The Hiwasa Sea Turtle Museum Caretta is a rare sea turtle museum located on Ohama Beach in Tokushima Prefecture, and is beloved as the oldest loggerhead turtle conservation site in the region. At the same time, it also serves as a base facility for the local Minami Town's plan to increase the return rate of sea turtles. This renovation has created a place where people can learn about the coexistence of humans and nature through sea turtles and nurture the next generation of leaders by providing a comfortable space for visitors and making it easy for sea turtles to live in from the perspective of animal welfare.

We planned the Mie Prefecture booth to be exhibited within the Kansai Pavilion at the 2025 Japan International Exposition (Osaka-Kansai Expo). The Mie Prefecture booth is themed "The Origin of the Japanese Spirit" and is designed as a space where visitors can experience the charm of "Beautiful Mie," including its rich nature, history, diverse culture, and food. It is an interactive booth that will allow visitors to experience Mie with all five senses through unique displays and content that can only be found at the Expo.

The project is scheduled to be completed in March 2025 after approximately five years of full-scale renovation work. It will include new stands (viewing facilities for a wide range of customers, including the general public and guests), entrance gates, the first double-sided paddock screen at a Japanese racecourse, and a grass plaza, and will open as a facility that allows many people, including local residents and horse racing novices, to experience the feeling of being an "open racecourse."

Opened in July 2025 in Kakegawa City, Shizuoka Prefecture, the new indoor playground "mirocco" aims to be a place where children can not only enjoy playing to their heart's content, but also enjoy it with their families and local people. This facility has renovated the pool and hot bath facilities that were located in the indoor facility "Tamarina" in the 22nd Century Hills Park in Mansui, Kakegawa City, and have been renovated into an all-weather playground. While making use of our know-how in regional revitalization and facility business, we were in charge of everything from concept formulation to design, construction of interiors, playground equipment, and decoration, and operation. In addition, as a voluntary business of the DBO* business, we have made private investment to improve the attractiveness of the facility by adding playground equipment, artificial furniture, fixtures, signs, graphics, etc. About Facility Concept/Space concept design The facility concept is "Let's create every day." 365 (3 = Mi / 6 = Ro / 5 = Ko) The naming was decided by voting for "mirocco" with the meaning that it will be a facility where everyone can gather. The four main areas are "Guruguru no Yama" where you can play with playground equipment, "Waku Waku Base" where you can play quietly, "Hitoyasumi Lounge" where adults can relax, and "Hi Hi Hara" where babies can play safely. In addition to these areas, Tamarina will open a new store in Shizuoka Prefecture, "This Is Cafe", offering menus that are easy to use for customers of all ages. In addition, the interior of the facility, such as the interiors, playground equipment, and benches, uses local resources, and uses environmentally friendly materials in various places, such as benches using prefectural logged wood, workshop spaces that use scraps and waste materials as work materials, and plastering walls using "soil" from the Kakegawa River. *DBO: Abbreviation for Design Build Operate (design, construction, and operation), one of the business methods when developing public facilities. The public entrusts the design, construction, and operation of facilities to private operators.

This is an office renovation project for Star Micronics, Head Office headquartered in Shizuoka City, whose purpose is to "contribute to the sustainable development of society as a 'great small and medium-sized enterprise' that challenges the world." The seven-story Head Office was initially operated in 2018 with open offices on the first to sixth floors and a prestigious, confidential executive floor on the seventh floor. Six years later, in 2024, in order to accommodate the increase in the number of employees and changes in work styles, it was decided to operate the seventh floor as office space as well. Based on the request, we collaborated with Kiuchi Construction, which is also Star Micronics' prosperity partner, to propose, design, and construction, and it reopened in February 2025. The plan, which places a 40-seat quiet work area on the east side, an active area for lively discussions on the west side, private executive offices on the south side, and an executive meeting room (normally an office area) on the north side, with a light court in the center of the floor, provides a sense of openness while ensuring an appropriate distance between different areas.

AINEC has relocated Head Office to Frontier Meieki, an environmentally conscious and advanced office building located in Meieki, Nakamura-ku, Nagoya. The concept is "Hope of Light," reflecting the new beginning and hopeful future that the company will experience in a space where its symbolic color, "AINEC Blue," and light intertwine. The office space features an advanced design that fuses environmental considerations with concept design, and uses "light," "blue," and "environmentally friendly materials" as concept design elements to create a place that embodies the company's purpose and vision. Under the direction of Taki Tanaka, CEO of IZA, who is in charge of AINEC's branding, a symbolic "light" art installation was created in the reception area in collaboration with Takahiro Matsuo, CEO of LUCENT Inc (artwork), and Setsuya Kurotaki, CEO of NOiR inc (sound concept design). Furthermore, the gentle AINEC Blue envelops the entire office, fostering a sense of unity and connection among all those who gather here. In addition, for the raised access floor, the existing subfloor was cleaned and reused, reducing the environmental impact by eliminating the need for finishing materials. For the wall materials, cement tiles made from recycled waste such as coal ash from thermal power plants and used coffee grounds were used. Our company was in charge of the design and construction.

The Malaysian Pavilion, exhibited at the 2025 Japan International Exposition (Osaka-Kansai Expo), was themed "INTERWOVEN - Weaving a Harmonious Future," and was a space that comprehensively expressed the tradition, diversity, and progressive spirit inherent in Malaysia, a multi-ethnic nation. At the center of the pavilion was the symbolic "Tree of Harmony," standing approximately 10 meters tall. Its leaves were hand-woven by artisans from all over Malaysia using sustainable natural materials, and its trunk was composed of an organic structure made of fast-growing bamboo woven in a spiral. This sculptural language was also extended to displays floor, lighting, and graphics, symbolizing a network that connects the entire pavilion as if weaving together. As a pavilion where diversity intersects to weave one grand story, it became a place that embodied hope for a harmonious future.

This is the first store for Henri Charpentier's new brand, financier specialty store "BEAN to FINANCIER." The concept of "baked color" is expressed throughout the store by using tiles with uneven baking marks. In addition, details that mimic the gold bars of Paris' financial district, the origin of financiers, are scattered throughout the store. The store symbolically shows the story of how the products go from the kitchen, wrapped in a gradation of baked colors, to being lined up in front of customers, allowing them to experience the brand with all five senses.
