At Kokuyo's headquarters, "THE CAMPUS," the employee attendance rate has recovered to pre-pandemic levels.However, we kept having online meetings in the office. As a result, Kokuyo's creative strength, driven by "Co⁻Creation with empathy," was not fully realized, leading to a decrease in employee engagement. To address this issue, two new areas were created: CREATION PLACE "BOXX" and HIVERARY. The goal is to create a cycle where employees come to the office, feel connected with their colleagues, and experience contributing to society, ultimately leading to increased engagement.

This is a relocation project for five companies of the SINANEN Holdings Group, a comprehensive energy services company. The new headquarters building is located inShinagawa, the site of the company's founding, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the company's founding and to make a new leap forward. The concept is "FUN BASE," an office where employees and guests want to go. As hybrid work has taken root after Corona, we aimed to create a place where employees and their guests can go to work in a positive way, interact positively in a realistic environment, realize new ways of working, and where both employees and guests become fans.

"SoloTime" is a satellite office that supports flexible work styles that are unrestricted by time and location to accommodate diversifying lifestyles such as child-rearing, community activities, and various family forms. Yokohama, where the new office will be located, is a famous tourist and business district and was the first port in Japan to be opened to foreign trade. The design is reminiscent of the cityscape, with its exotic atmosphere mixed with urban elements, while softly enveloping the workers in a SoloTime-like design.

CULTURE SNACK was a public event held by KOKUYO in the Shinagawa area of Tokyo's business district for four days from 11/27~11/30/2024. The concept was “Redesigning 100 hours in the business district". We opened the ground level of the office building to the city, invited a total of about 250 POPUP food stalls and marche, and converted a part of the office into a park-like place to stay while scattering public furniture. In Japan, the vitality of office districts is declining due to the decline in the working population and the spread of hybrid work styles. By redefining the business district as a place that nurtures the culture of the city, rather than just a place for commuting and work, we hope to transform it into a bright and energetic place where people can feel attached to. The name “CULTURE SNACK” reflects our hope that people will enjoy the city's culture as if it were a snack.
