This office renovation project for one of the global leading law firms began with extensive consultation, space utilization analysis, interviews, and workshops. This process, together with a shift to embrace remote work accelerated by COVID, has reaffirmed the importance of flexibly adapting to future trends.
The law firm’s new workplace embodies the new work concept, encourages collaboration, and reinforces its DE&I values. Rather than being sequestered away in private rooms, lawyers and office staff can choose where to work, from fixed seating to a more agile area, a quiet area and focus rooms, all in an open space with panoramic views of Tokyo. It also responds to business shifts and provides amenities that support diverse ways of working, such as a work cafe, video conferencing systems, a content studio for shooting videos, as well as a parents’ room. The firm’s inclusive culture is expressed in the interior design as well, which uses colorful accents that gradually change from zone to zone.
