This is a renovation project for Shiodome Edge (formerly Shiodome Annex Building). Having been built 20 years ago, the need for refreshing concept design and facilities of the entrance and common areas was increasing. In order to enhance competitiveness within the area, this renovation aimed to attract new tenants, improve the satisfaction of existing tenants, and increase the asset value of the building. Furthermore, based on the concept of "SELECTABLE OFFICE," concept design allows companies to choose common areas that match their brand by creating a unique atmosphere on each floor.

concept design This is a project for the interior and exterior of a salon for Nomura Real Estate Development Co. Based on the common concept of "wrapping and concealing" the interior and exterior to welcome customers, we developed four "skins": "a white pipe skin to conceal the facade," "a black plaster skin to create a gallery space," "a curtain skin to welcome customers," "a copper perforated metal skin to conceal customers in the waiting area," and "a white pipe skin to conceal the interior and exterior. The space is composed of four "concealment elements": a white pipe skin that conceals the facade, a black plaster skin that creates a gallery space, a curtain skin that welcomes visitors, and a perforated metal skin in a copper tone that conceals visitors in the waiting area. The space is a natural fusion of function and design, with a sense of security as if customers are hidden from the outside and enveloped once inside.

Located on the first floor of the main building at the Kawasaki Plant, this facility combines Fujitsu Sports with a flexible communication space. Based on the concept of "a place where everyone with diverse values can gather on an equal footing and move forward positively towards their dreams," displays corner, featuring items related to various sports teams and athletes, as well as items that deepen understanding of parasports, is designed to be easily accessible for wheelchair users. Some of the display stands and benches use precious wood carefully cultivated at a children's independence support facility in Engaru Town, Hokkaido, which has strong ties to the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. An event space is also included, ensuring a space that can accommodate various workshops and events. [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] We received a request to incorporate Fujitsu's new work style reform concept, "Work Life Shift," which focuses on the well-being of each individual and aims for autonomous work. [Solution] We proposed a cheerleading-led flexibility exercise class using the event space, providing an opportunity to improve employee well-being during lunchtime. [Customer Feedback] We were able to effectively convey the philosophy of the corporate sports room through the spatial design. It also serves as an effective communication platform and has been very well received. <Our Project Members> [Sales & Project Management] Yuya Ono [Planning, design, layout] Kei Tamura, Akane Yamaguchi, Junichi Ito [Signage & Graphic concept design] Akane Yamaguchi, Junichi Ito [Production & construction] Toshiaki Hatada

This project involved the renovation of the commercial area of the Matsushita IMP Building, an office building located in Osaka Business Park. Since a previously planned train station still remains underground, concept design motif was chosen with the hope that the building would become a hub where people gather, just as it was originally intended. Throughout the building, the circular columns extending across multiple floors feature a powerful mortar-like finish and metal framing, creating a base for a colonnaded space reminiscent of a train station. In the western atrium, this framing forms a continuous arch shape, like the arcade of a train station, creating a sense of unity with the existing curved ceiling. Within this, the black/gold/verdigris colors, stone walls, and plum blossom shapes of the adjacent Osaka Castle were incorporated into the FF&E (front and rear window) and structural elements, creating an affinity with the memories this land has inherited for 400 years. Furthermore, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, as many companies have developed environments that allow employees to work outside the office, the project explored how a commercial office building can adapt to new work styles by creating workspaces in the common areas of the commercial space. Throughout the commercial area, we have placed furniture that can accommodate a wide range of needs, from meetings to individual work. Each piece of furniture incorporates various features, such as sofas with L-shaped expandable tabletops, high-back chairs that restrict the view to enhance concentration, and counter chairs with coat hangers. We have also considered comfort by placing plants like partitions, making it a space that can be used primarily as a workspace on weekdays and as a resting place for tourists on weekends. We aimed to create an open workspace where a diverse range of people can gather, including office workers in the IMP Building, people working in Osaka Business Park, and even visitors, fostering new ways of working and new forms of communication.

This project involves renovating an old farmhouse in the Kodohi district of Izu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, into a rental accommodation facility. This district was once a quiet area where a local magistrate resided, and the plan is to provide a stay that incorporates the surrounding environment, allowing guests to experience a slower pace of life that transcends time. The main house will be equipped with a kitchen and will offer services such as dinner by a visiting chef and alcohol service from a mobile bar. For interiors, local materials will be used, such as earthen walls made from local soil and a dining table made from locally sourced cherry wood, attempting to create a space using local materials, just as in the Edo period. [Social Issues/Client Issues/Requests] In order to make the most of the old farmhouse as a rental facility, the client requested an attractive spatial concept design that takes into account the characteristics of the site. [Solutions] While utilizing the charm of the existing building, the design incorporates a spatial configuration that maximizes the surrounding views and finishes that utilize local soil and other materials. <Our Project Members> [Sales & Project Management] Shinya Hiratsuka, Nobuyuki Yagi [Overall Supervision] Norio Koito [Planning] Saki Ninomiya [design, layout] Hirofumi Inoue ~Related Links~ [Press Releases] ・ NOMURA Co.,Ltd.

Located near Shijo Omiya in Kyoto, this project renovated an entire alley lined with townhouses built over 110 years ago into an inn. Passing through the reception building, you will find 23 guest rooms, a warehouse, and a restaurant building lined up along the stone-paved alley, creating a gorgeous view reminiscent of the entertainment district of the Edo period. There are five types of guest rooms, all themed on the natural beauty of Kyoto, allowing you to experience the charm of the region in both tangible and intangible culture. The restaurant building in the center of the alley houses a Japanese beef restaurant, making it a unique space that promotes Japanese culture, including food, to the world. The site is approximately 1,400 m2 and includes 26 wooden buildings, making this the largest renovation project in Kyoto's history, attracting attention from Kyoto City.

This project involved the revitalization of a samurai residence, over 140 years old, located in the castle town of Obi Castle in Nichinan City, Miyazaki Prefecture, into a tourist hub and hot spring inn. Each of the five guest rooms is concept design with a theme reflecting the local area, incorporating the town's color "purple," "cedar" which supports the industry, "tea trees" which are used in hedges as part of the local culture, "bitter orange" which is the city's citrus fruit, and "moss," which is important to the town's landscape. This project utilized subsidies from the "Shopping Street Revitalization and Tourism Consumption Creation Project," and our company participated extensively in the project, from hardware to software, including creating cards and maps to encourage exploration of the area in collaboration with local shops, developing cooking experiences, and installing lanterns as streetlights starting from the inn. The inn has been successfully revitalized and is poised to become a central element in future town development.

This is the Panasonic booth at IFA 2022, the world's largest consumer electronics show, which was held in Berlin for the first time in three years due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. When considering displays concept design in the post-COVID era, we embodied the changes in lifestyle and values caused by the pandemic, as well as Panasonic's major policy, GREEN IMPACT, in the spatial concept design. We concept design the space mainly using light and fabric, while minimizing waste as much as possible in the design and construction. As a result, we achieved a carbon footprint that was 70% lower than in 2019, and the significant reduction in CO2 emissions from materials such as wood and steel, as well as logistics, is something we believe will make a significant impact on the future of events and displays in a post-COVID society. [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] The request was to embody Panasonic's new slogan, GREEN IMPACT. [Solution] By rethinking the nature of spatial concept design and exploring displays for the future that are not extravagant, we created a booth that links with Panasonic's new slogan. <Our Project Members> [Sales & Project Management] Nomura Medias: Makihide Ono [Planning & Basic Concept] Keita Kobayashi [design, layout] Daisuke Nishida, Akane Arimoto, Noriaki Terunuma [Production & construction] Nomura Medias: Yoichi Miura

"THE BASE SPORTS BIKE & COMMUNITY" is a project to create a new concept shop specializing in road bikes for cyclists, in response to the increased demand for bicycles during the COVID-19 pandemic and the growing interest in road bikes due to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The exterior "cycling road" extends into the store, allowing customers to enter while still on their bicycles. In the center of the store, there is an artificial turf rest area and experience space where customers wearing clipless shoes can relax comfortably and enjoy events such as test rides, maintenance, and purchasing their favorite accessories to upgrade their bikes, fostering communication among customers through their shared hobby of cycling. The fixtures have pallet bases, allowing for flexible layouts, and the louvers surrounding the sales floor walls have the function of displays bicycles face out. concept design of the new store proposes a space where people can stop along a cycling road in their lives to rest or perform maintenance. <Our Project Members> [design, layout] no.10: Keita Aono, Yu Yoshie [Sales & Project Management] Rikiya Takasugi [building execution] Nanako Yamagishi

This project involved the rebuilding of Kyushu Mitsubishi Motors Sales Co., Ltd.'s showroom and office. The building is an eight-story steel-frame structure, and our company was responsible for interiors design and construction of the café/restaurant on the first floor and the showroom on the second floor. As a new landmark in Yakuin, Fukuoka City, we aimed to create a space that connects with people and the city (region) based on the concept of a "sash" or "belt." The café/restaurant was concept design as an inviting, open space, integrated with the showroom as a communication space. Large digital signage, a turntable symbolically displays automobiles, and a luminous ceiling were also incorporated, incorporating elements to naturally pique the interest of café patrons in cars. The second-floor showroom incorporates an organic design with many curved surfaces symbolizing the "sash," and the ceiling features a concept design pattern that is a stylized version of Mitsubishi's three-diamond logo. Furthermore, the showroom is based on Mitsubishi's brand colors of black, white, and gray, resulting in a simple yet dignified showroom that is distinctly "Mitsubishi Motors." In addition, the space was designed to further update the functionality of the traditional showroom space by including a kids' corner where children can play and have fun when visiting with their families, a corner to promote V2H technology, and a dedicated corner for important business negotiations. construction: PS Mitsubishi/Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Transportation Construction Engineering Joint Venture [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] In addition to existing customers, the customer requested a space that would attract a wide range of new customer segments that had not been fully reached before, such as young families and young people who are not particularly interested in cars. [Solution] The cafe restaurant on the first floor facing the main street was designed with openable sash windows to create a borderless space between the terrace seating and the interior, allowing for the display of signage videos and various events on the street, aiming to create a space that can attract a diverse range of customers. The symbolic spiral staircase and atrium leading to the second-floor showroom, along with the unified use of materials, seamlessly integrate the two floors, naturally guiding customers using the cafe restaurant into the showroom. There, they can experience Mitsubishi Motors' V2H technology and the latest advancements, creating an iconic environment where people can feel the potential of automobiles to bring sustainable prosperity and happiness. A kids' corner is placed in the center of the showroom, allowing staff to keep an eye on their children while conducting business, demonstrating a customer-centric approach to planning. Furthermore, consideration for reducing environmental impact has been given to incorporating V2H linked to solar power generation on the building's rooftop, as well as motion sensors and an automatic dimming system for lighting control. <Our Project Members> [Sales/Project Management] Naoki Goto [concept design] Kazuyoshi Takao, Riho Sawada [Production/ construction] Keiji Nakano

"Nagasaki Kaido Kamome Market" is a new bridge built by the West Kyushu Shinkansen Kamome, just as the Nagasaki Kaido once served as a bridge to transmit the culture and technology of Nagasaki to the rest of Japan. From "Nagasaki Kaido Kamome Market," the market transmits the charm of Nagasaki to the entire country. The facility development concept is "Nagasaki First." It aims to transmit "Nagasaki's unique character," "connect Nagasaki with other prefectures and the world," "create energy for Nagasaki," and "become a place you naturally want to visit every day." [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] As the newly reborn land gateway to Nagasaki, there was a request to create a space where new exchanges could be born and a lively atmosphere could flourish. [Solution] concept design concept is "Nagasaki, a city of rich waterside culture and history," aiming to express the port that connects to the world. In the facade concept design, blue and white wave-shaped tiles are used to represent the waterside of Nagasaki Port and the light sparkling on the waves. In the interior concept design, we aimed to embody the city of Nagasaki by creating a highly circulating space. The configuration of a large outer perimeter circulation route and smaller paths leading inward allows visitors to encounter numerous shops that condense the essence of Nagasaki, resulting in a space that is "somewhat nostalgic" yet "new," harmonizing the city and its people. [Customer Feedback] Due to budget constraints, there were some aspects of the proposed concept design that we were unable to adopt. However, thanks to the flexible proposals and adoption of alternatives, we feel that we were able to realize an attractive space within our budget. <Our Project Members> [Sales/Project Management] Tadahiko Koga [design, layout] Hiroaki Koshizen, Yoshitaka Hirayama, Hideaki Hata, Mizuki Yamana

This is a value-enhancing renovation project for an office building located in a corner of Kanda Ogawacho, approximately 20 years old. The main areas of renovation are part of the exterior facade and building signage, the first-floor entrance, and the common areas on the standard floors (4th floor). The overall concept design concept is "Timeless & Biophilic concept design *". By making good use of the existing granite space, the amount of waste disposal due to demolition was minimized, and concept design was made cost-effective while being mindful of sustainability by fusing old and good materials with new materials. *Biophilic concept design: Design and methods that allow people in a space to feel a connection with nature. [Social Issues/Client Issues/Requests] As the building was over 20 years old, the outdated concept design of the entrance and other areas, as well as the decline in competitiveness within the area, were concerns for the future. In addition, since the building's entrance does not face the main street, the main traffic flow had a somewhat alley-like impression, and there was room for improvement in terms of the building's visibility. Based on these challenges, this project required improving the competitiveness and visibility of the property through renovations to the entrance, facade, and some standard floors. [Solution] To soften the previously dark, back-alley feel of the facade, dynamic wood-grain louvers and indirect lighting were newly installed to create a brighter building face. Inside the entrance, two different textures, glass and natural wood, were used to refresh the old-fashioned feel and aim to improve the morale of the people working there. Sanitary equipment such as toilets and kitchenettes on the office floors were also renovated to meet new standards such as antibacterial properties. Through these comprehensive renovations, the aim is to make the entire building a safe and comfortable place for the people who work there. [Customer Feedback] We are grateful to all the sales, designers, and construction staff at NOMURA Co.,Ltd. for working together as a team on this project, which has now been successfully completed. We appreciate the meticulous support at each phase. We feel that the renovated facade and entrance are functioning perfectly as the new face of the building. <Our Project Members> [Development] Takuya Kitai [Sales & Project Management] Masahiro Harada, Kayu Tatsumi [Research] Wataru Takada [design, layout] Hiroyuki Nii, Sayaka Miyane, Hitoshi Igarashi [Production & construction] Mai Sakai, Tomokuni Hasegawa, Fumiya Sasaki

In real estate consultations, the most important thing is to understand and envision the future that the client envisions. Meeting rooms play a crucial role in this, and recognizing that they occupy most of the store's floor space, we considered how each room could be incorporated as a concept design element. By transforming each room into a cube shape and scattering them around, and by adding elements that allow glimpses of the interior, we created an efficient space that maintains a sense of privacy while easing the tension of visitors.
