パナソニックセンター東京の1階が、小中学生が環境について学び考え、行動へとつなげる体験型展示空間へとリニューアルされました。この空間では、パナソニックのCO2削減への取り組みである長期環境ビジョン「Panasonic GREEN IMPACT」を紹介しながら、子どもたち一人ひとりが「ACT」へのアイデアを見つけ、環境問題へACTIONしていく仲間となることを目指しています。環境問題という明確な答えのない課題に対して、一人ひとりが答えを探りながら学ぶことのできる場として、空間に散りばめられたさまざまな形状は、これから子どもたちが自らつくってゆく未完成のかたちを表現しています。また、大きな4つのサインで問いを投げかけることで、ゲームコンテンツやハンズオン展示を体験しながらヒントを探ることができます。スケールの大きな環境問題を自分ごとに置き換えながら日常の行動につなげられるように、コンテンツは身近な家の中や暮らしを舞台としています。加えて、「押す」「回す」といったアナログ的なギミックとデジタルコンテンツを融合させたゲームや、仲間との共同作業を通じて、リアル空間ならではの体を使った楽しさや学びを得られるよう工夫しました。

パナソニックグループの大方針である「Panasonic GREEN IMPACT」を展示として来場者に伝えつつも、全体の空間デザインでそれを具現化し、可能な限りロスを出さない展示ブースを実現しました。環境負荷に配慮し、最小限の建築物や床材を使い、リサイクル素材を多く使用することで、ブースの施工・ロジスティックの面から、カーボンフットプリントを削減でき、同グループの方針を世界に伝えました。また、各エリアに配置したシンボルサインはそれぞれプロダクトを使って造形をデザインしました。シンボルとして人びとが集う場を提供しつつ、それらをプロダクトで構成することで、来場者・メディアに向けて共にわかりやすくメッセージをアピールしました。

This is a next-generation entertainment food hall in Kabukicho run by Hamakura Tateki Shoten Seisakusho, the company behind the alley boom, Ebisu Yokocho and Shibuya Yokocho. The approximately 1,000 square meter floor is a food festival district with a total of 10 stores that fuse food, music, and video with the themes of "festivals" and "food from all over the country." From Hokkaido in the north to Kyushu and Okinawa in the south, and neighboring South Korea, we offer local cuisine, B-class gourmet food, rice bowls, noodles, yakitori, gyoza, alcohol, and more, including carefully selected farm-fresh ingredients that show the faces of the producers. "Soul food" is gathering here.

At "Michi-no-Eki Kadena," you can enjoy a panoramic view of Kadena Air Base, the largest U.S. Air Force base in the Far East. This project involved renovating the "Learning displays Room" on the third floor of the building, aiming to enhance it as a "place for peace education" for school trip students and tourists, and as a "place for local learning" for local people and children. displays begins with a prologue that conveys that Kadena Town is truly a "base town," with U.S. military bases occupying 82% of its area. It then traces the history of Kadena Town regarding the bases, from its pre-war period when it flourished as an economic, cultural, and transportation center, through the Battle of Okinawa which marked the beginning of the formation of Kadena Air Base, to the U.S. military occupation era when the bases continued to expand, to the post-reversion period when the burden of the bases continued, and up to the present day. The exhibition is structured to encourage visitors to consider "Why are the bases here? Why do the bases never disappear?" With the keyword "There's a base in my town," displays incorporates various features designed to help people relate to life in a base town, such as displays that allow visitors to experience the noise and smells, and displays place Kadena Air Base on a map of their own town to get a sense of its size.

Taikisha is a world-leading global environmental engineering company that contributes to society through advanced technologies related to energy, air, and water. This project is a plan for a communication space aimed at creating open innovation with Taikisha's customers and partner companies. The reception area on the 29th floor of the Shinjuku Grand Tower, where Head Office are located, was renovated into a showroom, and we were in charge of planning, concept design, and digital content creation for "TAIKISHA INNOVATION GATE Shinjuku," a gateway to co-create new value, aiming to solve the challenges of business partners and social issues.

Initially, Akikusa Gakuen approached us with a request for seismic retrofitting work on their gymnasium. Along with the seismic retrofitting and the renewal of the gymnasium's facade and interiors, they requested that the passageway connecting the school building and the gymnasium be transformed from a "damp and dark atmosphere to a bright and clean passageway. They also wanted a space that the school could leave for future generations." This led to our design project to concept design a passageway space that expresses the identity of Akikusa Gakuen. The most important aspect of this project was creating a space that people would continue to cherish. Therefore, we created the origin of concept design in a workshop with students, and worked on a "concept design of the process" to foster affection and ensure its continuation. Students were asked to bring in photographs that expressed "Akikusa-ness," and we extracted the feelings embedded in them, which were then verbalized in the form of "#〇〇," and elevated into concept design that was incorporated into the passageway. We encouraged students to internalize concept design as something personal to them and spread it to those around them, so that the "Akikusa style" would be passed down through generations and people would continue to interact with the space with affection.

This is the Machida branch of PAPABUBBLE, an art candy shop originating in Barcelona, Spain. Taking advantage of its distinctive, long, narrow location next to an escalator within a commercial facility, we aimed to create a symbolic concept design that would serve as a hub for the PAPABUBBLE brand in the Machida area. The original location had low visibility from the commercial facility's entrance, and the changing perspectives from the escalator and the multiple access routes meant there was no single dominant viewpoint, making it difficult to attract customers. Therefore, we planned to leverage the location's ability to be viewed from all angles—up, down, left, and right—through the escalator and multiple access routes, transforming it into a strength for attracting customers. Specifically, we boldly arranged approximately 7m x 90 aluminum rods, resembling PAPABUBBLE's iconic candy bars, within the space. By painting each side a different color, we created a visual effect where the color changes depending on the viewing angle. This visual effect draws customers into the store, creating a floor plan designed to enhance their shopping experience. The gradual color changes are reminiscent of the magical performances that create PAPABUBBLE candies and the wide variety of their flavors.

The SC Business Fair is the largest event in the industry, organized by the Japan Shopping Center Association, bringing together all those involved in the shopping center industry. Our company also exhibited for three days from January 25th to 27th, 2023. In conjunction with the book "Let's Create a 'Happy Space' - The Dedicated People of NOMURA Co.,Ltd.."*, published in February 2023, we created a booth concept design based on white, with mirrored walls, books displayed on fixtures and shelves, and offered coffee, creating an atmosphere that would make visitors feel "happy." A total of approximately 670 people visited our booth over the three days. * "Let's Create a 'Happy Space' - The Dedicated People of NOMURA Co.,Ltd.": This book introduces cutting-edge space creation projects undertaken by our company, ranging from amusement facilities to hotels, museums, and offices, all aimed at evoking "happiness" in people.

This is the Saitama Shintoshin branch of PAPABUBBLE, an art candy shop that started in an alley in Barcelona and has spread to over 30 countries worldwide. It is an experiential store where candy artisans and customers can enjoy candy together through candy-making performances that take place inside the store. At the Saitama Shintoshin store, in order to allow customers to enjoy candy making with a greater sense of realism, we aimed for a seamless store that removes as much of the boundary between the kitchen space where the performance takes place and the customers as possible. 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 stainless steel, the same material as the kitchen. Kitchen equipment and materials are scattered throughout the store. Furthermore, in the store's stock space, factory-grade vinyl curtains are used to deliberately show the candy ingredients, maximizing the sense of realism as art candy is created right before your eyes. As a next-generation candy shop that is conscious of experiential consumption and SDGs, we are also launching projects that allow customers to participate in the manufacturing process and a new service that transforms candy scraps that were previously discarded into hard-to-find premium products.

Following the 15th-anniversary renovation in 2013, where I was in charge of design and design supervision, I participated in the 20th-anniversary renovation from the planning stage. This milestone project marked the completion of the entire renovation after several previous renovations, and it reopened in 2019. The renovation included a complete overhaul of the welcome space on the first floor and the restaurant floor on the fifth floor, as well as updating the interior signage and installing new digital signage. Based on the concept of "Romanticship Umihotaru" from the 15th anniversary, the renovation differed from the fourth floor, which had large openings facing the sea, in that we created the image of the space using only inward-facing openings and special decorations.

This is a renovation project for Amada's Global Innovation Center, a company that boasts a world-leading market share in metal processing technology and the sales and development of processing equipment. The brand appeal area, technology displays, communication space, actual machine displays area, and sales negotiation space were planned around the theme of "the value that Amada brings to the world." This facility allows visitors to experience firsthand the "passion for building strong relationships with customers and contributing to society through manufacturing" that has been passed down since the company's founding, as well as the high level of their technological capabilities, and to feel the possibilities of a future walking together with Amada.

This project involved the renovation of "Saijoen Matcha Cafe," operated by Aiya Co., Ltd., which opened inside Aeon Mall Toyokawa in Toyokawa City, Aichi Prefecture, the first newly opened mall in the Higashi-Mikawa region. Our company was responsible for design, layout, construction.

Toyama City, Toyama Prefecture, and NOMURA Co.,Ltd. Co., Ltd. have opened "TOYAMA TOWN TREKKING SITE," a new lifestyle hub themed around "transforming a closed gymnasium into a gymnasium that connects to the outside." This project was selected as part of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications' FY2016 "Public Facility Open Renovation Project," which aims to revitalize public facilities owned by local governments with private sector vitality, such as creators, and turn them into new business hubs. The goal is to "revitalize" the dead space of the Toyama City General Gymnasium through renovation, creating a multi-generational exchange hub where residents can engage in town trekking (walking around town) and other activities. "TTS" is a complex facility that includes a cafe, sports shop, and studio. The facility will be equipped with facilities (hardware) to support town trekking, and will be operated as part of a new public service to support the health of Toyama citizens by regularly holding events (software) focused on "food education," "physical education," and health education. Leveraging its location adjacent to Kansui Park, which attracts 1.4 million visitors annually, this project aims to be a pioneering initiative in Japan. It will be used not only by users of the Toyama City General Gymnasium but also as a base for exploring the area, allowing citizens to experience "extended healthy life expectancy" and "improved quality of life (QOL)," while the local government strives to build a "positive cycle model of residents' healthy behavior and the local economy." "TTS" provides "time and space that nurtures people, not just time or space alone, which is necessary for the health of people and the city," and slowly creates a "space" where you can share something that belongs to no one else with others.

This is a project to relocate Head Office of the Wealth Management Group. Based on the theme of "bringing the comfort of a hotel to the office," Wealth Management, being involved in the hotel business, has created a space where employees can leverage their daily work environment for business purposes. In line with the client's corporate philosophy of providing the charm and culture of Japan as "experiential value" and delivering inspiration and stable prosperity to all customers, the new office offers not only a place to concentrate but also a place to relax like in a hotel. High-quality coffee and tea are provided in the workspace, and the design is being tested to see how these "experiential values" can be leveraged for business, ultimately contributing 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.
