WEAZER, developed by ARTH Co., Ltd., is an off-grid residential module that generates electricity using solar power and produces water by filtering and sterilizing rainwater, making it installable even in locations without electricity, gas, or water infrastructure. In addition, it is characterized by its ability to be installed in a short construction period of just a few days, as it is manufactured in a factory and transported. By incorporating this latest technology, it realizes a world where people can stay anywhere in the world without harming nature, simply by "placing" it, and the first model has now opened in West Izu as a single-unit rental accommodation. Our company was in charge of design supervision and FF&E design and production for this facility.

As the main platform for the "RED°" brand, Japan's largest esports park has been created inside Tokyo Tower, an icon of Tokyo/Japan. This entertainment facility aims to be the forefront stage for the evolution of esports into a national culture, offering an "otherworldly entertainment experience" packed with fun in every aspect, from playing the latest game titles to enjoying tournaments and events in a stadium equipped with the world's most advanced XR technology. While making the most of the building's age, the design avoids making the overall space too polished, preserving the character and texture of the materials that come with age, and creating concept design that makes you aware that it is an interior space of Tokyo Tower. The strength created by showcasing the texture of metal and mortar and the structure itself makes the space seem as if it is encroaching on Tokyo Tower. Anticipating collaborations with companies and manufacturers, a versatile yet edgy neutral color is used as the base, and the brand color "TOKYO RED," which is also the name of the facility, is effectively incorporated into the space, making a strong impression of the RED° brand. By combining it with video effects, we have created a new, futuristic space.

This project involved the design, construction operation of the Sega booth at Tokyo Game Show 2022. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, this marked the first in-person event in three years since 2019.

Upon entering the hotel, guests are greeted by a calm, plaster-like lobby that displays original art pieces that can only be seen at this hotel, allowing them to experience culture through works unique to the hotel and heightening their anticipation for the stay to come. The original program "Kyoto Iroha," which enhances the appeal of your stay by touching the unique aesthetic sense of Kyoto, approaches the culture that has long thrived in Kyoto and Japan from five different perspectives, tailored to the five senses, allowing you to enjoy and feel it. You can actually see, smell, taste, touch, hear, and use your hands, and learn and enjoy Kyoto's culture from the "Iroha" through menus that can only be experienced here. In Higashiyama, where you can enjoy a refined sensibility, this hotel is the gateway to a journey to the pinnacle of Kyoto, offering a "deepening" journey.

Okayama Castle is one of Japan's 100 Famous Castles and was built by Ukita Hideie, a relative of Toyotomi Hideyoshi who served as one of the Five Great Elders at a young age. Its three-story, six-tiered keep, with its unusual irregular pentagonal shape, is also affectionately known as "Crow Castle" due to its black clapboard exterior. Following the large-scale renovation in 1996 (400th anniversary of the castle's construction), our company was again awarded the contract for the renovation of the keep's displays as part of the "Reiwa Era Grand Renovation." This renovation was based on the concept of "an easy-to-understand gateway to Okayama's history, even for beginners," and was developed to serve as a base for general tourists to explore the history of Okayama City. displays were supervised by historian Michifumi Isoda, a native of Okayama City. Incorporating new insights, the exhibits clearly introduce the charm and characteristics of Okayama Castle, the achievements of its successive lords, and the origins of the city of Okayama.

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
