The BANDAI HOBBY CENTER PLAMO DESIGN INDUSTRIAL INSTITUTE MUSEUM (BHC PDII MUSEUM), located within the new factory of BANDAI SPIRITS' plastic model production facility, "BANDAI Hobby Center" in Shizuoka City, is based on the theme of "A base for promoting the appeal of manufacturing." Visitors can tour the new factory and experience their own "Plastic Model Designer Experience." The museum also displays the know-how and commitment cultivated over more than 50 years of plastic model manufacturing, as well as the latest technologies that support product quality. It's a fun place for children and adults to learn about manufacturing. In this project, we worked closely with BANDAI SPIRITS to plan, design, and construction the facility's displays and content, as well as its operational planning. We utilized our spatial implementation capabilities and displays concept design expertise to realize the museum concept and ideas of BANDAI SPIRITS, which is filled with "Plastic Model Love," and to convey the hidden dedication of factory workers to manufacturing. To realize BANDAI SPIRITS' facility concept of "changing the way plastic models are viewed," displays feature real molding machines and molds used in factories that are not normally visible, allowing visitors to experience the manufacturing process, and through friendly graphics and displays, visitors can learn about BANDAI SPIRITS' commitment to manufacturing, which is the essence of plastic models, as well as the evolution and challenges of that technology.By providing visitors with the experience of actually being a plastic model designer, the exhibit aims to be a place that gives them the opportunity to enjoy plastic models from a new perspective, by providing them with an awareness of a new side to plastic models.

This project involved the renewal of the common office spaces of Shinagawa Grand Central Tower, located at the Konan exit of Shinagawa Station in Tokyo. Our company was responsible for everything from interiors and sign design to construction, and has been steadily promoting the renewal of a total of 18 floors since 2019. The objective of this project was to increase the value of the building by revamping the common office spaces, leading to the attraction of tenants. To achieve this, we incorporated a good balance of materials that combine hardness and softness, and established concept design concept of a "semi-private space that connects private and work spaces." The richly textured interiors finishes created an office environment that was comfortable for tenants and attractive to companies, contributing to the enhancement of the building's value.

Le Cafe Benoît Niant, which opened at Seibu Ikebukuro Main Store, is the first cafe-style store in Japan. Benoît Niant is a chocolate brand created by Benoît Niant, a leading Belgian chocolatier. While working as an engineer for a steel manufacturer, Benoît Niant was captivated by the profound appeal of chocolate, and after extensive research on his own, began his journey as a chocolatier.

This project was a renewal of the food and beverage zone (basement 1 and 2 floors) of the Meiji Yasuda Life Building in Tokyo, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary since its completion. On the 2nd basement floor, the newly opened "Marunouchi Food Hall" is made up of six stores offering a wide variety of food and drinks. In addition to breakfast, lunch, and dinner, the hall also offers cafe and takeout options to suit the needs of each visitor. Our company was responsible for research, merchandising planning, leasing, furniture and fixture manufacturing, environmental design and construction, and operational planning.

This is a renovation project for the 24th floor of Okamura's head-washed office "We Labo", which handles office furniture and store fixtures. For the complete renovation of the first floor, under the design of Okamura's creative team, we were in charge of the construction of the interiors construction work.

For the "Wakayama Zone" of the Kansai Pavilion at the 2025 World Exposition in Japan (Osaka-Kansai Expo), we collaborated with Hideki Yoshimoto, the general director of the Wakayama Zone, to express "high-quality Wakayama." The video device "Totem," reminiscent of the giant trees of the Kii Mountains, is finished with Kishu lacquer, and the counter tables and chairs that provide dining experiences are also made of Kishu wood. Wakayama's traditional crafts and materials are utilized in the various elements that make up the space, condensing the charm of Wakayama, which is a source of pride for the world, into the space.

OMO5 Yokohama Bashamichi by Hoshino Resorts, a hotel set to serve as a celestial hub, inheriting the history of Yokohama's Bashamichi district (opening January 15, 2026). From planning to completion, Hoshino Resorts handled the entire project, from planning to concept design, engineering, and construction, in just under a year. Based on the concept of a "CRUISE SHIP," the entire space is imbued with the romance and playfulness of nautical life. The public space on the 46th floor takes advantage of the mixed use of existing tenants and the limitations of public open space to create a circulation flow that evokes the "interior of a ship." By exploring the lounge reminiscent of the bow of a ship, the mirror deck that amplifies the night view, the gallery, and the theater, we have created an "interior ship experience" that heightens the sense of exhilaration. The guest rooms, taking full advantage of the existing kitchen, were designed to resemble "ship's cabins," allowing for intimate moments with friends. We valued the density that can only be achieved with limited space, creating a functional and intimate space. The design, which reflects the colors and fonts associated with the Hikawa Maru, Yokohama's most iconic ship, acts as a switch that shifts your perspective from a voyage above the clouds to a deep stroll through the city.

At Inter BEE 2025, a professional exhibition for sound, video and communications held at Makuhari Messe, we were in charge of the spatial concept design for displays booth of Sigma, a global optical equipment manufacturer that promotes "MADE IN AIZU, JAPAN," under the creative direction of Ichiro Iwasaki of IWASAKI DESIGN STUDIO. In order to maximize the appeal of the SIGMA brand's worldview even within the limited space, we eliminated unnecessary information and concept design fixtures and lighting plans that would highlight the products themselves. We were able to achieve a sophisticated spatial concept design that stands out even in displays hall packed with a variety of booths. *Dates: November 19th - 21st, 2025

At Japan Home Show & Building Show 2025, one of Japan's largest architectural displays, we created displays booth to promote the new product "PANECO®," an environmentally friendly material made from upcycled discarded clothing. We were responsible for the entire booth, from concept concept design to construction. Based on PANECO® and lightweight steel (LGS), we concept design a large, approximately 4-meter-tall structure with floors, walls, and ceilings entirely made of PANECO®. The full-scale walls intuitively convey the scale of PANECO®'s use as an interiors building material, while the interior proposes lifestyle scenes that utilize PANECO®. By creating different surfaces on the exterior and interior of displays booth, we were able to directly and impressively convey its use as both a base material and a finishing material, as well as the relationships between construction materials, its workability, and the unique texture and appearance of the material itself.

The "Future City" Pavilion at the 2025 World Exposition, Japan (Osaka-Kansai Expo) is a joint exhibit project by the Expo Association and 12 supporting organizations. The Kubota Germination Lab is a research institute that addresses people's aspirations and global issues, and considers future food and agriculture that is friendly to both people and the earth. Life, food, and agriculture are connected from the past to the present and into the future, and we believe that we too play a role in these connections. This was a forum for participants to realize and consider the importance of each individual considering the entire food system, from production to consumption, and the importance of communicating the technology that supports the food system.

GORA KADAN Fuji, which faces the peak of Mount Fuji directly west and offers panoramic views from all 42 guest rooms and public areas, is the first accommodation facility to be opened by the venerable Hakone inn "GORA KADAN." We were responsible for design, layout of the common areas, such as the lobby lounge in the reception building, dining, bar, spa, and shop, as well as the FFE (furniture, fixtures, and equipment) concept design for all areas, including the guest rooms.

The renovation of the first and second floors of Barneys New York's Ginza flagship store was based on the concepts of "memory" and "creation." The goal was to create a space that respects the brand's long-standing traditions (memory) while generating new value (creation). While utilizing existing fixtures such as muted wood-grain walls and niches, the design combines sustainable materials, materials that blend naturally into existing finishes, and unique, symbolic fixtures to create a fusion of timeless sophistication and provocative humor. The watch workshop at the back of the first floor was designed as a "visible customer service" space, and a semi-private meeting space with a private feel enhances the experience during the visit. Furthermore, the newly installed cafe counter was designed to be visible from the outside, aiming to attract new customers. Proceeding to the second floor, connected via the central staircase, mirrored walls at different angles are installed to bring the entire floor into view, creating a symbolic look. Furthermore, a display was placed in front of the vintage area at the back to enhance attraction and traffic flow. Within a short construction period and limited budget, we proactively repurposed existing fixtures and quickly verified them using point cloud data, resulting in a solid concept design proposal. The project created an iconic, luxurious space that is uniquely Barneys, preserving tradition while pioneering the future.

On Sunday, July 13, 2025, the IG Arena held its grand opening in Meijo Park, overlooking Nagoya Castle in Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture. Boasting a capacity of 17,000 people and a 30-meter ceiling, making it one of the largest arenas in Japan, the arena employs a hybrid oval surface that combines an oval shape suitable for watching sports with a horseshoe shape suitable for concerts, improving both visibility and acoustics. We were responsible for the planning, design, and construction of the d CARD LOUNGE (premium lounge), which provides a premium viewing experience at the IG Arena, helping to provide a hospitality space in both its physical and intangible aspects that makes you forget you're in an arena. We have also signed an official supplier contract for the IG Arena.

An old folk house in Tomonoura, Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture, has been renovated into the auberge "RiSA DINING & STAY" of the "Shiomachi Hotel." The first floor houses a restaurant for guests, and the second floor houses two guest rooms. The complex building is made up of several connected old folk houses, and we worked with local collaborators to resolve various issues before completing the project. While respecting the client's desire to cherish the historic Tomonoura area, which has flourished as a port town since the time of the Manyoshu, we aimed to create a comfortable space where the past and present blend together by incorporating modern concept design into the old building.
