Workplace Rising

The company offices are places of community that inspire and promote a sense of wellbeing and wonder. The immersive experience is deepened through mixing the functions of food, social, meeting and working, and the absence of anything resembling a desk.

The multi-storey vertical campus retains the company’s sense of community in a space that reflects the culture and context of Japan. Shibuya, home to the world’s two busiest railway stations and widely considered the heart of Tokyo’s youth culture, is a continuous flow of people, with glowing video screens and a tangible buzz. Thirty-four original artworks by local artists draw the city into the tower and help make the spaces feel genuinely Japanese.

A network of timber stairs (subtly reflecting a long tradition of craft) is the key connector: it is here – at the stair – that all of the transitions happen, giving people ample choices of settings that promote engagement and well-being.
