LOQUAT Nishiizu

LOQUAT Nishiizu

Located in the Toi district of Nishiizu, the Former Suzuki Residence is a large mansion consisting of a main building and three storehouses, and has been popular as a central presence in the area since the Edo period. Keeping in mind the value of spending time with the beauty of the past, we have renovated each building and exterior as an auberge with two rooms for overnight stays. The floor plan of the main building, which gives a feeling of being closed off, has been reconsidered, and the space has been expanded vertically and horizontally to ensure modern comfort. We wanted to inherit the atmosphere of the past by making the most of the spatial individuality of each of the three storehouses and adding a minimal design. Two of them were renovated into lodging buildings with luxurious outdoor open-air baths, and one of them was a lounge. and a function that also serves as a spa. Combined with surrounding accommodation facilities, we have realized an auberge that blends into the community and is loved. [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] While Toi has long been popular as a hot spring inn area, there are few variations of restaurants, and there are cafes that serve as sightseeing bases and tourism content that makes use of the food resources of Nishiizu. For many years, the lack of excursion consumption by tourists has been a problem. Rather than prioritizing business profitability, the request was that the facility should be of benefit to the region, and that it would continue to be accepted and loved by tourists and local residents. [Solution] At our company, we believe that it is necessary to respect the passage of time that the buildings have accumulated on this land, find out the flavor of each building, and create a design that can turn them into charm. The floor plan was reviewed while considering the structural burden of the existing non-conforming building. , Sannokura respects the taste of each building, such as the two-story vertical spread and the mud wall hidden behind the board wall, and that becomes the charm of each facility itself. [Customer's voice] As a result of the restoration of the former Suzuki residence, which represents the history of Doi, with extremely high-quality design and construction technology in a short delivery time, not only tourists who come to "LOQUAT Nishiizu" but also the local community Residents also visit the museum almost every day, and it has become a place of relaxation that provides a little bit of richness in their daily lives. Day after day, not only the lodging buildings, but also the restaurants, bakeries, and gelaterias are so busy that they continue to be full or sold out. <Our project members> [Sales and project management] Shinya Hiratsuka, Nobuyuki Yagi [Planning] Saki Ninomiya [Design and planning] Norio Koito, Hiroshi Inoue, Tadahiro Nakajima, Ryotaro Tezuka [Production and construction] Atsushi Endo, Takayuki Inoue, Kikuchi field

KeiyoGAS Community Terrace

KeiyoGAS Community Terrace

Keiyo Gas' Ichikawa Showroom in Ichikawa City, Chiba Prefecture has been renovated into a community space open to the local community. The name "KeiyoGAS Community Terrace" (commonly known as "Terasu") reflects the company's concept of "towards the next happy!" . Based on the concept of "porch = terrace", the inside of the building is also concept design to be a place for everyone, accepting the free activities and various ways of spending time of the local people. In addition, under the facility slogan, "Children, adults, and the city," we have put in place mechanisms that allow users to participate in community building and efforts to support local lifestyles and activities. Through this initiative, we aimed to create a community that grows together with the citizens and the region. [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] The showroom was opened with the concept of allowing customers to experience and experience the goodness of gas. For Keiyo Gas, which is rebranding from a gas and energy company to a "comprehensive lifestyle industry operator," the challenge was to create a space that embodied "what is the meaning and appearance of a required showroom?" [Solution] Through brainstorming about the future of showrooms, we set up a policy of “de-showroom” that utilizes this space as a place to create a close relationship between Keiyo Gas and users. By reborn as a community space that is close to the local community, we aim to create a community that Keiyo Gas and local residents can create together while embodying the corporate concept of a comprehensive lifestyle industry operator that is "close to people and their lives." It became a space. [Customer's voice] We started to consider in-house with the aim of moving away from the showroom, but we were struggling to create a concrete space. After making proposals, we received many surprising proposals that could not have been imagined from internal discussions alone, and realized them, while leveraging the strengths of a gas company such as "community-based" and our future vision. Thank you. There were a wide variety of considerations and meetings on both soft and hard aspects, but each time they responded very politely and empathetically. This kind of attitude is very reassuring, and the members of our company feel that they are creating together, and I look back on this project. In addition, the proposed name of the facility was reflected in the organization name, and the first hiragana team was born in our company. We would like to thank everyone who has been in charge of this project and everyone who has provided support. Thank you very much for this time. <Our project members> [Sales and project management] Shun Funatsu, Ryomasa Yano [Planning] Naomi Kajimura, Haruka Sekoguchi [design, layout] Sayaka Koga, Masako Tanaka [Production and construction] Ai Suzuki, Koki Ogasawara

“Creating the future of work styles for the NOMURA Group” Group company base consolidation project

“Creating the future of work styles for the NOMURA Group” Group company base consolidation project

In March 2021, NOMURA, Ltd. opened a new office in the Daiba Garden City Building adjacent to its headquarters (Odaiba, Tokyo) that is suited to the new normal era. The company aims to encourage employees to communicate and demonstrate greater creativity while taking advantage of the diverse work styles and values of NOMURA Ltd. Group. In 2019, NOMURA Group launched a group company base consolidation project with the aim of creating an environment in which employees can work together and demonstrate greater synergy. In response to the changes in work styles and social issues caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the company set three keywords, "health," "experiment," and "brand," and explored the nature of real office space in the new normal era to create "future work styles." - We believe that the function of the office in the new normal era will change from a "workplace" to an "innovative space that induces communication," where diverse human resources from inside and outside the company gather and actively exchange ideas and encounters that can only be found in the real world. Therefore, the communication space "RESET SPACE_2" was designed with the concept of "Unique Park" and was planned as a park-like space that any employee can use to suit their diverse and unique work styles. 100% fairwood is used. ・CONFERIUM is a proposal for a new conference room area, and is an attempt to "displays the behavior of working styles" that proactively shows unique meetings. The know-how used in displays spaces was applied to office spaces, such as darkening the common corridors to highlight the conference rooms as displays. ・Group addresses were adopted in the creative work area. In addition, the creative floor allows concept design concept design concept design as the sense of scale and texture of materials, which are great strengths when designing spaces. By clarifying the purpose, it became a low-cost and sophisticated space. This project was planned, designed, construction, and operated by NOMURA Group.

JR Nichinan Line Nichinan Station Building

JR Nichinan Line Nichinan Station Building

~The station building as a community space where everyone can spend time comfortably, not just waiting for trains~ Based on the concept of creating a place to nurture a community, workshops and questionnaire surveys were conducted with local residents from the planning stage. User needs are identified and reflected in the design. In order to create opportunities to experience various cultures through books during the time spent in the station building, we have also set up a corner where you can browse books and picture books. In order to convey the charm of local resources through the use of the station building, we actively adopted the local specialty "Obi cedar" in various parts of the space and planned and produced the creation of a space where users can experience the charm of Obi cedar through experience. [Customer issues/requests] We received a request to make the Nichinan station building, which had no place to stay and was only a place for getting on and off trains before renovation, to foster a local community and make it a place where you can feel the "local charm". [Solution] In order to convey the appeal of local resources through the use of the station building, we collaborated with a local design office, Ryohin Keikaku Co., Ltd. In order to create opportunities to experience the charm of Obi cedar through experience, we adopted wood for the station building façade and window frames while harmonizing with the forest that spreads behind the station building. At the same time, we implemented a signage plan that allows the presence of the station to be recognized even from afar, and produced a space that harmonizes and fuses with the surrounding environment and the station building using wood as the base. [Customer's voice] People other than JR users have also started to visit the station building, and it has been renovated as an attractive space where local people can gather. We would like to continue using the station building as a place for the local community, such as holding events. <Our project members> [Sales] Reiko Ibe [Planning producer, workshop concept design, design supervision] Mari Matsumoto -Related links- [News release] ・ NOMURA produces regional revitalization in Nichinan City, Miyazaki Prefecture through public-private partnership 1st stage: Old folk house restoration facility opens ・Nichinan City, Miyazaki Prefecture and NOMURA, Ltd. conclude a “comprehensive cooperation agreement on regional revitalization” ・Nichinan City, Miyazaki Prefecture and NOMURA, Ltd. conclude a “regional revitalization entrepreneur exchange program”・ NOMURA is working as a creative partner to create a community that co-creates the community.

Bosch Shibuya Head Office 10F &quot;The NEST&quot;

Bosch Shibuya Head Office 10F "The NEST"

Renovation project of the Bosch Corporation Shibuya headquarters. We were in charge of the planning, design, layout, and construction the renovation of the 10th floor into a communication space. Based on our experience of remodeling the 4th floor of our head office building into a communication space called "RE/SP," we believe it is important to create mechanisms that foster interaction among employees. Based on the concept of "SCRAMBLE for MEET UP" (people gather, hatch new ideas, and then fly outside), we aim to create a place where diverse employees can gather and interact on a daily basis. increase. Just like Shibuya, where Bosch's head office is located, we created a space that collaborates with various artists to express a mixture of encounters and exchanges, and has an open concept design that allows for open communication. I also participated in the Kotozukuri phase, such as logo concept design and event planning and management. [Customer's issue/theme] Aiming to revitalize internal communication and create innovation, we were asked to concept design a place where we could interact from a different perspective than the office floor. [Solution] We proposed a space configuration that would allow each employee to regain vitality and deepen connections. Specifically, with the aim of creating opportunities for communication that transcends boundaries of age and department, we will create counters where you can have casual conversations with a cup of coffee in one hand, places where you can relax on sofas, and spaces where you can exercise and refresh yourself. We divided the area into 6 major functions. By actively incorporating furniture and art that serve as opportunities for communication, we also aimed to create a place where accidental ideas that are difficult to come up with in the office area are born. We also have product displays where you can come into contact with Bosch's DNA, and it is also a place to give hints for creating innovation. <Our project members> [Sales and project management] Kazushige Ishii, Kaori Murakami, Tomoyo Shishibori [design, layout] Manabu Yamanobe, Mitsutaka Hagiwara [Planning] Kenta Masubuchi [Production and construction] Tetsuji Koike

Brillia Shinagawa Minamioi Communication Salon oooi

Brillia Shinagawa Minamioi Communication Salon oooi

A community place where you can say "Oh!" to connect with "people", "life" and "town". We propose opening the condominium sales center to the community so that local residents and new residents living in condominiums can get to know each other. For the local residents, it is possible to make them feel positive about the huge housing complex that will be built in the future. We aimed to create a place where it would be easy to do. [Customer issues/requests] Early integration of new residents into condominiums and the local community has become a major issue. From this social background, this project was started because the sales center was required to be a starting point for the local community that is suitable for such requests. [Solution] As a starting point for the local community, the sales center is designed to function as a "place" where "people who already live" and "people who will live in the future" can easily drop by and interact with each other. The plan was based on an old-fashioned Japanese house. The "doma" connects the exterior and interior spaces, the "living room" is a place where users can have a conversation, and the "engawa" is a space where people can casually talk to each other. Through these concept design, we were able to visualize the local community and provide lifestyle updates. [Customer's voice] I think that the project was possible because of your company's teamwork, with your cooperation in many aspects such as concept making, planning, introduction of operators, design and construction. I'm really thankful to you. <Our project members> [Sales and project management] Shinpei Watanabe, Yuri Utsugi [Planning] Shoko Miyazaki, Taku Sugimoto [design, layout] Ryo Onishi, Hiroaki Koshizen, Kenta Omoto [Production and construction] Soji Wakasugi Photographed by Co., Ltd.

Weathernews in-house nursery school “WNI RAIN KIDS HOUSE”

Weathernews in-house nursery school “WNI RAIN KIDS HOUSE”

[Outline of the project] WNI RAIN KIDS HOUSE (known as WNI RAIN KIDS HOUSE) is an in-house nursery school established by Weathernews with the aim of creating an environment in which employees can balance raising children and being active in the workplace. This in-house nursery school was established on the premises of Makuhari Techno Garden, where the company resides, with the aim of creating an environment where employees can work with peace of mind. In addition, the name of the nursery school, "RAIN", expresses the hope that children will be respectful, adventurous, and independent. The company requested a unique space design that could express the concept, and an efficient function development that accommodates childcare of different ages, such as a nursery school and an after-school room. Our company consists of fathers and mothers who work as project members. Utilizing my childcare experience, I planned and designed the naming of each class and the educational program. We have pursued the uniqueness of Weathernews down to the smallest details construction such as the space that expresses "RAIN", logo graphics, and modeling. [Customer's voice] In order to create a facility unique to Weathernews, we discussed various themes and concepts within the company, and NOMURA, including the process, did a good job. For example, concept design and concept of the logo mark grabbed the hearts of the staff, and I was impressed with the idea of drawing a weather chart on the floor on the day of the company's founding, so I adopted it. We received a wide range of proposals from NOMURA, and were able to open a wonderful in-house nursery school that is typical of Weathernews.
