Professional Bank — Tokyo: four rooms on three floors become one

Concept

Flexible

The firm wanted an office that could flex in future, full free address, and room for the 20 to 30 candidates who visit every day.

A grid layout was proposed to absorb future growth.

01 · Heights

Changing eye levels

High tables, high chairs and low sofas give the long, narrow floor changes in height, so sightlines differ seat to seat; at a high chair you talk eye to eye with someone standing.

02 · Rooms

Reception for candidates

Reception and meeting rooms with ICT were designed to suit different group sizes and purposes.
