The New Headquarters of I-grid Solutions: A Home for Innovation
I-grid Solutions, a notable player in the renewable energy sector, has officially announced the relocation of its headquarters as part of its growth and organizational expansion strategy. Effective May 26, 2025, the new office will be located in the bustling Toranomon area of Minato-ku, Tokyo, moving from its previous location in Chiyoda-ku.
Innovative Workplace Strategy: Activity Based Working (ABW)
The new Toranomon office reflects a commitment to maximizing employee performance and offers a groundbreaking workplace strategy known as Activity Based Working (ABW). With this approach, employees will have the liberty to choose the most productive environment for their tasks. The office is designed around four distinct zones, encouraging dynamic interactions and enhancing operational efficiency through meticulously crafted spaces that facilitate both internal and external communication.
Concept of “Circulation of People, Words, and Things”
The ethos of I-grid Solutions is deeply rooted in a mindset of continuous challenge and learning. The office's guiding principle, dubbed “Circulation of People, Words, and Things,” illustrates how learning can be a shared experience: "Learn from people, apply knowledge to practices, derive insights from experiences, and pass that knowledge onwards." This cyclical learning process is integral to fostering an environment where every individual can continuously evolve, creating a vibrant culture that aligns with the company's corporate motto of moving "faster than change." As I-grid aims for further business growth, this innovative approach to office design is expected to cultivate new ideas and practices.
Grassroots Office Enhancement Project
To enrich the workplace experience, I-grid Solutions has launched an initiative dubbed the ‘New Office Enhancement Project’. This collaboration invites employees, irrespective of their tenure or department, to contribute ideas for improving the office space based on their individual experiences. This initiative promises a workspace that truly meets the needs and preferences of its users.
Designing Functional Zones
The new office layout has been inspired by the company's business vision, “R.E.A.L. New Energy” for a world where green energy circulates. The office features four functional zones:
- - Zone R: Relation Zone – Fostering teamwork and collaboration
- - Zone E: Energy Zone – Designed for focused work, energized by natural light
- - Zone A: Active Work Zone – Encouraging movement and flexibility
- - Zone L: Library Zone – A quiet space for reflection and learning
Meetings in Nature-Inspired Spaces
Reflecting its business policy of pursuing renewable energy without harming nature, I-grid has named its meeting rooms after elements of nature. This intention is highlighted in the lounge entrance, where curtains flutter with sunlight, symbolizing the emergence of sustainable energy for the future.
