About the Project

Overview The new base of Yamaya Communications, which promotes Kyushu's exciting food culture with a focus on communication creation. The facility combines a new factory that consolidates four old factories, an open head office that encourages active interaction, and a restaurant, market, and factory tour area to welcome customers.
The head office will consist of an entrance lobby where visitors are welcomed with Video, office areas that allow for a variety of working styles, a clean and easy-to-use R&D center, and a gym space to manage employee health.
Issues/Themes To create an office that is unified and has good visibility, and encourages active communication. To create an efficient and easy-to-use layout in line with the reduction in the head office floor space.
Space Solution/Realization We implemented a consistent system that covered everything from planning, Design, Layout, planning, Production, Construction, system and content production to operational support for the head office, restaurant, market and entire factory tour area, to bring the concept to life.
We have created an environment that will improve employee performance by setting up areas according to working styles, creating a unified space without partitions and ensuring privacy with shelves and plants, and introducing a bowl-shaped presentation space where people naturally gather and discussions can overlap.
Design for Environment Safety design: Consideration has been given to safety aspects such as preventing fixtures and furniture from falling over and rounding the table tops.
