OSOTSPA has just celebrated its 125th years anniversary not very long ago. It is one of Thailand’s oldest private companies operating till date. The company has started from making traditional medicines which were so popular for Thais and grown into a well-known company that produced hundred of popular consuming products including NO.1 energy drink in Thailand, M-150.
For the last few years, the company undergoes some big plans to adapt and improve their ways of working, including building many square meters of new work space as well as redesigning the existing ones in their headquarter campus, in Ramkamhang, Bangkok. Buiding P3 is the first one in the series that they would like to implement the new working environment on. The 6,500m2 work space spanning over 3 floors (6th-8th) of the newly built building houses supporting departments like purchasing, I.T., accounting and training facilities.
The work-space is designed to be as “opened” and “Sharable” as possible. There are minimum numbers of rooms given to only high rank directors (and those rooms are to be as transparent as possible.) Every one is arranged into open working environment to promote collaborations among each others. Different sizes of meeting rooms and generic facilities have become more generic and placed in the central part of the floor area for employees from different departments to share more freely. While hundred of opened working units are place surrounding them so that work space can enjoy natural light coming in from both side of the building. In every wing of the building, there is a small cafe-like break area for staff to have snack and chit chat.
