Commercial
Space Japan Office
Project Overview
The Space Japan Office project supports a commercial workplace specification shaped by Japanese-aesthetic design considerations. Offices in this idiom typically draw on materials grounded in Japanese craft and manufacturing tradition: refined patterns, considered colour palettes, and surface textures that reference the Japanese decorative tradition rather than imitate it from a distance.
Goodrich Global supplied flooring across the office.
Goodrich Specification
Flooring was specified for the workspace, with selection from the Goodrich range chosen to carry the Japanese-aesthetic design language. The Sangetsu connection — Goodrich Global has been part of Sangetsu Corporation since 2017 — gives the range direct access to Japanese-manufactured product references, so the restrained patterning and tonal subtlety the brief called for could be drawn from a genuine Japanese manufacturing tradition rather than approximated. That authenticity reads consistently across a large floorplate, where a less coherent palette would fragment.
Beyond the aesthetic fit, the flooring specification carries fire compliance, slip resistance, and durability appropriate to commercial office use. It meets the practical demands of a working floorplate — circulation wear at corridors and lift lobbies, rolling-chair traffic at workstations, and routine cleaning — without compromising the considered finish, so the design intent survives years of daily occupancy. That balance of restrained appearance and commercial-grade performance is precisely what a Japanese-aesthetic workplace needs: the floor has to look quiet and refined while quietly absorbing hard, continuous use, and a finish chosen for looks alone would soon show its limits across a busy office.
Project Outcome
The Space Japan Office flooring specification is in operational service. The project illustrates how the Sangetsu group connection supports Japanese-aesthetic commercial specifications across the region, pairing authentic Japanese design references with commercial-grade technical performance in a single, serviceable floor.
