VOLT KOJIMACHI PLUS

Clarification of requirements

We considered the direction of the project while clarifying requirements so as to figure out what we could do to create (or “to plus”) added value to the new office building as the first of the client’s new “VORT plus,” a series of office buildings.

Concept design

Since the property was located in the Hanzomon-Kojimachi area where there are many furnished offices, we considered the direction of the project by visiting and analyzing competing buildings. We formulated the concept following what we saw as a latent need for the “luxury of being able to casually choose where to work.”

Basic plan

We developed the spatial design based on the concept design. We tried to differentiate the property from competing buildings by allowing diverse and flexible ways of working on all floors, including the common area on the 1st floor, furnished office spaces, and the reference floor.

Implementation design

Since each floor had a different floor plan, we meticulously considered cohesiveness. Moreover, we put effort into expressing material affluence while maintaining the initial concept by holding many meetings with our members and other relevant companies to discuss the design in detail, such as interior materials and fixed furniture.

Cost adjustment

We conducted cost adjustment by thoroughly considering features necessary for an office building with about 100 m2 per floor, as well as design that makes use of the building’s characteristics. We also incorporated alternatives as needed while maintaining the level of design sophistication and material grades that the client requested. We brought the well-developed design plan into reality by focusing on the things that we should invest in.

Environment development

In terms of layout and design, no major changes were made after the initial proposal. We succeeded in completing the project smoothly by handling all processes in-house, including project management, design, and construction work.
