As a company deeply rooted in manufacturing, Toyota Connected envisioned a London workspace that showcased raw materials to embody their organisational identity. The office fit-out emphasises natural finishes, such as exposed brick walls and timber slat partitions, accented with bonsai trees as a nod to their Japanese heritage. Additional greenery enhances the organic feel, while a neutral colour palette is complemented by their signature brand colours, creating a serene and elegant environment that encourages focus and productivity.

A unifying thread theme, integral to Toyota Connected’s branding, is woven into the workspace. This concept is brought to life through features like colourful thread patterns that serve as wayfinding elements, enhancing the user experience. The carefully designed multifunctional layout supports a more connected workforce, encouraging seamless collaboration and ongoing innovation across the organisation.
