In the center of the office, there is a main office with a large tabletop (up to 70 seats) that can be easily used by one or many people. Around it are collaboration areas, solo workspaces, communication areas, and magnet spaces.

Instead of creating a private office, the branch manager's seat was set up in the communication area, shortening the distance between managers and regular employees, allowing them to communicate with each other about the situation at the workplace while also saving space.

This project involved breaking down the invisible barriers between organizations, creating connections between employees, and linking individual strengths to organizational results, while exploring new ways of working together with Telwell East Japan.
We feel that we were able to bring the project to fruition based on Thelwell's concept of "a strategic office that accelerates change in work styles." In the completed new office, the desired cross-organizational exchange has been created, resulting in new collaborations. We are very honored to have been able to participate in such a project.
