I was in charge of the planning, design, and construction of the first experiential showroom "I Gallery Naha" in the Okinawa area, which will be opened by Osaka-based house manufacturer and Ai Corporation. This showroom is an experience base that aims to convey in an easy-to-understand manner through actual displays, material experience, VR, etc., which are optimized in Okinawa's unique natural environment. Ai Corporation positions its expansion into Okinawa as "not just a base development, but an initiative to cultivate brand value together with the local people while blending with Okinawan culture and lifestyle," and has put forward an attitude of valuing activities rooted in the community and trying to realize the creation of a house that is close to Okinawa's life and culture. In order to embody this philosophy in the space, we have built a space production that emphasizes the visualization of displays information and comfort under the theme of "learning from Okinawan life and creating experiential value together with Okinawans".

"AI-STUDIO-YOKOHAMA," newly established in Yokohama Minato Mirai, is the core base for the East Japan area of AI Construction, a house builder based in Osaka with a nationwide presence. Taking advantage of its excellent transportation accessibility and the characteristics of the new neighborhood, it was planned as a showroom that showcases the company's appeal and spatial design capabilities. The entire facility serves as an information hub where visitors can experience the brand's value, and "hints for building a house" are scattered throughout, providing an experience that allows visitors to enjoy the home-building process in a positive way.

At the Japan Mobility Show 2025, where visitors could experience Nissan Motor's "present" and "future" as they pioneer the era of electrification, the new Elgrand made its world premiere at the company's booth. The new model presents the evolved "joy of driving" through advanced technologies, including the third-generation e-POWER, and Nissan's vision of "premium touring mobility" as a new value proposition. Two new two-tone body colors have been adopted: "FUJI DAWN," which expresses the natural beauty of a fleeting moment at dawn over Mount Fuji, and "Shigoku," inspired by a color that has symbolized nobility and high status in Japan since ancient times. The lighting used to represent the passage of time from dawn to daytime and evening, symbolizing these colors, dramatically enhances the presence and worldview of the Elgrand. Furthermore, the booth features a minimalist, monochrome design based on white, expressing a pop-up book-like world where cars and cityscapes emerge from the pages of a blank book. In addition, it showcases models that embody Nissan's electrification and diverse lifestyle proposals, including the new Leaf with significantly extended driving range on a single charge, the new Roox which displays the value of kei cars, the Ariya with enhanced sophistication and advanced features, and the X-Trail with a stronger outdoor orientation. Moreover, the booth's configuration conveys a passion for driving and a commitment to challenge through the Fairlady Z, Skyline, Formula E car, and flagship SUV Patrol (Middle Eastern model). Our company handled the design, signage, production, and construction.

NANKAI reconstructed the common meeting room area of Parks Tower, an office building adjacent to Namba Parks in Osaka, as the "PARKS PATIO" lounge for employees. The space is designed as a "special backyard for workers" in response to the lush greenery of Parks Garden, the symbol of Namba Parks. As a place that workers use on a daily basis, we have created an environment that accommodates not only meetings and work, but also various ways of spending time, such as taking a break or changing one's mind. Through a worker-participatory production process, artwork using plants in the garden, and sound effects that incorporate the environmental sounds of the rail line, we aim to enhance the overall value of the office building and the worker experience, while incorporating a space for physical and mental conditioning within the convenience of the city. We were in charge of planning design, layout and production construction.

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 renovation of the common areas of the office spaces in the Shinagawa Grand Central Tower, located at the Konan Exit of Shinagawa Station in Tokyo. Our company was responsible for everything from the design to construction of interiors and signage, and we have been progressively renovating a total of 18 floors since 2019. The objective of this project was to enhance the value of the building by refreshing the common areas of the office spaces and thereby attract tenants. To achieve this, we incorporated materials that combine hardness and softness in a balanced way, and set concept design concept as a "semi-private space that connects private life and work." The richly textured interiors finishes have created an office environment that is comfortable for tenants and attractive to companies, contributing to the enhancement of the building's value.

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.

The Sumitomo Pavilion at the 2025 Japan International Exposition (Osaka-Kansai Expo) is a pavilion where visitors can experience a grand "story of life" set in the "UNKNOWN FOREST." With lanterns in hand, children and adults alike can freely wander through the forest and experience the interconnectedness of life that is usually unseen. In response to the movements of visitors, light and mist change, and the "story of life" in nature emerges in the forest, depicting trees conversing in the soil, the life cycle of trees spanning hundreds of years, and the animals and fungi lurking in the forest. In a theater deep within the forest, the trajectory and fragments of memories of the Mother Tree, which has watched over this forest, from its birth to its end, are depicted. The wind and mist that drift through the space stir the senses of visitors, and the climax is reached with a powerful performance in which layered images, music, and people merge. After the forest experience, visitors will explore the "Seeds of the Future" area, where over 700 cutting-edge technologies and initiatives from the Sumitomo Group are displays, leading to a platform utilizing generative AI where anyone can create and share ideas for the future. The Sumitomo Pavilion itself was constructed using approximately 1,000 cedar and cypress trees planted in 1970, the year of the Osaka World Expo. In addition to their experience at "UNKNOWN FOREST," visitors can participate in a "tree-planting experience" where they can touch seedlings and soil, and the newly grown seedlings will be returned to the original forest. This "story of life" will continue even after the Expo, and will be passed on to future generations.
