Taiju Life — Tokyo: “Gather at the office, gather at the great tree”

Concept

The great tree

The design concept, “Gather at the office, gather at the great tree”, plays on the company name, taiju, a great tree.

The office is meant to strengthen teams, let people meet across departments and be a place people want to work.

01 · Sessions

Fifty people, six groups

About 50 people from each department joined workshops in six groups — such as management, sales and customer service — to discuss how they work now and want to work.

02 · Plan

Work that varies by job

The sessions made clear that places to work should vary by job, and the layout followed: efficient zones alongside spots for chance encounters.
