Startup Growth: Reaching Our Office Limits Within a Year
Our startup journey began in a 60m2 furnished office at the HP Building in Da Kao, Ho Chi Minh City. Initially, we planned to stay there for two to three years. However, having grown from a team of 4 to 13 in just one year, we quickly outgrew the space much sooner than anticipated.
Driving Forces for Our Office Expansion
The primary reason for our relocation was the shortage of workstations for our site supervisors.
Given the harsh, dusty, and non-air-conditioned environments they endure on construction sites, the office should be a place of respite.
When we saw them working at pantry and meeting tables due to lack of space, we decided to relocate immediately, regardless of our remaining lease term.
Living the Standards of Office Design Excellence
Just as a good chef learns by tasting excellent ingredients, and a good sommelier builds expertise by experiencing fine wines, we believe that as professionals in office design, we ourselves should work in an environment surrounded by high-quality office functions and specifications.
The work chair- being the only piece of furniture in constant, long-term contact with the body-was selected from Japanese manufacturers. All office staff, including management, use the same chair as the president. The lighting system adopts circadian lighting, which changes color temperature throughout the day, complemented by relaxing aromas from aroma diffusers and comfortable background music played through ceiling speakers.
For efficient PC work, we designed simple group desks equipped with pop-up power outlets that allow wireless charging simply by placing a mobile device on them. In addition, height-adjustable desks were custom-designed and built for those who wish to work while standing.
To verify convenience and functionality ourselves, we also introduced digital whiteboards in the meeting rooms. For air quality, we selected a German-made air purifier equipped with HEPA filters of the same performance level used in Airbus aircraft.
By actively using and experiencing various office functions in our daily work, we deepen our understanding of the working environment and ensure that we can provide our clients with high-quality, reliable services.
The office is the most immediate testing ground for improving work productivity.
Office productivity can only be enhanced when the “hard” elements—the physical office space—and the “soft” elements—management—are effectively combined. No matter how stylish or how simple an office may be, it is the “magic” of management that changes the faces and attitudes of the people who work there.
At CRAFTEC, we begin each morning by cleaning the office together, allowing everyone to gain firsthand insight into the maintainability of finishing materials. Before the morning meeting, we ease tension with a game of darts. When a staff member arrives late or forgets to wear their uniform on Uniform Day, colleagues approach them with smiles and say, “Here you go—this is a donation,” placing a contribution into a donation box. In this way, negative feelings are shared lightly and transformed into something positive. The collected donations are regularly given to disaster relief efforts and orphanages.
We have extended the lunch break by 15 minutes, from 12:00 to 1:15 p.m., to ensure time for a short nap after lunch. At the start of the afternoon work session, we perform simple stretching exercises that can be done while seated.
By incorporating these small but thoughtful ideas into our daily routines, we continuously refine our own way of working in this new office—so that we can wholeheartedly support our clients in creating better, more productive office environments.

Dự ánthiết kế và thi công văn phòng 6 tầng tại TP. Hồ Chí Minh, kết hợp showroom và studio. CRAFTEC đã thực hiện thiết kế và thi công văn phòng mới của TAKARA BELMONT tại TP. Hồ Chí Minh. Bất động sản cho thuê tại Việt Nam có nhiều điểm khác biệt so với Nhật Bản. Tại Việt Nam, vị thế của chủ nhà thường khá mạnh và trong một số trường hợp đặc biệt, bên thuê có thể bất ngờ được yêu cầu trả lại mặt bằng chỉ trong vòng một tháng. Dự án di dời văn phòng lần này của **TAKARA BELMONT** cũng bắt nguồn từ một thông báo đột xuất như vậy từ phía chủ nhà. Địa điểm mới là một tòa nhà độc lập 6 tầng mới xây, được bố trí với các chức năng khác nhau theo từng tầng: * **GF:** SHOWROOM * **1F:** SALES OFFICE * **2F:** OPERATION OFFICE + MEETING ROOM * **3F:** VIP ROOM + STORAGE * **4F:** CONFERENCE ROOM * **5F:** STUDIO (LAB) * **6F:** ROOFTOP Do kế hoạch di dời diễn ra đột xuất, không thể hoàn thành toàn bộ công trình nội thất văn phòng trước thời hạn chuyển văn phòng. Vì vậy, CRAFTEC đã đề xuất phương án thi công theo nhiều giai đoạn, đồng thời xác định rõ thứ tự ưu tiên dựa trên thời điểm cần đưa từng tầng vào sử dụng. Trước tiên, do thời gian di dời gấp, chúng tôi bố trí **văn phòng tạm tại tầng 4 – khu vực phòng họp**, đồng thời ưu tiên thi công **văn phòng tầng 2 và studio tầng 5**, là những khu vực cần được đưa vào sử dụng trước. Tiếp theo, chúng tôi tiến hành thi công các tầng **1F, 3F và 4F**, trong khi **showroom tại tầng GF** được hoàn thiện sau cùng vì đây là khu vực cần nhiều thời gian hơn để trao đổi và thống nhất các chi tiết với khách hàng. Các bản phác thảo thiết kế ban đầu được phụ trách bởi **Bộ phận Quản lý Dự án Xây dựng tại trụ sở chính TAKARA BELMONT ở Tokyo**. Trong suốt quá trình thực hiện, chúng tôi nhận được sự hướng dẫn và hỗ trợ tận tình từ phía khách hàng, từ việc hoàn thiện **phối cảnh thiết kế và bản vẽ chi tiết của CRAFTEC** cho đến toàn bộ quá trình thi công. Thông qua sự phối hợp chặt chẽ giữa TAKARA BELMONT và CRAFTEC, dự án đã được triển khai phù hợp với tiến độ di dời gấp của khách hàng, đồng thời đảm bảo từng khu vực được hoàn thiện và đưa vào sử dụng theo đúng thứ tự ưu tiên. 同様のオフィス内装施工事例やサービス詳細、無料相談はCRAFTECへ。 参考:JETRO ベトナム情報

This is an office relocation project in Ho Chi Minh City carried out by CRAFTEC. As FUJIFILM BUSINESS INNOVATION VIETNAM expanded its business and relocated its office, CRAFTEC created a workplace designed with a strong focus on employee engagement and long-term retention. The project involved planning a new office for FUJIFILM’s newly established development division in Vietnam. The office is located on the 20th floor of The HALLMARK, in a newly developing area across the Saigon River from central District 1. The office occupies a large 730 m² L-shaped space. The proposal competition for the new office included detailed requirements regarding functions and team structures. After competing against seven companies, CRAFTEC was selected to carry out the project. The planning process began with developing a layout based on the maximum expected number of employees in the future. From the initial stage, we focused on maximizing the efficiency of the workstation layout within the main office area. For offices of 300–400 m² or larger, optimizing the workplace layout to create as much usable surplus space as possible is particularly important. This allows the available floor area to be allocated more effectively to other functions. At the same time, the main circulation routes were designed to be as simple and efficient as possible, allowing more space to be allocated to the Refresh Area. For the new business division, teamwork among employees—including newly recruited staff—is especially important. Therefore, the Refresh Area plays a key role in encouraging communication and interaction among employees. This tendency is particularly noticeable in Vietnam compared with Japan. For this reason, the Refresh Area was carefully planned not only as a place to take a break, but also as a space for building team spirit and strengthening employee engagement. To avoid misunderstandings regarding the details of the new office, CRAFTEC placed importance on working closely with the client throughout the construction process. At key stages, such as layout marking and wall completion, we regularly invited the client to the site to inspect and confirm the details together. For this project, the client separately procured the interior furnishings, network system, and office chairs from different suppliers. CRAFTEC therefore also took on the role of Project Manager (PM) during construction, coordinating with the relevant parties and sharing daily construction progress reports with the entire team. From a design perspective, FUJIFILM has several key colors within its corporate brand identity. We incorporated different accent colors into each room, creating variety while maintaining a cohesive overall office design. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of the client’s project representative in coordinating internal matters throughout the project, CRAFTEC successfully completed the large 730 m² office within a short 1.5-month construction period, achieving a smooth completion without major issues. 同様のオフィス内装施工事例やサービス詳細、無料相談はCRAFTECへ。 参考:JETRO ベトナム情報

This is an office interior construction project for a service office in Ho Chi Minh City. Through the lounge area design at SOTOCHIKA 2 Le Thanh Ton, we created a space that supports a variety of working styles. For service office interior design in Ho Chi Minh City, choose CRAFTEC. The second Japanese service office of SOTOCHIKA, SOTOCHIKA 2, has been completed in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City. For this project, CRAFTEC was commissioned to undertake the design and construction as a joint team with MONCAPE. Located on the M Floor of Lancaster, the office has a floor area of approximately 350 m². SOTOCHIKA 2 was designed to create a natural and welcoming atmosphere, maintaining the comfortable feel of a hotel lounge while avoiding an overly formal or heavy impression. While SOTOCHIKA 1, located on the 7th floor of STAR BUILDING in District 3, is characterized by the cozy atmosphere of a hidden café, SOTOCHIKA 2 focuses on the potential needs of business professionals in the Le Thanh Ton area, with an emphasis on a calm and sophisticated atmosphere. As many women are actively involved in SOTOCHIKA’s operations, the design also takes into consideration the desire to create harmony between the staff’s warm and gentle service style and the interior environment. One of the key characteristics of the floor plan is the elevator hall located in the center of the floor, which creates a long circulation route. The key challenge was to efficiently arrange various types of private rooms along the narrow, elongated corridor. By optimizing the layout of the private rooms, we were able to secure a spacious coworking area. In this spacious coworking area, various types of work booths are arranged with partitions that provide a subtle sense of privacy. This allows users to concentrate on their work without being overly conscious of the people around them. SOTOCHIKA 2 features 11 rental rooms for 2 to 6 people, a coworking room, various types of coworking booths, two meeting rooms, and two private online work booths, providing a flexible environment for a wide range of working styles. SOTOCHIKA 2 is also an ideal place for those who want to stop by and work on their laptops during free time before a business meal or meeting in the Le Thanh Ton area. Compared with ordinary cafés, the service office provides a more secure and comfortable environment for working. Users of the rental rooms and coworking spaces can access both SOTOCHIKA 1 and SOTOCHIKA 2. In addition to monthly contracts, customers can also use the facilities on 同様のオフィス内装施工事例やサービス詳細、無料相談はCRAFTECへ。 参考:JETRO ベトナム情報

Craftec partnered with CUBE SYSTEM VIETNAM to execute a 700 sqm office expansion in Ho Chi Minh City. Moving from their aging 525 sqm office in T-Park to accommodate rapid head-count growth, the client needed a functional workspace built around two goals: expanding meeting areas and fostering team collaboration. 1. Space Optimization Driven by Precision Engineering To maximize usable area without sacrificing comfort, Craftec applied a millimeter-precise planning approach to the core work zones: Compact Workspace Layout: We streamlined the desk configuration in the main developer area to free up maximum square footage for multipurpose collaboration zones. Asymmetric Design Dynamic: While the primary work desks follow a structured grid, the multipurpose area features an asymmetrical design—giving the space flexibility without rigid functional limits. 2. Architectural Highlight: Direct Line of Sight to IT Development CUBE SYSTEM wanted visitors to experience their real value driver: a focused, professional IT development environment, rather than staring at presentation monitors during meetings. Full-Height Glass Partitioning: The main conference room adjacent to the entrance features a full glass wall along one side. Angled Room Orientation: We positioned the glass conference room at an angle to create visual depth from inside out. Panorama View: Clients and guests gain an immediate panoramic view spanning the active developer floor and the break area in one seamless glance. 3. Partner with a Proven Office Fit-Out Contractor in Vietnam Craftec combines Japanese quality control with local project execution to build commercial interiors that elevate brands and optimize operations.

CRAFTEC Vietnam completed a comprehensive interior fit-out for Marubeni-Itochu Steel Vietnam at their Ho Chi Minh City office. Due to their extensive commercial trading operations, the client required a complete space plan revision to resolve severe paper document storage challenges while restoring an open, uncluttered environment for daily staff activities. Custom Floor-to-Ceiling Built-In Storage Engineering The primary project challenge involved housing a massive daily volume of trade documentation, invoices, and commercial files. Consequently, CRAFTEC designed and installed custom floor-to-ceiling built-in cabinet systems paired with mobile shelving units. This engineered layout maximizes vertical storage volume without encroaching on usable floor area. As a result, the primary work floor remains organized, visually clean, and clutter-free. Japanese Execution Standards for Optimized Workspace Flow In addition to high-capacity storage, CRAFTEC reconfigured desk layouts to streamline foot traffic (traffic flow) between operating departments. The new spatial plan prioritizes natural daylighting, which supports staff focus and daily productivity. Combining functional storage capacity with modern workspace aesthetics, CRAFTEC delivered a professional environment that reflects the standards and reputation of a Japanese steel enterprise. 同様のオフィス内装施工事例やサービス詳細、無料相談はCRAFTECへ。 参考:JETRO ベトナム情報

Viet Nam Nisshin Seifun: Commercial Renovation for New B2B Presentation Room CRAFTEC Vietnam recently completed a specialized commercial renovation at Viet Nam Nisshin Seifun’s new Ho Chi Minh City office. To strengthen their local B2B sales capabilities, the company converted part of their existing office layout into a dedicated presentation and product experience room. Specialized Lighting Engineered for Food Presentation Because this space functions as a food presentation showroom, technical precision was essential. Consequently, CRAFTEC selected and installed high Color Rendering Index (CRI) lighting fixtures over the main display tables. This high-CRI lighting presents dishes in their true, vibrant colors, making food displays visually appealing to visiting clients. As a result, Viet Nam Nisshin Seifun can effectively showcase product quality during executive tastings and B2B client meetings. Brand Integration Through Custom Interior Accents In addition to technical lighting, CRAFTEC incorporated brand identity elements directly into the interior design. Specifically, the seating upholstery was custom-crafted using Viet Nam Nisshin Seifun’s exact corporate brand colors. This subtle detail adds a refined visual accent while maintaining a unified, professional corporate environment. 同様のオフィス内装施工事例やサービス詳細、無料相談はCRAFTECへ。 参考:JETRO ベトナム情報
