This corporate interior fit-out for Wallenius Wilhelmsen’s Tokyo office featured a logical separation of spaces that met the needs of each one of their staff. A ‘ship’ composed of meeting rooms and focus spaces runs down the length of the scheme, dividing the brightly-lit desk zone near the facade and the utility zone near the core. The bow of this ship culminates in a breakout and free-address space. Here, the prevalence of calming cement-textured surfaces gives way to a warm and soft space treated in neutral hues.
