HIMARAYA Library
Bringing Sports Closer with a Top-Floor Lounge and Library
Even as offices are showing trends toward smaller and smaller sizes, there is also great value in the effective utilization of open spaces. We have constructed a new combination lounge and library on the top floor of the Head Office building of HIMARAYA Co., Ltd., a company that provides sporting equipment and outdoor goods across the country, in Gifu prefecture.

Based on its vision of “becoming the world leader in spreading sports to everyone”, our goal was to create an environment which could bring sports closer to its employees and allow them to gain a variety of different viewpoints for doing their work.
As soon as the door to the entrance is opened, bookcases lined with Western books related to sports can be seen spreading forth into the space. Glass showcases displaying products and precious items are intended to give a feel for the company’s history while acting as striking accents.
