It’s kind of unusual to have the sound of waves and the feeling of warm sand beneath one’s feet at the office. But Japanese company Biztech is no ordinary workplace.<br /><br />Employees have a 3D projector and speakers pumping out a beach atmosphere over a carpet of sand while they work.<br /><br />The company CEO, Soichiro Minami, said: “I want our employees to use this space not only as a showcase to visitors but also to use it for their daily meetings, so that they can think more freely, become more creative, and come up with more unique ideas.”<br /><br />One employee said the sound of the waves was actually soothing and helped her work.<br /><br />“It’s air conditioned in here, so it’s a bit different from the hot summer beach, but other than that I feel almost like I’m working on a beach. And the sound of the waves helps me concentrate,” said 28-year-old Ayami Oda.<br /><br />Although the water, waves and sea life are an illusion, the sand is not. The company brought in two tonnes of sand to create the beach and with it, a workplace like no other.
