Bosch Shibuya Head Office 10F "The NEST"

This is a renovation project for Bosch Corporation's Shibuya Headquarters. We were in charge of planning, design, layout, and construction to renovate one floor on the 10th floor into a communication space. From our experience of renovating the 4th floor of our headquarters building into a communication space called "RE/SP," we felt it was important to create a mechanism for employees to interact with each other. Based on the concept of "SCRAMBLE for MEET UP," we aimed to create a place where diverse employees could gather and interact on a daily basis. In order to express the intermingling through encounters and exchanges, just like in Shibuya, where Bosch's headquarters is located, we collaborated with various artists to create a space that allows for open interaction. We also participated in the phase of creating concept design, such as logo concept design and event planning and management.

[Customer issues/themes]

With the aim of stimulating communication and generating innovation within the company, we were asked to concept design a space that would allow interaction from a different perspective than the office floor.

【solution】

We proposed a spatial configuration that would allow each employee to regain their vitality and deepen their connections. Specifically, with the aim of creating opportunities for communication that transcend the boundaries of age and department, we divided the area into six major functions, including a counter where employees can have casual conversations over a cup of coffee, a place to sit and relax on sofas, and a space to get active and refresh. By proactively incorporating furniture and art that would spark communication, we also aimed to create a place where spontaneous ideas that are difficult to generate in work areas can be born. In addition, we also held a product displays that allowed employees to experience Bosch's DNA, providing a place that would provide hints for creating innovation.
