SEGA XD — Nishi-Shinjuku: a coffee stand at the door, gadgets in the meeting room

Concept

An entrance you are allowed to sit in

The entrance is open, and it has a bar counter with a coffee stand that staff may use freely. At lunch it stops being a reception and becomes somewhere to sit.

The company’s business is gamification — designing the mechanics that make people want to keep going — and the office reads as an argument that the same thinking applies to a working day.

01 · Reception rooms

Rooms in different tastes

Guests are shown into rooms decorated in several different styles, and there is a large conference room fitted with multiple monitors.

02 · Family-restaurant seats

Booths for a casual meeting

Beside the formal rooms are booth seats in the style of a Japanese family restaurant, for meetings held over a coffee rather than across a table.

03 · Work area

Wide desks, and space anyone can take

Every member of staff has a wide desk of their own, and there is open space that anyone can work from when the desk is not the right place.

04 · Meeting rooms

Book the room that fits

Internal meetings are held in rooms booked according to what the meeting is. The sofa space is stocked with the newest gadgets, which staff are free to pick up and play with.
