% Arabica Riyadh Roastery

% Arabica Riyadh Roastery

This project involved concept design, planning, and construction supervision of the second Saudi Arabian location for "%ARABICA," a coffee shop brand originating in Kyoto. The client requested the renovation of a warehouse of approximately 900 square meters and the installation of a custom-made, gigantic roasting machine. Therefore, we planned a theater-like store that would showcase the massive roastery while making the most of the vast space. A platform visible from every seat was created at the back of the store, and the star of the show, the roasting machine, was placed proudly in the center. The bean cellar, a symbol of "%ARABICA," surrounds it, enhancing the main attraction. This store also features "%ARABICA's" talented baristas, who act as an orchestra and are also main characters. A U-shaped kitchen counter is located in the center of the store, allowing the baristas' brilliant performances and pleasant sounds to resonate throughout the store. To allow customers to enjoy the live atmosphere of these two main characters from anywhere in the seating area, a large, column-free atrium was created, and seating was arranged around it. The main seating area consists of box seats separated by sheer curtains. These seats, designed with consideration for the personal space between men and women in Saudi Arabia, are arranged in two layers on either side of the open atrium. In addition, there are bench seats around the kitchen counter where customers can watch the baristas at work, and counter seats offering a panoramic view of the entire store, providing a variety of seating options to suit different customer preferences. Pleasant light streams in from the atrium ceiling through perforated metal. These elements create a bright and open space where customers can enjoy delicious coffee and a theater-inspired concept design and presentation that engages all five senses.

Muroran City Environmental Science Museum

Muroran City Environmental Science Museum

As a successor to the Muroran City Youth Science Museum (opened in 1963), Hokkaido's first science museum, a new facility has opened with "environment" as its theme. The aim is to create displays allow children and people of all ages to become familiar with science on a daily basis and feel hope for the future of the Earth and the region. The environment corner introduces environmental innovation projects that utilize Muroran's unique characteristics and strengths cultivated through manufacturing, as well as initiatives for a sustainable future. In particular, the main displays, "Watching Moruerani," is a virtual displays where visitors walk on satellite images of Muroran spread on the floor and use AR tablets to explore manufacturing sites, renewable energy sites, and natural spots. Visitors can experience scenery that is usually difficult to see in person, such as 360-degree videos of factories and drone footage of natural landscapes. The science experience corner consists of devices that allow visitors to experience the basics and principles of science. Some of the devices from the old building have been remade and reinstalled, carrying on the history of the facility and the memories of the citizens. The scattered devices are connected by experimental counters, creating a more intimate communication space, and playful elements are incorporated into displays, such as large playground equipment inspired by Muroran's natural environment.
