In this food hall, we have designed a comfortable and relaxed dining space inspired by the large nature. In the approximately 70m atrium space, we planned a ceiling louver that evokes the calm and magnificent waves of the Seto Inland Sea. The relaxed wave concept design connects the entire store and generously wraps the entire audience. In the center, we set up a “hill” that connects the 1st and 2nd floors like a topography to create a new community. As a gathering place that can be used for various purposes, it will be a place where each person can find a place to eat, read, relax, and spend time. In addition, the chairs and sofas are made of denim, which is representative of Okayama industry, so that you can experience the unique charm of this area. We hope that this food hall will be loved for a long time as a dining space where people can enjoy the charm of Setouchi, connect through food, and foster hopes for the future while harmonizing with the rich environment of Mori no Machi Grace. hoping.

We received a request to make proposals suitable for the prologue and epilogue of the Miyajima pilgrimage, regarding the creation of medium- to long-term staged development scenarios and the nature of facilities to be newly established by the Hiroshima Electric Railway Group in the area adjacent to the passenger terminal. [Solution] We thought it was important to build a development strategy from the perspective of regional branding in order to prepare "Miyajimaguchi", which is a transit point to Miyajima, from beginning to end.・Naming and VI planning to give a new identity to the colorless Miyajimaguchi (*) ・Leasing like a trip to find investors in the future Hiroshima/Miyajimaguchi ・Lighting plan and timber to feel the surface of the Seto Inland Sea We approached the creation of a place and space that adds glamor to the ``Miyajimaguchi Town Opening Phase 1,'' such as by actively adopting wood that evokes the town of Hatsukaichi, from both the soft and hard sides.

Although the number of exhibits increased significantly, it was not easy to change displays due to the structure of the room and the limitations of displays cases, and the exhibits had become obsolete.・The old displays did not have a clear characteristic and did not become the “face of the region”, and the content was not segregated compared to other museums that came later.・There was a need to respond to social demands, such as efforts to convey the joy of discovery and learning through objects (materials), and an increase in hands-on and participatory elements.・It was necessary to make it universal, mainly for foreigners and people with disabilities, to deal with damage and discoloration due to deterioration over time, air conditioning malfunction, and LED lighting. [Solution] ・After consulting with the curator, displays contents will be completely replaced, and through both inclusive concept design and displays evaluation workshops, the direction of displays contents will be confirmed, the experience displays will be verified, and universal concept design will be implemented. In addition to creating a museum as the "face of the region", we have adopted a partially selected flow line instead of a simple one-way flow line by organizing the flow line from "Museum Street" to each displays corner, centering on the "Communication Zone".
