The From Showa Dori Expands with New Private Spaces!
In a move to cater to the diverse needs of today’s workforce, The From, managed by The Building Co., has introduced new private and semi-private workspaces on the second floor of its Showa Dori location, effective
December 6, 2025. This expansion reflects the growing demand for conducive work environments among freelancers, remote workers, and startups seeking a creative hub to enhance their productivity.
Responding to the Voice of Worker's Needs
As the nature of work evolves, individuals are increasingly seeking environments that allow for focused work without the distractions often present in open-plan offices. The new private space initiative at The From was born out of requests from users who expressed the need for:
Personalized environments: A space where they can leave their work unattended without worry.
Cost-effective locations: An affordable base for emerging entrepreneurs.
*
Increased amenities: A heightened number of semi-private spaces equipped with monitors for ease of work.
Starting December 6, The From will unveil
13 new private rooms designed to be quiet and conducive for concentration. Each is furnished to ensure comfort for long working hours while being equipped with necessary power outlets and ergonomic seating. The implementation of a smart lock system ensures security, allowing individuals to step away confident that their work is safe.
A Creative Atmosphere with the Gallery Concept
The second floor has been designed under the inspiring concept of “Gallery x Coworking.” With a primarily white aesthetic, the space fosters an open yet calming atmosphere perfect for creative thinking. Artworks displayed on the walls will change periodically, enabling visitors to engage with fresh and inspiring visuals. This aspect of The From not only adds energy but also makes work engaging as art and profession coexist harmoniously.
Features of the New Spaces
Private Rooms
The new private rooms have been developed to give users a dedicated space to focus entirely on their work or studies. Each desk is spacious and equipped with adequate lighting for a stress-free experience. With large windows allowing natural light to fill the area, the environment remains energetic yet serene, enhancing creativity.
Semi-Private Desks
Anticipating high demand, The From has significantly increased the number of semi-private desks. These areas come with free-use monitors, perfect for multi-display setups for design, programming, or document creation tasks. Users can now enjoy greater accessibility to these valuable workspaces, designed specifically to minimize distractions while maintaining a level of privacy.
