To Our Future- SCRAP MATERIAL UPCYCLE PROJECT- SCRAPTURE

To Our Future- SCRAP MATERIAL UPCYCLE PROJECT- SCRAPTURE

This project is an upcycling activity that complements and displays "SCRAP" emitted from building materials and interiors materials as "FURNITURE," reuses it as recycled material, and returns it to the earth. According to an announcement by the Ministry of the Environment, the amount of industrial waste generated in Japan in 2020 will amount to 373.82 million tons*, and the amount of scrap generated per day will be nearly 1 million tons. We believe that it is our responsibility as creators, who come into contact with a variety of materials every day in our concept design work, to take the initiative in communicating to society and local communities about the recycling and use of the earth's limited resources. We have formed a team of young in-house creators and plan and manage projects as social contribution activities. By enclosing and supplementing pulverized waste materials into a transparent skin made of recycled vinyl as furniture, we will create displays to convey a message in an art-like manner and displays offices and public spaces in Japan and overseas. After being displays for a certain period of time, the materials will be returned to interiors and construction sites as interiors resources, and the project will be related to a traveling sustainability activity in which the next generation of waste materials will be enclosed, supplemented, and displays. In order to reach as many people as possible with our message, we held a launch displays in the entrance space of our office to solicit corporate sponsors, and received support from many corporate sponsors, local people, and educational institutions. By allowing everyone to see, learn about, and touch interiors waste materials that are not seen in everyday life, we hope that everyone will have an opportunity to think about a better future and a sustainable society. displays is based on an installation concept that allows you to feel the message. *Source: Ministry of the Environment “Total emissions in 2020”

Kyushu Mitsubishi Motors Sales Co., Ltd. KMG Building

This is a showroom/office reconstruction project for Kyushu Mitsubishi Motors Sales Co., Ltd. We were in charge of the interior design and construction of the cafe/restaurant on the 1st floor and the showroom on the 2nd floor of the 8-story steel-framed building. As a new landmark of Yakuin, Fukuoka City, we aimed to create a space that can connect with people and the city (region) with the concept of "obi". The café/restaurant is an open space that is easy to enter, and is designed to be a communication space integrated with the showroom. In addition, we installed a large digital signage, a turntable that symbolically displays automobiles, a light ceiling, and other elements that are scattered around to make café customers naturally interested in cars. The showroom on the 2nd floor incorporates an organic design that uses many curved surfaces that symbolize the obi, and the ceiling is decorated with a design pattern of Mitsubishi's three diamonds. In addition, the Mitsubishi brand colors of black, white, and gray are used as the basic colors to create a simple and dignified showroom that is typical of Mitsubishi Motors. In addition, we have set up a kids' corner where children can have fun even when visiting with their families, a corner to promote V2H technology, and a dedicated corner to hold important business negotiations. . Construction: P.S.Mitsubishi/Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Kotsu Kensetsu Engineering Co., Ltd. Special construction construction joint venture [Social issues/customer issues/requests] In addition to existing customers, we have failed to capture so far young families and young people who are not very interested in cars. We received a request to create a space that can be visited by a wide range of new customers who had not previously visited.

JRE Kanda Ogawamachi Building

JRE Kanda Ogawamachi Building

This is a project to improve the value of a 20-odd-year-old office building located in a corner of Kanda Ogawamachi. The main renovations will be part of the exterior façade, the building sign, the entrance on the 1st floor, and the common area on the standard floor (4th floor). By making good use of the existing space made of granite, we minimized the disposal of waste materials due to removal, and by fusing good old materials with new materials, we created a design that is highly cost-effective while being conscious of sustainability. *Biophilic design: A design or method that allows people in a space to feel a connection with nature. [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] More than 20 years have passed since the building was built, and there were concerns about the obsolescence of the design of the entrance, etc., and the decline in competitiveness in the area. In addition, since the entrance of this building does not face the main street, the main flow line seems to be a back alley, and there is room for improvement in terms of visibility of the building. In light of these issues, this project was required to improve the property's competitiveness and visibility by refurbishing the entrance, facade, and some standard floors. [Solution] In order to alleviate the conventional feeling of a dark back alley, the façade has newly installed dynamic wood-grain louvers and indirect lighting to create a bright building face. The interior of the entrance has two expressions, glass and natural wood, with the aim of renewing the old-fashioned look and increasing the motivation of the people working there. Sanitary equipment such as toilets and hot water supply rooms on the office floor has also been renewed to meet new standards such as antibacterial. Through these comprehensive renovations, we aim to make the entire building a safe place for the people who work there. [Customer's voice] All of NOMURA's sales, designers, and construction staff worked together on this project, and we were able to successfully complete the project. I would like to express my gratitude for your meticulous follow-up in each phase. We feel that the façade and entrance after renovation are fully functioning as the face of the new building. <Our project members> [Development] Takuya Kitai [Sales and project management] Masahiro Harada, Kayu Tatsumi [Investigation] Wataru Takada [Design and engineering] Hiroyuki Second, Ayaka Miyane, Hitoki Igarashi [Production and construction] Mai Sakai, Tomokuni Hasegawa, Ikuya Sasaki

[Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] In order to expand the range of air quality air conditioning solutions, we received requests for creating a space to more attractively convey the excellent features of the latest products. [Solution] Taking advantage of the glass façade that lets in the natural light, we constructed the space using materials that give the impression of natural elements such as wood grain and stone grain, and created a space that feels more comfortable when the “wind” that is the solution overlaps. I aimed. We have devised ways to appeal the effectiveness of "wind" as one of the interior components. In addition, the layout and zoning of the air quality air conditioning solutions incorporated in each booth and area have been carefully considered so that it can be used not only as an exhibition, but also as an actual meeting or work space.

Nice Co., Ltd. Head Office Renovation

Nice Co., Ltd. Head Office Renovation

This is a head office renovation project for the 70th anniversary of the founding of Nice Co., Ltd., which distributes lumber and building materials. Our company was selected as a result of the proposal competition. With the concept of “knowing trees and passing on trees”, we will build a base where “wood” specialists gather and create a sustainable circulation centered on trees, which will in turn revitalize the distribution of trees. We aimed to be a facility that contributes to the creation of a bright society with trees. The 1st and 2nd floors, where visitors are welcomed, and the 8th floor, where the reception room is located, are designed to appeal to customers, and were designed using original wood products from Nice. In the lobby, the dynamic wooden colonnade that extends to the high ceiling and the lace material vertical blinds attached to the large glass windows gently block the line of sight from the outside world. It is a space of hospitality that makes the most of it. On the 7th floor, where employees gather, we have set up a meeting room and a book reading corner so that employees can enjoy and voluntarily face "trees", making it a craftsman's place where technology can be gathered and browsed. By creating a space where people can concentrate and a space where communication can be active, we have created a flexible space configuration that is close to the work styles of each employee. [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] The specifics of this renovation are the sharing of values and designs that symbolize sustainability, such as "decarbonization and use of wood," and the development of an office environment that realizes improved communication during the COVID-19 crisis. It was a great request. [Solution] In order to realize the strong desire to use wood, we communicated closely with the person in charge of the project at Nice and the person in charge of our own factory, and let them proceed with the design while deciding on the material and color of the wood. Thank you. The communication area for employees has a spatial structure that intentionally does not create boundaries, and the area is softly partitioned with fixtures such as family restaurant benches and solo desks where you can concentrate on your work, centered on an R-shaped bookshelf. By making it an OA floor, we gave it a function that enables flexible work styles. [Customer's voice] With NOMURA Co., Ltd. in charge, we were able to create a high-quality, calm hotel lobby-like hospitality space that we would never have thought of on our own. This time, various in-house products and tree species were used as materials. In a place that could have given an inconsistent impression, you have achieved a woody renovation that is appropriate for your company, with its roots in wood, by exquisitely harmonizing the features of the tree species and the space. We are grateful to NOMURA Kogeisha for their high design and technical capabilities. <Our project members> [Development] Takuya Kitai [Sales and project promotion] Takuya Kitai, Midori Nakayabu, Seishun Yoshii [Design and design] Sachiko Tsujihichi, Nao Hiura [Production and construction] Ryowa Hirowatari, Nozomu Iwashita, Kikuchi Nohara

Nikka Museum Renewal

Nikka Museum Renewal

Since it opened as a whiskey museum in 1998, the number of visitors has exceeded 600,000 due to the airing of dramas and displays advent of the highball boom. Therefore, while reviewing the entire tour facility of the Yoichi Distillery, it was decided to renovate the former whiskey hall of the same facility as the first plan. The Yoichi Distillery is an important point of contact for visitors to experience Nikka, and is also a sacred place for whiskey fans. However, the existing tour facilities were not at a level commensurate with their importance, and the fact that they did not keep up with the changes and evolution of the world was a major issue in this renovation. The ideal whiskey making of the founder, Masataka Taketsuru, or Yoichi as the origin of Nikka, the story of how it started from here and continues to the future, and the improvement is to foster understanding and empathy for the Nikka brand. has become the main theme of [Social Issues / Customer Issues / Requests] (1) The purpose of the renovation is to further improve the understanding and satisfaction of visitors, increase the number of Nikka fans, and strengthen the brand. (2) Renovate displays to meet the diversification of visitor needs and the expansion of the user base due to the growing popularity of whiskey. (3) Redevelopment of multilingual support in line with the increase in foreign visitors. ④ The main target is customers who are interested in whisky. (5) We will displays everything from the basics such as the manufacturing process to special attention and trivia. I had more requests. [Solution] In planning and designing this exhibition, we made a major shift in thinking from the whiskey museum, which was a general and exhaustive place for providing information on whiskey, and attempted a completely new displays approach. Based on the concept of "learning the essence of Nikka whiskey through the brand stories of Nikka's four products", we focused on four brands that represent Nikka and turned their brand stories into displays and experiences. We aimed to create a place where you can experience the essence of Nikka Whiskey and the basic knowledge of whiskey while following the brand story. In displays we have introduced for the first time displays production that whiskey fans salivate that we have never touched before, such as talking videos of various people working at the distillery and introducing the important role of the blender. displays commentary includes trivia information for the main target, and also incorporates many displays contents that approach the secrets of the manufacturing process that shape the individuality of the product. Regarding multilingualization, displays commentary is basically written in Japanese and English, and as a response to the Chinese people who have the largest number of visitors, we have introduced digital technology that allows you to read the translated commentary on your personal mobile phone. <Our project members> [Sales and project management] Tadayuki Matsubara [Creative direction] Keiu Tamura [concept design direction] Fujie Suzuki [concept design] Akika Yamada, Kensaku Jodo [Planning] Tomoko Yanagihara, Atsuro Iizuka [Production] Tsukasa Iwasaki, Ikushige Umemoto
