Leverages Sakuragaoka

Designing a Nomadic Space That Inspires Collaboration

Leverages Co., Ltd., a leading force in the IT and medical staffing industries, continues to drive progress through its wide-ranging talent services. As the company expands into two new floors in the SHIBUYA Tower at Shibuya Sakura Stage, it once again entrusted the office design to DRAFT, following their successful collaboration on the 2020 headquarters relocation.

While carrying forward Leverages’ legacy of contributing to emotional well-being in society, the new design intentionally distinguishes itself from the sleek, modern aesthetic of the headquarters. The space incorporates organic, flowing materials, such as custom furniture adorned with greenery, water-like mirrors, and translucent glass blocks, creating a fresh and dynamic atmosphere. By integrating elements not typically seen in conventional offices, such as rattan-style sofas and resort-inspired garden furniture, the space establishes a distinctive new identity.

From the reception area, where a lush green wall brings the quiet strength of nature into the city, the space opens into a broad, wall-free zone. Conceived as a plaza where employees and visitors can naturally gather, the design intentionally blurs the boundaries between zones to support flexible ways of working. Textured materials and indirect lighting in the ceilings and floors introduce a play of light and shadow, adding contrast and rhythm to the seamless expanse.
At the center of the two work areas, a cafe zone serves as a natural hub for interaction. The space radiates from a central counter and is dotted with box sofas, cafe tables, and single lounge chairs that encourage casual breaks, focused solo work, or relaxed team meetings. Designed for freedom and versatility, this dynamic environment aspires to be a vibrant hub for idea generation and spontaneous collaboration.

Hibiya Central Building

Design That Embraces the Passage of Time

In the ever-changing landscape of West Shimbashi and Uchisaiwaicho, where redevelopment projects constantly reshape the city, the Hibiya Central Building stands as an example of preserving and revitalizing an aging structure. Originally completed in 1983, this office building was recently renovated by architect Taiju Yamashita, who chose to honor its original character while adapting it for the present day.
