HASEKO Corporation
A Space That Captures the Landscape and Expands the Horizon of Work
To commemorate the 80th anniversary of its founding, Haseko Corporation embarked on a transformative project to renew the lobby of its headquarters. The design concept—Eternal Space with Endless Lines—expresses both the company’s legacy and vision. Flowing curves meander continuously through the space, symbolizing timelessness and evoking a sense of enduring movement and growth.
At the heart of the reception area, a sweeping wall of wood louvers envelops the space, eliminating harsh edges and establishing a soft, unified environment. Against the organic fluidity of the architecture, linear furniture is arranged like a landscape—creating visual balance and offering users the freedom to find their own place within the space.
A refined palette of textured stone, metal, natural leather, and aging wood materials reflects both respect for tradition and anticipation for the future. These tactile surfaces invite users to sense the passage of time while anchoring the present in craftsmanship and warmth. Acoustic challenges of the former design were addressed through integrated sound-absorbing materials, ensuring a calm and comfortable soundscape reminiscent of a hotel lounge.
Where rows of meeting rooms once stood, the design introduces a bold and green Botanical Lounge, redefining the space as an open, green meeting area. Elevated planters serve as visual dividers, subtly managing privacy while contributing to the tranquil atmosphere. These elements create a new kind of workplace—one that is both grounded in history and open to the future.
