Bosch Shibuya Head Office 10F "The NEST"

Renovation project for Bosch Corporation's Shibuya headquarters. We were in charge of planning, design, layout and construction for the renovation of one floor on the 10th floor into a communication space. Based on our experience of renovating the 4th floor of the Bosch headquarters building into a communication space "RE/SP", we thought it was important to create an opportunity for interaction among employees. Based on the concept of "SCRAMBLE for MEET UP" (gather people, hatch new ideas, and fly out again), we designed the space to create a place where a diverse range of employees can gather and interact on a daily basis. To express the mixing of people through encounters and exchanges, like Shibuya, where Bosch's headquarters is located, the space was composed in collaboration with various artists to create an open and airy concept design where people can interact openly. We also took part in the creation phase, including the logo concept design and event planning and management.

[Customer issues/themes]

Aiming to revitalize communication and create innovation within the company, we were asked to concept design a place where people could interact from a different perspective than on the office floor.

【solution】

We proposed a space configuration that would allow each employee to regain vitality and deepen connections. Specifically, with the aim of creating opportunities for communication that transcends boundaries of age and department, we will create counters where you can have casual conversations with a cup of coffee in one hand, places where you can relax on sofas, and spaces where you can exercise and refresh yourself. We divided the area into 6 major functions. By actively incorporating furniture and art that serve as opportunities for communication, we also aimed to create a place where accidental ideas that are difficult to come up with in the office area are born. We also have product displays where you can come into contact with Bosch's DNA, and it is also a place to give hints for creating innovation.
