2025年日本国際博覧会（大阪・関西万博）住友館は、「UNKNOWN FOREST」を舞台とした壮大な“いのちの物語”を体験するパビリオンです。ランタンを手に、森の中を自由に巡りながら、子どもから大人までが日常では見えなかった生命のつながりを体感します。来場者の動きに呼応して光や霧が変化し、土の中で対話する木々や、数百年におよぶ木の一生、森に潜む動物や菌類など自然の中の“いのちの物語”が森の中に浮かび上がります。森の奥にあるシアターでは、この森を見守り続けたマザーツリーの誕生から最期までの軌跡や記憶の断片が描かれます。空間に漂う⾵や霧が来場者の感覚を揺さぶり、複層する映像と⾳楽・⼈が融合する⼤迫⼒の演出でクライマックスを迎えます。森での体験後に巡る「ミライのタネ」エリアでは、住友グループ様の700件を超える最先端技術や取り組みが展示され、誰もが未来のアイデアを創出・共有できる生成AIを活用したプラットフォームへとつながります。なお、住友館の建築は1970年大阪万博の年に植林されたスギやヒノキを約千本活用して建設されています。来場者は「UNKNOWN FOREST」での体験と合わせて、苗木や土に触れる「植林体験」に参加することができ、新たに育てられた苗木は元の森へと還されます。“いのちの物語”は万博の後も続き、次世代へと受け継がれていきます。

Based on the concept of a museum where visitors can see, touch, and play with the ships that support our lives, the museum aims to provide a place where people of all ages can enjoy learning about how shipping supports people's daily lives and how ships are constantly evolving. The museum's space and experiences are designed to be child-friendly and exciting, with a large panoramic theater that allows visitors to experience the scale of ships and the ocean, and interactive displays that allow visitors to learn about jobs related to ships and shipping. Inspired by the image of a port where food transported across the sea is gathered, the museum also features a cafe serving original curry and a shop selling original goods unique to a museum dedicated to ships and shipping.

This was an office renovation project for Star Micronics, Head Office headquartered in Shizuoka City whose mission is to contribute to the sustainable development of society as a "great small and medium-sized enterprise" that takes on the world. The seven-story Head Office, which opened in 2018, featured open offices on floors 1 through 6, with the seventh floor designated as a prestigious, secret executive floor. Six years later, in 2024, the decision was made to extend the seventh floor to office space in response to an increase in the number of employees and changing work styles. Based on the request, Star Micronics' Prosperity Partner, Kiuchi Construction, proposed, designed, and construction the seventh floor, which reopened in February 2025. The plan, which juxtaposes a central light courtyard across the floor, features a quiet work area with 40 seats on the east side, an active area for lively discussions on the west side, private executive offices on the south side, and an executive conference room (usually used as a work area) on the north side, maintaining an open atmosphere while maintaining a comfortable sense of distance.
