Zero Renovation Unveils New Office in Harajuku

Zero Renovation, a prominent company specializing in the purchase, renovation, and construction of used residences, has officially launched its new office in the heart of Harajuku in Shibuya, Tokyo. Set to open on January 25, 2026, this new location is situated in a vintage mansion that dates back to 1965, a period that marked the beginnings of condominium living in Japan. The architectural style of the new office reflects a blend of history and modern design, creating a workplace that encourages both clients and employees to visit, thus rethinking what it means to have an office in an era of full remote work.

The choice of location is not merely aesthetic; it embodies Zero Renovation's commitment to sustainable practices through its renovation initiatives. The office has been thoughtfully designed to facilitate a community where people can gather and collaborate, situated amid the serene backdrop of Zelkova trees and bustling city life.

Employees and clients alike can find themselves in an environment that supports deep conversation and thoughtful engagement. By integrating workspaces with natural elements and modern amenities, Zero Renovation seeks to enhance the overall experience of being in the office.
