AISIN, responsible for the creation of products related to Move (mobility), introduced the theme "Move = Office that Moves People's Hearts," with the goal of creating an office environment conducive to open and collaborative work dynamics.
Taking into account the balance with working from home, the office is positioned as a space for diverse dialogues, such as "dialogues with guests," "dialogues among top management," and “dialogues with counterparts online." Notably, the social space designated for dialogues among employees incorporates natural light and provides a close connection to the trees and landscape of the outdoor terrace, symbolizing the theme of this project.
One distinctive zoning feature involves allocating a separate corridor area apart from the workspace, accommodating facilities and tall storage units to ensure an open atmosphere within the workspace without impeding lines of sight. Yet, to achieve a harmony between openness and privacy, meeting rooms are arranged with random window layouts to control lines of sight.
Within the expansive workspace, rather than distinctly delineating the boundaries of each organization, a flexible layout system was adopted, incorporating intentionally blurred borders and a 3m x 3m grid. This approach, characterized by ambiguous boundaries and adaptability, addresses the swiftly evolving business landscape and fosters interconnectedness between organizations.
