Open Thresholds
Completed 2025
Marubeni's headquarters in the historic Locsin Building is reimagined into a continuous open workspace, woven together by a feature stair clad entirely in white oak, marking the moment of arrival and ascent. The floor plan is reoriented to open deliberately towards Ayala Avenue, framing the city as a working backdrop along the building’s glazed right-angled corners. The decomposition of the interior space allows a fluidity between the interior and exterior. Here, the effect becomes cumulative: creating a workspace that feels grounded and timeless, redefining a century-old corporation.
