Growth X Partners Group Lab “Sky AGORA”

This is a new office relocation project for GrowthX Partners, Inc., a company that provides digital transformation support to businesses.
We have relocated our headquarters to the 48th floor of the Shinjuku Nomura Building, and with the aim of creating "a place where employees can be happy and improve their performance," we have designed it around the basic concept of being not just a place to work, but a communication space where all employees can gather, promoting encounters and discoveries.


[Social issues/customer issues/requests]
COVID-19 has dramatically changed our lives, with more people working and eating from home and more flexible working arrangements, but it has also called into question the very purpose of the office.
While it is possible to work remotely without any problems, the president wanted everyone to come to the office. The new office needed to make coming to the office enjoyable and increase motivation and engagement.


[Solution]
We explored and designed an office that is not simply a place to work, but one that has communication at its core that makes people want to gather together naturally.
The space is filled with plenty of mechanisms that encourage active action and spark communication, such as a lounge space where you can work while playing, and a space where you can freely customize the furniture layout to suit your purpose.
In order to foster pride in employees and increase motivation, artwork by Leslie David, an up-and-coming art director active in Paris, has been boldly placed throughout the space, making it a fun place to come to work. We proposed the original name "Sky AGORA," combining AGORA, which represents a "square" as a symbol of a gathering place, and the location's high-rise location on the 48th floor.
