Comment
This project involved an office renovation aimed at revitalizing communication across departments and job functions, shifting from assigned seats to group desking, and in a sense challenging a work style that is uncharacteristic of a general contractor. We struggled to create space for this new way of working while ensuring enough desks for all employees, but with the understanding of our clients, we were able to create an open and communication-friendly office.
Furthermore, we've incorporated graphics that evoke the four seasons of Hokkaido and natural materials sourced from the region, aiming to create an image that reflects the essence of Hokkaido and our construction company.
We look forward to continuing our relationship with our clients and helping them upgrade their offices to create even better workspaces.
