together, creating scenes like those you meet walking through a town.
