Introduction & Project Brief

(Tokyo) Office Relocation – With the expansion of its business in Japan, a European investment fund established a new office in Tokyo.
AXES Partners delivered global standards of material quality and performance, adapted to the Japan-specific context.

  • Concurrent coordination with base building construction (B works)

 

Solutions

  • Centralized material import and logistics management in collaboration with partner suppliers
  • Engaged international acoustic consultants to fine-tune specifications until performance targets were met
  • Developed a phased schedule enabling parallel execution with base building works

 

Results

  • Achieved a faithful reproduction of the global design while delivering acoustic performance exceeding Japanese building standards
  • Minimized operational impact across multiple phases (e.g., overnight and weekend transitions)
  • Optimized visitor and workspace circulation, enhancing the overall brand experience
