Klein Dytham Architecture has designed a sophisticating office interior design for TBWA\Hakuhodo company. Amusement park was the main ideas developed to caught the identity of the companies as a fun and creative global advertising company.
The office was developed from a previous old bowling alley in a large 8 story amusement complex in downtown Tokyo, into a modern office space collaborating between the 2 agencies and the designers.
Bowling alleys are a great preferences because they are column free. Doubled height space was gained by removing the suspended ceiling. The disruption court runs through the middle of the space like a central park and a series of shelters for meeting rooms, project rooms and director’s offices generate a small townscape in the space, where the raised areas on top of the shelters make for pleasant breakout spaces.
The office is entered on the 6th floor of the building. This floor acts as reception, gallery and meeting space for external visitors. A wide stair descends onto the main floor arriving in the disruption court cafe area. Stepped seating and a large plasma screen allow this space to be a very flexible presentation space. The space is not only used by T\H but also for collaborative events with their clients such as receptions, product launches often resulting in happy parties.
