This renovation project for a local TV station's headquarters was designed with the understanding that a diverse group of people from various departments work in many different ways. We analyzed the unique characteristics of each department and set an optimal theme for each floor, which guided the design process.

• 1F: This floor is the symbolic heart of the office, leveraging the spaciousness of the existing entrance hall. It features a large monitor and a distinctive stepped floor. The tiered area includes meeting spaces and a communal bookshelf. Its different levels make it adaptable for a variety of events, fostering a space where employees can interact with each other, as well as with external business partners and the public, to create new collaborations. Digital signage is installed throughout the floor to display program and event information, and the bookshelf holds books recommended by employees, transforming the area from a simple workspace into a hub for information sharing and communication.
• 2F: This is a hybrid workspace that incorporates a partial free-address system. The layout, centered around circular desks, can be used for both daily free-address work and meetings without needing to be rearranged. Desks for departments like editing and art are functionally arranged around the central desks.
• 3F: While departmental zones are separated, furniture with counters is placed in common circulation areas to encourage inter-departmental interaction. We also created a counter in the corridor that previously divided the new and old buildings to consolidate information like flyers, a thoughtful design choice to gently connect the flow of people between the two sections.
• 4F: Before meetings, people can use benches for quick huddles or breaks. The storage for office supplies and paper is designed as an integrated piece of furniture with organic wooden louvers, providing both function and a cohesive aesthetic.
• 6F: This floor is inspired by a rooftop garden, with scattered plant gardens that subtly create distinct areas within a large, neutral space. It aims to be a floor where employees can freely choose their environment, offering a variety of settings: counter seats with a beautiful view of the Tateyama mountain range, cafe-style tables, private meeting rooms, sofa seating, a deck area to stretch out, and a kitchen counter for simple cooking. It is designed for various uses, including free-address work, refreshing during lunch or breaks, meetings, program recordings, and company events.

To realize this detailed design, we conducted thorough research and interviews, from top executives to individual departments. The feedback from these sessions allowed us to achieve the intricate, floor-specific designs you see here.
