「いのち輝く未来社会のデザイン」をテーマに開催される2025年日本国際博覧会（大阪・関西万博）のホスト国として、「いのちと、いのちの、あいだに」をテーマに、展示と建築がシームレスにつながることで、来館者に「循環」の意義を感じていただくパビリオンです。円環状の構造体によって、いのちのリレーを体現する日本館は、ホスト国のパビリオンとして唯一無二の存在感を示しています。周囲をぐるりと歩くうちに自然と日本館内に吸い込まれていく動線に加え、最大の特徴は、円を描くように立ち並ぶ無数の「木の板」です。その隙間からは内部を垣間見ることができ、中と外、展示と建築の連続によって、日本館のテーマにもある「あいだ」を来場者が意識するきっかけをもたらします。また、本パビリオンの特徴として「ごみを食べる日本館」というコンセプトがあります。万博会場内で出たごみが、微生物のはたらきによって分解され、エネルギーや水に変換されます。その過程をインスタレーション*で追体験しながら、生み出されたエネルギーや水が日本館を動かすさまを体感する「生きたパビリオン」となっています。そして、3つのゾーンで構成される館内を一周しながら、日本の美意識である「循環」の意義を感じることで、来館者自身も、その永く壮大な物語の一部であることを実感できます。加えて、主にCLT（直交集成板）で構成される「木の板」と、構造には鋼材を使用することで、CLTをできるだけシンプルで象徴的な方法で使用しています。日本館で使用されているCLTは、万博終了後に日本各地の企業や自治体などに再利用いただく予定となっており、解体や転用がしやすいよう工夫されています。日本館のテーマである「いのちと、いのちの、あいだに」の根底にある「循環」の価値を知ることで、私たちのすぐ身近にある循環を見つめ直し、これからの社会のあり方や、持続可能な未来へのヒントの探求につながることを目指しています。当社はこの日本館において、展示デザイン(基本設計、実施設計)、施工、運営を担当しております。*展示空間全体を作品として体験する現代の芸術形式。観客はその空間を歩き回り、視覚や音などを通じて作品を楽しみます。

北海道虻田郡の「ニセコ東急 グラン・ヒラフ」ゲレンデ山麓に位置する「マウンテンセンター」の改修を実施しました。本施設は、1階が売店・チケットカウンター、2階はレストランの2フロア構成となっており、今回の改修において、1階の売場面積は1.6倍に拡張、2階レストランは「sanshoku」と名を改め、空間演出と共に全面リニューアルする形となりました。グラン・ヒラフに降り立つゲストをコースに送り出す場所として、また、コースから帰ってくるゲストを出迎える場所としての役目を持つ施設であると解釈し、デザインしました。おおらかに包み込む北海道の自然を、「ヒラフブルー」が象徴する新たにバリューアップされたクールなブランドアイデンティティに溶け込ませ、その要素をリゾート施設ならではの一期一会で賑やかな空間にちりばめることで、ここにしかない、クールでいて、どこか温かみを感じる体験を生む空間づくりを目指しました。

カタールの人、土地、海が持つ豊かな物語を、リアルな素材を駆使して表現した、大阪・関西万博のパビリオンです。砂漠の風景を繊細なグラデーションで再現する本物の砂や、床・壁・天井を覆い尽くす深海のようなアルミ素材、そして文化的な豊かさを象徴する精巧な刺繍の巨大カーテンで空間を構成しています。訪れる人の感性にダイレクトに訴えかける素材の中にカタールの伝統工芸や風景が幻想的に浮かび上がる、体感型展示空間を設計しました。 

北海道・恋問（こいとい）海岸の目の前に広がる「道の駅しらぬか 恋問館」は、道の駅では珍しいRVパーク（*1）としての機能を備え、シャワーやサウナ、コインランドリーを併設した、快適な車旅を楽しめる施設です。白糠町の地元食材を利用した飲食店も揃い、晴れた日には海の見える「あずましリビング」や2階の展望デッキから恋問海岸の美しい景色を見渡すことができます。また、白糠町が掲げる「子育て応援日本一」の考えのもと、施設内にはキッズ・ファミリースペース（こっこパーク）を完備しています。 当社は、当案件のDBO（*2）にコンソーシアムメンバーとして企画業務を中心に参画し、受託後は建設JV（*3）の一員として業務を推進しながら、内装設計およびサイン計画など幅広い業務を手掛けました。  *1  一般社団法人日本RV協会に認定された車中泊施設。 *2  DBO（Design, Build, Operate）：設計・建設・維持管理・運営を民間事業者に包括的に一括発注する、官民連携方式の一つ。*3  共同企業体制度（ジョイント・ベンチャー）。複数の企業が一つの工事を受注、施工することを目的として形成する事業組織体。

Located at the gateway to the "Umekita Phase 2 Area," Umekita Green Place is a commercial complex themed around "greenery" and "a place for encounters and interaction." We proposed creating a facility with 20 stores, primarily restaurants and cafes, that would create a lush green plaza and a lively, relaxing space where visitors can wander around and enjoy themselves, catering to the needs of people passing through the JR Osaka Station area for a variety of purposes, from nearby office workers to people visiting the park or shopping. We were responsible for the planning, design and construction of the food court on the second floor and the restrooms on the second and third floors, as well as furniture and fixture manufacturing of the entire facility.

We were responsible for design, layout, sign and graphic concept design, interior administration, furniture and fixture manufacturing, environmental features, and construction of the restaurant "Lounge & Dining" at the 2025 World Exposition, Japan (Osaka-Kansai Expo). This facility is concept design to be a "place of hospitality" welcoming guests from Japan and abroad, and combines high-quality spatial presentation with comfort. We aimed to create a space that would create a memorable and special experience for people gathering from all over the world.

This renovation marks the renewal of the "Accident Information displays Room" at the Seibu Training Center, which was established in 2009 for the purpose of safety education for Seibu Railway employees. In addition to the existing "displays Area," a new "Learning Area" has been added. This "Safety Education Room" aims to encourage each employee to think and act independently and share a common awareness toward building safety, learning from past accidents and preventing them from happening again. In the "displays Area," employees reaffirm Seibu Railway's "safety first" policy based on accumulated accident information and learn lessons from accidents. In the "Learning Area," employees focus on human error and incorporate the latest safety management concepts. Through hands-on displays and workshops, employees were encouraged to think independently about how to solve problems and discuss them in groups, aiming to foster a shared awareness of safety among employees. Our company was responsible for the planning and concept, design, layout, sign and graphic concept design, design supervision, environmental features, exhibit execution, interior execution, and building execution.

Lawson's new store, opening within the 2025 World Expo, Japan site, is located in front of the East Gate entrance, which is directly connected to Yumeshima Station (Osaka Metro Chuo Line), the closest station to the site. The store features noren art representing each of the 47 prefectures and wall art inspired by Lawson's vision of a "Happy Lawson Town"—a symbiotic society created by the connections between Lawson's nationwide network and each local community. The store also incorporates many sustainable building materials, such as wood and single-wall pipes, in anticipation of future use after the Expo ends. Furthermore, the store's unique concept design incorporates Lawson's roots, which began in 1975, such as the logo and milk cans of the first store, conveying its unique identity and communicating its essential value as a "community hot station" that lives alongside the community, from the past to the future.

The zelkova trees lining the streets are covered in fresh greenery, transforming Sendai into the most beautiful "City of Forests" in May. The Sendai Aoba Festival, a period festival showcasing the "stylishness of the Date clan," is held in May. This festival began in 1985, marking the 350th anniversary of the death of Date Masamune, as a revival of a festival held in the Sendai domain during the Edo period. The fourth festival, held in 1988, saw the creation of five Sendai Yamaboko floats, recreating the traditional Yamaboko procession. Five more were added the following year, and another was created in 1995, bringing the total to eleven. Our Tohoku Branch was involved in the creation of the floats from the early stages, and thanks to that connection, all branch staff continue to support the procession every year. In 2025, the 12th Yamaboko, the "Borrowful Harvest Yamaboko," will be added to the festival for the first time in 30 years. Creating a new Yamahoko requires a considerable amount of money. Furthermore, it requires the participation of more than 100 people, including the pullers and dancers, so the sponsor must be a fairly large local organization or group. In this situation, the new Yamahoko was realized with the cooperation of Iris Ohyama, which is based in Sendai, Miyagi. Our company has a long-standing relationship with the Sendai Aoba Festival, and was in charge of the concept design and production work. *Dates: 2 days, the third Sunday of May every year and the day before.

Tokiwakan, a ryokan inn in Gamagori, Aichi Prefecture, was beloved by many literary figures during the late Meiji period. The Ume Annex, originally built as a detached building, has been reborn as "THE COVE," a Gamagori Classic Hotel accommodation facility, offering a whole-house rental experience. Based on the concept of "encountering the blessings of the region surrounding Mikawa Bay and enjoying them with all five senses," the hotel makes the most of the renowned building, a registered tangible cultural property, and the views it commands, nestled on a hill overlooking Takeshima Island in the tranquil Mikawa Bay. Furthermore, by adding a touch of "newness" where necessary, the hotel creates a pleasant contrast and an extraordinary lodging experience. The hotel is packed with the charms of the region, featuring artwork using traditional techniques handed down in the area and the development of original drinks crafted by local people using local ingredients.

Ceravie Resort Izumigo Co., Ltd. operates hotels, cottages, and dog resort facilities in 11 locations across Japan. We were in charge of renovating the restaurant at "AMBIENT Azumino Hotel," a mountain resort surrounded by the Northern Alps. The background to the plan was to improve the efficiency of operations by expanding and consolidating the restaurant, which was previously divided into two floors, the basement and the first floor, onto the first floor, and to create a resort atmosphere with the magnificent Northern Alps visible from the observation terrace on the first floor, thereby improving the value of the customer experience. The plan was to create an extraordinary atmosphere using space, furniture, and decorations that reflect the region's unique culture, history, and crafts, and to create a new live kitchen that uses local ingredients to create cooking methods unique to the area, and to incorporate elements that will make customers want to stay again.

This was a renovation project for the Game Creator Department's practice room at Technos College Tokyo Kogakuin College (Koganei City, Tokyo). We were in charge of everything from concept design environmental features and interiors construction. We started with the initial request to create a classroom where students could imagine themselves working at a game company five years from now, and after repeated interviews with teachers, we realized that the underlying desire was for students to "imagine their own future without being confined to the game industry." Therefore, we proposed a concept design concept called "Game Creator's labo" so that students could imagine themselves in the future as creators without being confined to the field of games.

Technos College Tokyo Air Travel & Hotel College This is a renovation project for two classrooms, the "Bridal Room" and the "Presentation Room," used by the Bridal Department. Based on the theme of "mariage (harmony)," the "Bridal Room" aims to be a warm and glamorous space where users can naturally imagine their future lifestyles through wedding planning. It is also designed to be a practical learning space for students, nurturing their imagination and ability to make proposals to materialize their dreams. The "Presentation Room" is a space that will become a "hub of encounters and ideas" where students from all departments can gather to exchange opinions and engage in creative activities. Natural materials are used, and the lighting and acoustics are adjusted to create a harmonious learning environment that will help students develop the ability to produce life events.

In preparation for the 2025 Osaka-Kansai Expo, renovation work has been underway on the Kansai International Airport Terminal 1 building since 2021. As the gateway to Kansai, this project aims to "expand international flight capacity," "enhance the airside area," and "improve passenger experience." Until now, the airport had lounges for each airline, but these have been consolidated into one, providing a larger space through space efficiency. Among these, this project corresponds to Phase 3 of the large-scale renovation, and is an international business lounge with a total area of 2,970 m2 and 658 seats, with the theme of "ancient capitals and cities." The building is divided into two areas with different concepts, "North Side" and "South Side. schematic design was done by Azusa Sekkei, and our company was in charge of interiors (FF&E), working drawings and construction of the facilities, and art supervision.

The Hiwasa Sea Turtle Museum Caretta is a rare sea turtle museum located on Ohama Beach in Tokushima Prefecture, and is beloved as the oldest loggerhead turtle conservation site in the region. At the same time, it also serves as a base facility for the local Minami Town's plan to increase the return rate of sea turtles. This renovation has created a place where people can learn about the coexistence of humans and nature through sea turtles and nurture the next generation of leaders by providing a comfortable space for visitors and making it easy for sea turtles to live in from the perspective of animal welfare.
