JTOWER LINK STATION" where interaction and concentration intersect.

JTOWER, a leader in the infrastructure sharing business, built a new office to promote organizational growth and deepen internal communication, and introduced ABW for the first time to create a space that supports diverse work styles. A "hub for exchange" that resonates with the city's sense of speed and expands connections has been completed.

Evolution of the way of working by introducing ABW

With an eye to expanding the workforce and strengthening cooperation between departments, we introduced ABW (Activity Based Working) for the first time, which enables a variety of work styles. This flexible work style, which allows employees to choose the most appropriate location depending on the nature of their work and their mood, has realized both autonomous work and natural communication.

Five clearly functionally differentiated areas

The space consists of five zones: “CO-WORK,” “FOCUS,” “LABO,” “MEETING,” and the “CIRCUIT” that connects them. Each area is assigned a role according to its intended use, and is designed to bring out the best performance when you want to concentrate on work or when you want to collaborate.

CIRCUIT" incorporates a sense of urban speed

Taking advantage of its location in a glass-walled building along the main street, a circular walkway named “Circuit” is located near the windows. The area, which is next to the bustle of the city and unsuitable for business, is transformed into a place for movement and interaction, promoting casual encounters and short meetings that transcend departmental boundaries. The passageway is a mechanism that encourages a psychological switch between the two areas.

Design that highlights the role of each space

CO-WORK” features a pantry and booth seating to create a warm, café-like atmosphere. The “FOCUS” area is a space suitable for concentration, with calm colors and wide office seats and individual booths. The “MEETING” area was designed to express the individuality of the company, using navy and champagne gold, the corporate colors, as the base color scheme to complement the other areas. The space also incorporates recycled materials and a biotope to achieve both environmental awareness and a sense of innovation.

Where the purity of the space draws people to it.

Now that telecommuting has become widespread, offices need to be more than just a place to work; they need to be “meaningful spaces” that people want to gather in. In this office, the purity of the experience in each space is enhanced to create an environment that makes people want to visit with a purpose. It functions as a “gathering place” for a new era, responding to changes in the way people work.
