For the exterior concept design, we reprinted the copper plates used for the outer walls of the former main residence, which were washed away by the tsunami, and used new scale walls made of copper plates. As time passes, the texture and color of the copper plates will change like those of the former main residence. In addition, elements of a tuna fishing boat are extracted, and R-windows and handrails are incorporated into the architecture.

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”

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.

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

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
