Production Technology

Tenant areas of the building are seamlessly connected to the shared entrance. From the entrance, visitors can move to the elevator and conference room for scheduled meetings solely using facial recognition technology. Similarly, employees move through the building using facial recognition and mobile FeliCa, a contactless communication platform for cell phones. The Bitkey office has a free address system, with various types of seating available for use and bookable via a smartphone app.

Design Challenge

An in house technology work hub in the office eliminates divisions between teams and encourages collaboration.

Project Duration

The project started in August 2020 in Tokyo and finished in August 2021

Operation Flow

These include 29 solo work booths and 6 four person work booths. In addition, information on the location of employees in the office, congestion levels in each area, and conference-room use is presented visually on tablets and monitors inside the office. The office is also equipped with a product development lab, where the development team creates products in close collaboration with the sales and support teams.

Research

In addition, by stacking transparent logo pattern graphics within the office, a structure of infinite patterns is created within which people can move freely. This layering is a spatial expression of Bitkey crossover workstyle, in which overlapping work responsibilities encourage innovation.

Inspiration

The office design is intended to promote a constant awareness of Bitkey's services at every point within the space. Large curtains hung along circulation routes reflect the intent and colors of Bitkey’s products, enhancing brand image and enabling a varied use of space with comfortable transitions between zones. The distinctive communication lounge incorporates company culture throughout its design, serving as a place to share Bitkey’s central message of connection.
