Project Description] This project is a first floor corporate PR and awareness facility for Yamaha Head Office 's new Building No. 21. The goal was to create a "place" where visitors could gain new insights and discoveries no matter when or how many times they visited, by appealing to the full range of Yamaha's technologies, know-how, and sensibilities cultivated over the company's long history. The theme of concept design was to create a facility where visitors can "see," "hear," and "touch" Yamaha's DNA, its present, and its challenges for the future. The challenge was to create a space that would convey Yamaha's corporate stance and showcase its musical instruments in a way that was different from that of a physical store. displays The main street was to be the axis of the building, and the zoning was to clearly separate light areas from dark areas. We feel comfortable with your extensive track record, and the detailed project progression and on-site construction have resulted in the completion of a wonderful facility, thank you very much. ＜Our project members＞ [Sales/Project Management] Takashi Sakamoto, Kensuke Feiniwa, Kyoko Watanabe [design, layout] Keiu Tamura, Noriaki Terunuma, Atsuko Nakazawa [Planning/Signage/Graphics concept design] Tomoko Yanagihara, Mitsuka Kobayashi [Production/ construction] Atsushi Yanome

[Project Description] This facility is an innovation facility created with the aim of co-creating new value by bringing together people, technology, and wisdom, in addition to being a space to introduce and experience the technologies that Ajinomoto has cultivated so far, with the goal of solving the challenges of business partners and social issues. [Client's Challenges/Requests] Until now, technology introductions to companies have been on a visit-based basis, which limits the number of technologies that can be explained at one time, and it is difficult to convey the actual product introductions and the value of the technology. Therefore, there was a need to create a place where the appeal could be made more efficiently and effectively. Furthermore, there was a need to create an environment in which the potential value of the technology could be effectively conveyed and customer needs could be efficiently understood by allowing customers to "see, touch, and feel" the technologies that are owned. [Solution] In composing the space, we built a variable system based on the following ideas: ① fixed form (not having a fixed shape in terms of time or space), ② bidirectional (dialogue is the main focus, not objects or technology), and ③ unfinished (changing along with the evolution and changes of the world), thereby realizing highly flexible planning. This allows us to appeal to customers efficiently according to their needs and also enables unexpected connections and discoveries. Furthermore, as a concept design concept, we aimed to create a space (innovation space) that encourages free and flexible thinking by combining circles and organic curves, based on the theme of "Ferment" (to ferment, to revive, to stimulate). <Our Project Members> [Planning] Yuichi Saito, Tomoko Yanagihara, Keita Kobayashi [design, layout] Keiyu Tamura, Kensaku Shiroto [Creative Engineers] Kenichi Kishikawa, Ken Yanagisawa, Katsuji Oguchi (Nomura Techno) [Production & Construction] Jun Endo [Sales & Project Management] Ayako Konda, Atsuko Matsubara, Yasushi Shimizu

[Project Description] We converted a samurai residence over 140 years old, located within the Obi Important Traditional Buildings Preservation District, a castle town with a long history in Kyushu, into an office where you can experience the local culture. The overall concept is "Post-Heritage: Transformation for Inheritance and Passing on to the Next Generation," and by clarifying the points to be passed on and the points to be renewed, we are trying a new way of connecting culture. We aimed to create a space that connects with the community by reinterpreting the lifestyle of former private homes in a modern way. The concept design consists of two different spaces: a communication space with a large table made from the floorboards used in the original private home, and an open workspace with a counter facing the greenery through the opening. The gravel-covered earthen floor inserted between them serves as an intermediate area that connects the two spaces and the outside and inside. The newly constructed "tiered deck" in the garden gently connects the inside and outside, and is used as a space that connects people, things, and events, such as events where local people gather and promotional spaces for local products. [Customer Feedback] The unique and attractive office space, which allows us to experience the local culture, has been well-received not only by local residents but also by many municipalities and companies involved in vacant property management. These connections have enabled us to develop new businesses. <Our Project Members> [Development] Yasutoshi Yamano [Sales] Toru Moenuki [design, layout] Yoichi Kawakami, Shinpei Takeda, Ryosuke Shimizu

[Project Overview] A grand project, "Reviving Steam Locomotive Operation," has been launched, and for the first time in approximately half a century, a steam locomotive will run on the Kinugawa Line for Tobu Railway. As part of the project, our company was involved in everything from the basic plan to concept design and supervision of the station buildings, platforms, and headmarks, as well as creating a lively atmosphere at Kinugawa Onsen Station and planning, designing, and construction the SL displays hall at Shimo-Imaichi Station. [Client's Challenges] In order to realize the project's three main themes—"preservation and utilization of railway industrial cultural heritage," "revitalization of the Nikko and Kinugawa area," and ultimately "contributing to Tohoku reconstruction support"—we aimed to create a lively atmosphere to enhance regional branding and recognition, and to create displays that convey the appeal of railway industrial cultural heritage and expand the number of railway fans. [Solution] Based on a Showa retro concept design reminiscent of the time when steam locomotives were running, we created a lively atmosphere at the station and displays that allow people of all ages, not just core railway fans, to enjoy the charm of steam locomotives. At both stations where the steam locomotive stops, we created an environment that evokes the station buildings of the time, including concept design and large, eye-catching lanterns. The steam locomotive displays hall features life-sized photographs of steam locomotives that are awe-inspiring in their size, flip-book displays that children can enjoy, and information about the history of steam locomotives at Tobu Railway that will appeal to local residents and steam locomotive fans. <Our Project Members> [Development] Motoo Kawada [Sales & Project Management] Motoo Kawada, Masahiro Takamori [Research, Planning & Consulting] Yoko Furuta, Tetsuro Yasuda, Toko Takeuchi [design, layout] Naoko Ishii, Takayuki Sato [Production & construction] Koichiro Matsukawa, Masato Soeno

[Project Description] "A home connected to nature where you can play innocently and immerse yourself in nothingness" is a second home proposal for the ReLife generation (a man in his 50s, occupation: pastry chef). The desire to "continue to grow with excitement and have an environment where I can deepen my creativity no matter my age" was developed with the image of a "secret base where you can return to being a boy." The design includes a living space where you can play "innocently" with family and friends while sitting or lying down, and a circular window room where you can become one with nature and "mindlessly" immerse yourself in your own world. The house makes extensive use of "earthen walls" which have excellent texture and functionality, and lighting effects are used effectively. You can experience a space where creativity deepens from the two "nothingnesses" of "innocence" and "mindlessness." Our company assisted with the planning, concept design, and construction. [Client's Challenges/Requests] The challenge was how to express a space where everyone can gather and play, and a space where one can immerse oneself mindlessly in one's own world, all within a single living space, based on the theme of a "secret base where you can return to being a boy." [Solution] As one large space, we made extensive use of earthen walls, which have excellent texture and functionality, to create a comfortable space. Within that space, we created a tiered stage using Panasonic's interior counter as a space for everyone to gather and play "innocently," and placed a large table in the center to create a space where everyone can come together. In the other space for "mindlessness," we placed a circular window room, which serves as a concept design accent in the living space and creates a space where one can feel and immerse oneself in nature. <Our Project Members> [Sales/Project Management] Yusuke Mori [Planning/ design, layout] Kenji Takahashi [Production/ construction] Masao Ogawa

[Project Overview] This facility was renovated with the aim of introducing the history of the evolution of automobiles in Japan, the United States, and Europe from their birth to the present day, through their relationship with society. The previous displays style, in which Japan and Europe were arranged on separate floors, was changed to an integrated displays that conveys how Japanese car manufacturing has developed within a single world history. A key feature is the graphic arrangement that does not distract from the appreciation of the cars, such as the creation of catchy messages and photographic presentations that show the background of the era, and the realization of a museum where visitors can intuitively understand the emotional worldview of car concept design that has developed alongside technological advancements. [Client's Challenge] The challenge was to create an integrated exhibition that would reveal the value and appeal of cars by conveying how the Japanese automobile industry has developed within the context of its relationship with society, such as the social needs and challenges of each era in world history. [Solution] Attention was paid to displays an explanatory plan that is easy to understand and deepens the understanding of diverse visitors, as well as an effective placement of vehicles. The history of Japanese cars and European cars, which were previously separated on different floors, were presented as a single world history, creating an integrated displays that allows visitors to intuitively feel the history of automobile development. displays displays designed so that visitors would naturally learn about Japan's role in the 100-year history of automobiles as they walked around. [Customer Feedback] By using transparent partitions such as mesh tarpaulin and ball bead curtains for zone displays explanations and spatial design, we were able to utilize the original building's characteristic of high openness while realizing zone divisions and spatial design with large graphics, enriching displays content and improving the quality of the space.

[Project Overview] A plan was made to construct a new business support lounge within the Otemachi Park Building, which houses serviced apartments, with the aim of improving the functionality of Marunouchi, an international business center, by developing business support facilities. [Client's Challenges] As it was a business support lounge, the challenge was to consider what functions should be provided to allow office workers to lead a richer work-life balance. In terms of concept design, the challenge was how to create a high-quality concept design in relation to the historical landscape, mainly the Imperial Palace, and in the sophisticated location of Marunouchi. [Solution] As ancillary functions of the lounge, work booths, telephone booths, separate men's and women's nap rooms, a fitness center, separate men's and women's shower rooms, and a childcare facility were installed to support various working styles of office workers.

[Project Overview] Alpen Co., Ltd. is the largest sports retailer in Japan. Its sales are supported by its own brand products. In order to make its private label products even more innovative, the company gathered its own designers on one floor and created a "co-creation floor" with the floor concept of "gathering and creating." This floor is a place where people can gather, talk, inspire each other, empathize with each other, and create new things together.

The desks are arranged randomly, so the whole space feels very open. There is a standing meeting space in the center, which is very convenient when working on projects that involve multiple groups, and we use it often. I also feel that the detailed allocation of electrical wiring has an effect on saving energy.
