CREATION CAMP TENNOZ by KOKUYO Co., Ltd. (Japan)
1. Project Summary
In order to revitalize the city of Tennoz, Tokyo, the client, who had a new vision for the city of “creating a start-up town,” created an incubation center to support start-ups on their own.
2. Purpose of Use
Startups that pass the screening process and move in can use the incubation center free of charge for a period of two years. Cooperating companies from various genres are also participating, and a system has been established to support startups.
3. Design Concept
The concept of the space is a “club room.
Based on the concept that “many of the problems startups face can be solved by talking with other startups,” we aimed to create a space where fellow startups can gather and grow through friendly competition.
Each startup in the facility is assigned a carpet and shelves, which are designed to allow each company to maintain its own area and worldview, while gently blending into the whole.
