[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.
