Lifestyle-proposing interior brand Francfranc handled the spatial coordination for part of the 10th floor and the branch manager's office on the 9th floor of NTT Docomo Business Co., Ltd. (formerly NTT Communications Co., Ltd.; hereafter NTT Docomo Business) Hokkaido Branch during its renovation.
Responding to NTT Docomo Business Hokkaido Branch's goals of revitalizing internal communication and creating a space employees 'want to visit,' the proposal focused on the theme of a place where people from different departments naturally gather.
**'Time Lounge ~Good times start here~'**
**Transforming into a space where people gather naturally across departmental boundaries**
This initiative was part of a consultation regarding an office layout change at the NTT Docomo Business Hokkaido Branch. This is reportedly the first attempt for the branch to create a dedicated space based on a design proposal. In preparation for the 2026 fiscal year, the Hokkaido Branch was exploring 'new forms of communication using the office,' aiming to improve engagement through communication revitalization and creating a 'stylish space' where employees could spend their time comfortably.
These goals aligned with Francfranc's philosophy of 'creating heart-fluttering spaces,' leading to the request for spatial coordination. For the 10th floor, which had previously been used primarily by specific departments, Francfranc proposed a colorful plan incorporating a wealth of interior goods, based on the desire for 'a place for cross-departmental interaction and use' and 'a place where everyone wants to come to the office and stay longer.'
Furthermore, to make the role of the space more tangible, the new office space was named 'Time Lounge ~Good times start here~.'
'A place that makes you like the time you spend here a bit more,' 'A place you want to be, rather than just an office.'
By overlapping the mission of NTT Docomo Business Hokkaido Branch, which handles technology, with Francfranc's emphasis on comfort and sensibility, the project aims to create a space that gently enhances the quality of working time.
