At the "Kadena Roadside Station," you can see the entire Kadena Air Base, the largest US Air Force base in the Far East. This project is a renovation of the "Learning and displays Room" on the third floor of the building, aiming to enrich it as a "place for peace learning" for school trip students and tourists, and a "place for local learning" for local people and children. The contents of displays begin with a prologue that tells us that Kadena Town is truly a "base town" with 82% of the town area being occupied by US military bases, and then trace the history of Kadena Town surrounding the bases from the prewar period when it flourished as the center of economy, culture, and transportation, to the Battle of Okinawa which marked the beginning of the formation of Kadena Air Base, the US military occupation period when the bases continued to expand, the post-reversion period when the burden of the bases continued, and up to the present day, while asking the viewer, "Why are the bases here? Why do they not disappear?" Using the keyword "There's a base in my town," displays unravels the presence of the base from the perspective of "me" and "my family," who have lived next to Kadena Air Base, and features interview footage of people living in Kadena Town and manga commentary featuring "me" and "my family." The displays is designed to help visitors think about life in a base town by displays the noise and smells, and by placing Kadena Air Base on a map to get a sense of its size.

The SC Business Fair, organized by the Japan Shopping Center Association, is one of the largest events in the shopping center industry, bringing together people involved in shopping centers. We exhibited for three days from January 25th to 27th, 2023. In conjunction with the book "Let's Create a Happy Space: The Hardworking People of NOMURA Co.,Ltd.", published in February 2023, we created a "happy space" for visitors with a white-based booth concept design, mirrored walls, books on the fixtures and shelves, and coffee service. Approximately 670 people visited our booth over the three days. * "Let's Create a Happy Space: The Hardworking People of NOMURA Co.,Ltd.": This book introduces our cutting-edge spatial design, from amusement facilities to hotels, museums, and offices, to create spaces that evoke happiness.

This is the Saitama Shintoshin store of PAPABUBBLE, an art candy shop that started in the back alleys of Barcelona and has spread to more than 30 countries around the world. It is an experiential store where candy craftsmen and customers can enjoy candy together through candy making performances that take place in the store. In the Saitama Shintoshin store, we aimed to create a seamless store that removes the boundary between the kitchen space where the performance takes place and the customers as much as possible so that customers can enjoy making candy more realistically. Therefore, the interior concept design is based on the concept of making customers feel as if they are in the kitchen, and the main material is the same stainless steel as the kitchen. Kitchen equipment and kitchen materials are scattered throughout the store. In addition, in the stock space in the store, we deliberately use vinyl curtains for factories to show the ingredients of the candy, maximizing the sense of realism of art candy being created right in front of you. As a next-generation candy shop that is conscious of experiential consumption and SDGs, we have launched a project that allows customers to participate in production, and a new service that transforms the edges of candies that were previously disposed of as scraps into premium products that are difficult to obtain.

This is the Machida store of PAPABUBBLE, an art candy shop originating from Barcelona, Spain. We aimed to create a symbolic concept design that would be the base of the PAPABUBBLE brand in the Machida area, taking advantage of the long and narrow section located next to the escalator in the shopping mall. The section had low visibility from the entrance of the shopping mall, and the view from the escalator changes from up and down, and it could be approached from multiple traffic lines, so the main viewpoint was not fixed and it was difficult to "show the store's face" and attract customers. Therefore, we made a plan to make good use of the location, which can be seen from all angles, up, down, left and right, thanks to the escalators and multiple traffic lines, and turn it into a strength for attracting customers. Specifically, we boldly arranged about 7m x 90 aluminum bars that resemble candy bars, the symbol of PAPABUBBLE, in the space, and painted each side a different color to create a mechanism that changes color depending on the angle from which it is viewed. This visual effect is used to attract customers into the store, and the floor plan is designed to allow them to enjoy shopping. The gradual color changes also represent the variety of PAPABUBBLE candies and their flavors, which are created through magical performances.

Following on from the 15th anniversary renovation in 2013, for which we were in charge of planning and design supervision, we were involved in the 20th anniversary renovation from the planning stage. After several renovations, the hotel was opened in 2019 as a milestone project that marked the completion of the entire renovation. The welcome space on the first floor and the restaurant floor on the fifth floor were completely renovated, the signs within the building were renewed, and new digital signage was installed. The renovation was based on the concept for the 15th anniversary, "Romanticship Umihotaru," and unlike the fourth floor, which had all openings facing the sea, the image of the space was created with only inward-facing openings and special decorations.

This is a renovation project for the Global Innovation Center of Amada, a company that boasts one of the world's top market shares in the metal processing technology and sales and development of processing equipment. The brand appeal area, technology displays, communication space, actual equipment displays area, and sales negotiation space were planned based on the "value that Amada brings to the world." This facility allows visitors to experience the "passion for building bonds with customers and manufacturing that contributes to society" that has been passed down since the company's founding, as well as the high level of technological capabilities, and allows them to feel the possibilities for the future that we will walk together with Amada.

This project involved the renovation of Saijoen Matcha Cafe, operated by AIYA, which opened inside Aeon Mall Toyokawa, the first new mall to open in the East Mikawa region of Toyokawa City, Aichi Prefecture. We were in charge of design, layout, and construction.

Toyama City, Toyama Prefecture, and NOMURA Co.,Ltd. Ltd. have opened the TOYAMA TOWN TREKKING SITE, a new lifestyle hub themed on transforming a closed gymnasium into one that connects to the outdoors. This project was selected as part of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications' 2016 "Public Facility Opening and Renovation Project," which aims to revitalize municipal public facilities with the private sector's efforts, such as through creators, and turn them into new business hubs. The goal is to renovate the vacant space of the Toyama City General Gymnasium into a multi-generational hub for residents to engage in town trekking (walking around town). "TTS" is a complex featuring a cafe, sports shop, and studio. The facility supports town trekking (hardware) and hosts regular events in nutrition education, physical education, and health education (software), operating as a new public service to support the health of Toyama residents. Taking advantage of its location adjacent to Kansui Park, which is visited by 1.4 million people annually, the facility will be used not only by users of the Toyama City General Gymnasium but also as a base for exploring the wider area, allowing residents to experience an "extension of healthy life expectancy" and "improvement of quality of life (QOL)." The government also aims to build a "virtuous cycle model between residents' healthy behavior and the local economy." This is a cutting-edge project in Japan. "TTS" provides "time and space that is necessary for the health of people and cities, not just time or space, but time and space for human development," and slowly creates a "space" where you can share something that belongs to you and no one else with someone else.

This is Head Office relocation project for the Wealth Management Group. With the theme of "Bringing a comfortable hotel feel to the office," because Wealth Management is involved in the hotel business, we designed the office space for employees to use for business purposes. Based on the client's corporate philosophy of providing Japanese charm and culture as an "experience value" and delivering excitement and stable prosperity to all customers, the client can choose not only a place where they can concentrate, but also a place where they can relax like in a hotel, and by providing authentic coffee and tea in the work space, we are trying to use these "experience values" in business, and designing it to lead to the prosperity of the client's business.

Tokyu Land Corporation's Sapporo branch, which continuously provides comfortable housing and new lifestyles centered on the brand "BRANZ", is based on the brand message "Environmentally advanced, from housing." We create well-being lifestyles that are friendly to both people and people, and create green homes for a sustainable future. This time, it is a renewal project aiming to create an office suitable for creating such an environmentally advanced condominium. We reviewed the value and functions required of the office, and designed it based on the concept of "Open Living" to create an environment that promotes well-being not only for customers who visit our office, but also for our employees who spend their daily lives.

This is the second store in Japan of an Italian delicatessen and restaurant from London, England. Muromachi, which focuses on pasta dishes, has an open theater kitchen in front, and the layout is such that you can welcome customers and enjoy the live feeling of cooking. With the CI color of pistachio green as an accent, and a slightly subdued color tone that matches the townscape of Muromachi, this restaurant has a different charm than the first restaurant.

This is a renovation project for guest rooms, a bar, and a façade of a ryokan located in the western part of the Izu Peninsula in Shizuoka Prefecture. It has been reopened as "Atara Night Nishiizu", which is derived from the Manyoshu poem "A wonderful night that is regrettable to end". In terms of guest rooms, we have five suites and one concept room for groups and families. On the first floor, we were in charge of the renovation of the bar, the design of the façade, and the live kitchen.

This project involved the renovation of River City 21 Shinkawa, a tower residence with 505 units completed in 1995. The property is located in a riverside location facing the Chuo Ohashi Bridge along the Sumida River, with an attractive view of nature and openness. The Chuo Ohashi Bridge, which spans the foot of the condominium, is lit up at night and is known as a landmark of the Tsukuda area. A promenade has been developed along the Sumida River, making it a place of relaxation for local residents to go for walks and jogs. The residences are available in a wide range of plans, from 1R/1K for singles to 2LDK, and there are many unique floor plans, such as Japanese-style rooms with Ryukyu tatami mats and plans with spacious stock rooms. Following a change of ownership, we were commissioned to design and construction this pioneering bayside tower condominium, a property with high potential for nature and city coexistence, with our mission of adding value that is in line with the current era.

The new corner "Sound" opened in the Forest on the 5th floor of the Science Museum is an displays room where you can not only listen to sound with your ears, but also "observe it with the eyes of science." Through the various "waveforms" drawn by the four experience devices "Jumbo Piano," "Laser Dance," "Aqua Wave," and "Chladni Pattern (relocated)," you can learn about the three major elements of sound (amplitude, frequency, and timbre) while playing. Among them, "Jumbo Piano" is an interactive device that converts the performance of a giant piano into a waveform in real time and projects it on a screen, and is popular not only with children but with a wide range of generations. In accordance with the basic displays plan presented by the client, we considered and produced the equipment, content, and graphics to realize the image.

In order to provide guests with the hotel's concept of "experiencing Hokkaido," we planned the ultimate locally produced hotel with sustainability in mind while cherishing the culture and ideas that have been cherished in this area. In addition to using wood, stone, and soil from Hokkaido as building materials for the exterior, interiors, and structure, we aimed to use all materials to the fullest, such as making furniture that effectively utilizes building material scraps. In addition, some of the furniture in the hotel lounge is made in Asahikawa, a famous furniture town, using wood from Hokkaido, and the regular market event is held in collaboration with local producers, creating a connection between the hotel and the local area in various ways, both in terms of soft and hard aspects. In addition to using ingredients from Hokkaido (agricultural products, marine products, dairy products, etc.), the restaurant uses ingredients that allow you to see the faces of the producers, and the guest rooms are equipped with wooden speakers and record players associated with the jazz city of Sapporo, and beautiful photos of various parts of Hokkaido by five photographers are displayed as art, weaving in mechanisms that allow guests to deeply experience Hokkaido through their five senses. For those whose destination is Sapporo and those whose starting point is Sapporo, this hotel offers a one-of-a-kind experience that can only be found in Sapporo, the gateway to Hokkaido.
