Based on the concept of "NEXT HOME," this new office building project will be the foundation for the next generation for Yamaichi Jisho, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary since its founding. In response to the request from the company's president, Watanabe, that "we don't want a building that's just cool. We want a building that's alive," we held multiple workshops for all employees and the preparatory committee, and filled every corner of the new office with the thoughts of each employee, fostering a sense of it being "our office." Through this project, the motivation of each employee has changed, and new interactions have been created both inside and outside the company. An original "office for ourselves" has been born here, which will help Yamaichi Jisho solve the issues they expect from the company, such as communication, recruiting, and inheriting their DNA.

To realize concept design that would convey Tetra Pak's high level of technical capability, the entrance lobby that welcomes guests has been designed with three core elements in concept design: a sharp shape reminiscent of folded paper, which is the root of the company's business, linear lighting that emphasizes these folds, and pure white, which expresses the pride they take in safety as a company involved with food. The showroom, where actual business negotiations take place, follows the above concepts and also incorporates a woodgrain color scheme that expresses Tetra Pak's approach to sustainability.

In displays, we used symbolic displays techniques reminiscent of aluminum extrusion technology, contrasts of light and shadow, and immersive video production to convey the philosophy and the commitment and thoughts that have been put into the products through everything that can be touched and seen. Rather than a one-way information transmission, we appealed to emotions by expressing it in an artistic displays method that embodies the philosophy of "Architectural Products," which combines technology and beauty, and concept design the information as a medium that would allow employees to speak in their own words and deepen understanding and relationships with business partners. We aimed to create a place where all visitors could experience YKK AP's philosophy, empathize with its thoughts and values, and build trusting relationships as partners.
