About the Project

Overview This project involved relocating the head office to JP Tower Osaka (21st and 22nd floors), which was developed right in front of Osaka Station (on the former site of the Osaka Central Post Office). Aiming to transform the traditional "Workplace" into a "WorkCampus," a place where people can stimulate and improve each other through proactive communication and make new discoveries, we created a new base where people can feel proud and happy to belong to the company.
Issues/Themes Now that work and life environments are changing rapidly and the place of work is no longer limited to the office, the purpose of the office's existence is to get to the bottom of what can only be done in a real office space and to embody that purpose.
Space Solution/Realization Along the circulation path of the work space, we have implemented spaces that can accommodate any situation, regardless of the number of people or how they are used, including not only partitioned meeting rooms, but also diner-style open booths, a high counter for casual conversation, a presentation room in the cafe area, and a theater space. These have become mechanisms that encourage real communication and induce serendipity.
Design for Environment Universal design: The design complies with Osaka City 's barrier-free regulations.
