In relocating its Tokyo office, advertising, marketing and public relations powerhouse Ogilvy & Mather sought to clearly convey its creativity while embracing the next-generation of workplace thinking. The result is an activity-based, loft-like workplace centered on the company’s core value of communication. The plan is predominantly open, with long tables providing collaborative stations and clear views across the space. A unifying element dubbed “the band” runs the length of the space, providing multiple settings for collaboration, socializing and support functions. Large-scale murals and artwork provide color and pop while helping to orient visitors and employees.
