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.

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 new indoor playground "mirocco" opened in Kakegawa City, Shizuoka Prefecture in July 2025. It aims to be a place where not only children can play to their heart's content, but also families and local people can enjoy together. This facility was built by renovating the pool and hot spring facilities at the indoor facility "Tamarina" in 22nd Century Hill Park in Mansui, Kakegawa City, and renovating it into an all-weather playground. We were responsible for the entire process, from concept formulation to design, construction of interiors, play equipment, decoration, and operation, while utilizing our know-how in regional revitalization and facility business. In addition, as an independent DBO* project, we made private investments in this facility, and improved the facility's appeal by adding play equipment, built-in furniture, signs, graphics, etc. About the facility concept/space concept design The facility concept is "Let's create a bouncy everyday life." The name "mirocco" was decided by vote, with the intention of creating a facility that everyone will want to visit 365 days a year (3=mi/6=ro/5=ko). The main areas are "Guru Guru no Yama" where you can play with play equipment, "Waku Waku Base" where you can play quietly, "Hitoyasumi Lounge" where adults can relax, and "Haihai no Hara" where babies can play safely. In addition to these areas, "This Is Cafe", which has new stores in Shizuoka Prefecture, will open in Tamarina and offer a menu that is easy for customers of all ages to use. In addition, the interiors of the facility, play equipment, benches, etc. are made with local resources, and environmentally friendly materials are used in various places, such as benches made from local felled wood, a craft space where scraps and waste materials are used as craft materials, and plaster walls made from Kakegawa's "soil". *DBO: Abbreviation for Design Build Operate, a business method for developing public facilities. The public sector commissions private businesses to design, build, and operate the facility.

This is an office renovation plan for Star Precision, Head Office headquarters in Shizuoka City and the purpose of "Contributing to the sustainable development of society as a great small and medium-sized enterprise that takes on the world." The seven-story Head Office had its grand opening in 2017, with the first to sixth floors being open offices, and the seventh floor being a prestigious, secret executive floor. Seven years later, in 2024, it was decided to use the seventh floor as office space as well in response to an increase in the number of employees and changes in working styles. Based on the request, we proposed, designed, and construction the seventh floor together with Kiuchi Construction, Star Precision's prosperity partner, and reopened in February 2025. The plan, which has a light courtyard in the center of the floor, has a quiet area with 40 seats on the east side, an active area where lively discussions take place on the west side, private executive rooms on the south side, and an executive meeting room (usually an office area) on the north side, while maintaining an open atmosphere and maintaining a moderate sense of distance.

I-NEC has relocated Head Office to Frontier Meieki, an environmentally friendly, cutting-edge office building in Meieki, Nakamura-ku, Nagoya. The concept is "rays of hope," with the symbolic color "I-NEC Blue" and light interwoven in the space, so that people can take a new step and feel a hopeful future. The cutting-edge office space combines environmental consideration with concept design, and concept design elements of "light," "blue," and "environmentally friendly materials" create a place that embodies the company's purpose and vision. Under the direction of Taki Tanaka, representative of IZA, who is in charge of I-NEC's branding, a symbolic piece of "light" art was installed at the reception in collaboration with Takahiro Matsuo (artwork), representative of LUCENT Inc, and Setsuya Kurotaki (sound concept design), representative of NOiR inc. In addition, the entire office is gently enveloped in I-NEC Blue, bringing a sense of unity and connection to all who gather here. In addition, the existing base for the OA floor was washed and used as is, eliminating the need for finishing materials to reduce the environmental impact, and the walls are made of cement tiles made from recycled waste materials such as coal ash from thermal power plants and used coffee beans. We were in charge of the design and construction.

The Malaysian Pavilion, exhibited at the 2025 World Expo in Japan (Osaka-Kansai Expo), is a space that comprehensively expresses the tradition, diversity, and advanced nature of the multi-ethnic nation of Malaysia, with the theme of "INTERWOVEN - Weaving a Harmonious Future." At the center of the pavilion is the symbolic "Tree of Harmony," about 10 meters tall, whose leaves are hand-woven by artisans from all over Malaysia using sustainable natural materials, and whose trunk is an organic structure made by weaving fast-growing bamboo in a spiral shape. The morphological language of this design is also deployed in displays floor, lighting, and graphics, symbolizing the network that weaves the entire pavilion.
