DOCON CO.,LTD.　Head Office Building

Clarification of requirements

Because the project had to be carried out simultaneously with building construction, we needed not only an interior plan, but also a plan considering the client’s interdepartmental coordination and the overall construction plan, as well as schedule management over a long period of time. Through workshops and surveys, we identified their latent needs and traditional ways of working, and then considered the most suitable approach for everything from design to office management.

Concept design

Based on the concept of the construction plan, the project was centered around a creative office design suitable for the new era.

Basic plan

We considered the stacking plan carefully, as there were ten floors. We put together the spatial plan from various aspects, such as stimulation of interaction between departments, convenience, maintenance of independence of individual departments, external branding, and the use of spaces for multiple purposes.

Implementation design

We developed the design according to the characteristics of each area, such as the entrance and visitor areas with branding in mind, the multi-purpose area for stimulating creativity, and office spaces tailored to the work styles of individual departments.

Cost adjustment

Our team members worked as one and put effort into ensuring the quality of the building as a whole, including design, equipment, and management, by implementing cost adjustments not only for the interior design, but also for the new building construction itself. As for furniture, we controlled the quality and the cost by calling for bids.

Work environment development

Since the interior design was carried out simultaneously with the construction of the building itself, we implemented strict schedule management and conducted pre-delivery inspections to the fullest extent possible. Through on-site inspections, we completed the project smoothly by correcting and adjusting differences from the working drawings.

Management support

To promote transformation of ways of working, we considered and introduced features, such as the knowledge sharing space and the open presentation space, which would bring about new work situations. Furthermore, not only did we provide for project support such as the multi-purpose use of the cafeteria, but we also developed a dedicated office space for employees visiting the head office on a business trip.
