This project involved rebuilding the new office of Usufuku Honten, which was damaged in the Great East Japan Earthquake. Usufuku Honten is a fishing company with over 130 years of history, founded in 1882. With the philosophy of "living with the sea," the company operates deep-sea tuna fishing and tuna longline fishing, and is responsible for the reconstruction of Kesennuma and the Tohoku region. The exterior concept design reproduces the copper plates used on the exterior walls of the former main house, which was washed away by the tsunami, and creates a new copper-plate scale wall. Over the years, the copper plate will change to the texture and color of the former main house. In addition, elements of tuna fishing boats have been extracted and curved windows and handrails have been incorporated into the architecture. concept design scope that we were in charge of included the exterior concept design, the first floor entrance, the second floor office, and the president's office and reception room on the third floor.

In conjunction with the establishment of Benda Kogyo's new headquarters technical research center, we have opened a new displays space, the "BENDA INNOVATION TEC GALLERY." We are in charge of concept design and interiors displays construction. In order to strongly convey the message of "Made in Japan's technological capabilities to the world" and to increase interest and satisfaction and empathy among business partners and employees, we created a space that leaves a strong impression using Benda Blue, our corporate color. We aimed to create a space where innovation spreads from the center of the gallery, intermingling and connecting the world in a circle (ring), making it a starting point for further leaps forward in the next 100 years.

This project is an upcycling activity that complements and displays "scrap" generated from building materials and interiors materials as "furniture," reuses them as recycled materials, and gives back to the earth. According to the Ministry of the Environment, the amount of industrial waste generated in Japan in fiscal year 2020 is 373.82 million tons* per year, and nearly 1 million tons of scrap is generated per day. We, the creators who come into contact with various materials in our concept design work every day, felt that it was our responsibility to take the lead in spreading the message of recycling the earth's limited resources to society and the local community. We formed a team of young creators within the company to plan and manage the project as a social contribution activity. We enclosed and complemented the shredded waste materials in a transparent skin made of recycled vinyl as furniture, and displays to appeal to the message with an art displays-like expression, and toured offices and public spaces both in Japan and overseas. After a certain period of displays, the materials will be returned to interiors and construction site as interiors resources, and the next waste material will be enclosed, supplemented, and displays in a traveling sustainability project. In order to reach as many people as possible, a launch displays was held in the entrance space of the company's office to solicit sponsoring companies, and it has received support from many sponsoring companies, local people, and educational institutions. The exhibition is based on an interiors concept that allows anyone to intuitively grasp the message, by allowing people to "see, learn about, and touch" "interior waste materials" that are not seen in everyday life, and to displays as a "trigger" for thinking about a better future and a sustainable society. *Source: Ministry of the Environment, "Total Emissions in 2020"

This is a reconstruction project for the showroom and office of Kyushu Mitsubishi Motors Sales Co., Ltd. It is an 8-story steel-framed building, and we were in charge of the interiors design and construction of the cafe and restaurant on the first floor and the showroom on the second floor. As a new landmark for Yakuin, Fukuoka City, we aimed to create a space that can connect with people and the city (region) with the concept of "obi". The cafe and restaurant are concept design to be an open space that is easy to enter and to be a communication space integrated with the showroom. In addition, we installed large digital signage, a turntable that symbolically displays cars, and a lighted ceiling, and sprinkled elements to naturally make customers at the cafe interested in cars. The showroom on the second floor adopts an organic design that makes extensive use of curved surfaces that symbolize the "obi", and the ceiling has a concept design pattern that deforms Mitsubishi's three diamonds. In addition, the showroom is based on the Mitsubishi brand colors of black, white, and gray, and has a simple and solid feel that is "typical of Mitsubishi Motors". In addition, we set up a kids' corner where children can have fun even if they come as a family, a corner to promote V2H technology, and a dedicated corner for important business negotiations, and designed the space to further update the functions of a conventional showroom space. construction: PS Mitsubishi/Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Transportation Construction Engineering Joint Venture [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] In addition to existing customers, we received a request to create a space that would attract a wide range of new customer groups that had not been fully captured until now, such as young families and young people who are not very interested in cars. [Solution] The cafe restaurant on the first floor facing the main street has openable sash windows that eliminate borders between the terrace seats and the inside of the store, allowing signage images and various events to be promoted all the way to the street, aiming to create a space that can attract a wide variety of customers. The symbolic spiral staircase and atrium leading to the showroom on the second floor, and the uniformity of materials that unite the two floors, naturally invite customers who use the cafe restaurant into the showroom, where they can experience Mitsubishi Motors' V2H technology and the latest technology, and experience the potential of automobiles to bring sustainable prosperity and happiness to people, creating an iconic environment. The showroom was planned with the customer's perspective in mind throughout, with a kids' corner located in the center so that children can be kept an eye on while business negotiations are taking place. In addition, consideration has been given to reducing the environmental impact by incorporating V2H linked to the solar power generation system installed on the building's rooftop, motion sensors, and lighting control with an automatic dimming system. <Our project members> [Sales/Project Management] Goto Naoki [Architecture/ concept design] Takao Kazuyoshi, Sawada Riho [Production/ construction] Nakano Keiji

This is a value-upgrade project for the renovation of a 20+ year old office building in a corner of Kanda Ogawa-cho. The main renovation areas are part of the exterior façade and building signage, the first floor entrance, and the common areas of the standard floor (4th floor). concept design concept throughout is "Timeless & Biophilic concept design *". By making good use of the existing granite space, the disposal of waste materials due to removal was minimized, and the fusion of good old materials and new materials made it a cost-effective concept design while being conscious of sustainability. *What is biophilic concept design: A design or method that allows people in a space to feel a connection with nature. Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] The building was more than 20 years old, and there were concerns about the future due to the concept design obsolescence of the entrance and other parts of the building, as well as a decline in competitiveness in the area. In addition, the building's entrance does not face the main street, giving the impression that the main flow line is a back alley, and there was room for improvement in terms of the building's visibility. Based on these issues, this project was required to improve the competitiveness and visibility of the property by renovating the entrance, façade, and some standard floors. SOLUTION: To soften the dark, back-alley feel of the facade, dynamic wood grain louvers and indirect lighting were newly installed to create a bright building face. The entrance is made of glass and natural wood to renew the old-fashioned look of the building and to motivate the people who work there. Sanitary fixtures such as toilets and hot water supply rooms on the office floors were also renovated to meet new standards such as anti-bacterial. Through these comprehensive renovations, we aim to make the entire building a safe and comfortable place for the people who work there. Thanks to the concerted efforts of the sales staff, designers, and construction staff at NOMURA, we were able to successfully complete this project. We would like to express our gratitude for the meticulous follow-up at each phase of the project. We feel that the renovated façade and entrance are functioning more than adequately as the face of the new building. ＜Development] Takuya Kitai [Sales/Project Management] Masahiro Harada, Kayu Tatsumi [Research] Wataru Takada [design, layout] Hiroyuki Nii, Ayaka Miyane, Hitoteru Igarashi [Production/ construction] Mai Sakai, Tomokuni Hasegawa, Ikuya Sasaki

This is an experimental facility aimed at expanding Panasonic's air quality and air conditioning product solutions, with three themes in mind: "Air quality issues in non-residential spaces," "A place to co-create with business partners," and "Experience the latest prototypes that control the seven elements of air quality." Through this facility, you can actually experience the "wind," which leads to the promotion of solutions that meet customer needs through co-creation and development. In order to allow you to feel the wind in various locations as air quality and air conditioning solutions, group worksheets, meeting spaces, and private booths are available, making it possible to experience the "wind" in each situation. The purpose of using this facility is to promote co-creation and further lead to the practice of a human-centered product development process. [Social Issues / Customer Issues / Requests] In order to expand the scope of air quality and air conditioning solutions, we received a request to create a place that would more attractively convey the excellent features of the latest products. [Solution] Taking advantage of the glass façade that pours in natural light, we aimed to create a space that feels more comfortable when the solution "wind" overlaps. We have also devised ways to highlight the effectiveness of "wind" as one of the interiors components. Furthermore, the air quality and conditioning solutions incorporated into each booth and area have been designed with consideration given to the layout and zoning so that they are not simply displays, but can also be used for meetings and workspaces. [Customer feedback] Thanks to the well-balanced proposal for materials that have a natural feel, such as wood grain and stone, the plants blended into the space when they were added, creating a space that harmonizes with the wind and gives a sense of well-being. Furthermore, when our employees actually used the space, they could see for themselves that it was a comfortable, easy-to-spend layout. <Our project members> [Sales and project management] Nomura Medias: Sato Hikaru [design, layout] Mori Hiroaki [Production and construction] Nomura Medias: Kawabata Toshiaki, Sano Kazuhiro

This project was launched in July 2020 by Cosmos Initia Co., Ltd., a member of the Daiwa House Group, as the third installment of its rental office business, MID POINT, which aims to realize the concept of “work and home proximity.” We were responsible for concept design, schematic design, working drawings, and construction. The store is located in the Kosugi 3rd Avenue complex, a two-minute walk from Musashi-Kosugi Station, and is conveniently located for both work and customer service. In addition to the traditional office space, the lounge also features a kitchen equipped with tableware and cooking utensils, making it a space that can be used not only for business purposes, but also for holding events for contracted employees. There is also a cafe open to the local community, which can be used by those who are not contracted with MID POINT. We were also in charge of the following stores:・MID POINT Omori (Opening February 2022) ・MID POINT Shibuya Shinsen (Opening December 2021) ・MID POINT Kawasaki (Opening April 2021) ・MID POINT Meguro Fudomae (Opening November 2018) [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] We were asked to provide a cafe and a lounge space on the first floor that is easy for our clients to use while ensuring sufficient office space and number of rooms. [Solution] By concentrating the kitchen and plumbing equipment in the center of the first floor, we were able to maximize the number of seats in the cafe and lounge while improving space efficiency. In addition, by making the kitchen a counter kitchen, we were able to concept design the cafe and office space to be separated while still allowing a full view of the entire space. [Customer Feedback] As the third base for MID POINT, we were able to achieve an excellent balance between upgrading the existing base and adding a new cafe. In addition, despite the difficult floor plan, they adjusted the layout to ensure the comfort of each space while securing the rent income. <Our project members> ・MID POINT Musashi-Kosugi [Sales/Project Management] Keita Shima [design, layout] Hiroyuki Nii, Ayaka Miyane [Production/ construction] Kentaro Hirano [Planning/Operation Advice] Sahoko Suzuki, Naoki Nomura ・MID POINT Omori [Sales/Project Management] Takashi Kobori, Keita Shima, Mizuki Ichihara [Planning] Taku Sugimoto [concept design Direction] Hisako Kashiwasawa, Sayaka Eto ・MID POINT Shibuya Shinsen [Sales/Project Management] Takashi Kobori, Keita Shima, Mizuki Ichihara [Planning] Taku Sugimoto

This is a head office renovation project for Nice Co., Ltd., a distributor of wood and building materials, celebrating its 70th anniversary. We were selected as the result of a proposal competition. Based on the concept of "knowing trees and communicating about trees," we aimed to build a base where wood specialists can gather and create a sustainable circulation centered on wood, thereby aiming to be a "facility that contributes to creating a bright society with trees" that can further stimulate the distribution of wood. The first and second floors, where visitors are welcomed, and the eighth floor, which has a reception room, were considered to be places that could appeal to customers, and were concept design using Nice's original wood products as materials. In the lobby, the dynamic wooden colonnade that stretches up to the high ceiling of the atrium and the vertical blinds made of lace material attached to the large glass windows gently block the view from the outside world, and the scattered glass lamps express the sunlight filtering through the trees, making the most of the large space to create a hospitality space. On the 7th floor, where employees gather, we have set up a conference room and a reading corner so that employees can enjoy and spontaneously interact with "trees." It is a place for artisans to gather and browse technology. By creating spaces where employees can concentrate and spaces that encourage active communication, we have created a flexible space configuration that caters to the working style of each employee. [Social issues/customer issues/requests] The specific request for this renewal was to share concept design and values that symbolize sustainability, such as "carbon-free and wood-based," and to create an office environment that improves communication during the COVID-19 pandemic. [Solution] In order to realize the strong desire for wood-based materials, we communicated closely with NICE's project managers and their own factory managers, and proceeded with concept design while deciding on the materials and color of the wood. The communication area for employees is intentionally designed to have no boundaries, and the area is softly divided by furniture such as a family restaurant bench and a solo desk where you can concentrate on your work, centered around an arched bookshelf. By making it an OA floor, it has the function of realizing a flexible working style. [Customer feedback] NOMURA took on the project, and thanks to them we were able to create a welcoming space that is reminiscent of a high-quality, relaxed hotel lobby, something we would never have dreamed up ourselves. This time, they used a variety of their own products and tree species as materials. What could have easily been a disjointed impression was managed to exquisitely harmonize the characteristics of the tree species with the space, achieving a wooden renovation befitting a company with roots in "wood". We are extremely grateful that this was made possible by NOMURA 's high level concept design and technical capabilities. <Our project members> [Development] Kitai Takuya [Sales and project promotion] Kitai Takuya, Nakayabu Midori, Yoshii Seijun [design, layout] Taibichi Sachiko, Hiura Nao [Production and construction] Hirowatari Ryokazu, Iwashita Nozomi, Kikuchi Nohara

Business Brain Ota Showa Co., Ltd. (Below, BBS) has been in business for more than 50 years and provides consulting, system construction and operation, and business process outsourcing. The head office was relocated due to the reduction of office space in order to adapt to new ways of working and consideration for the realization of a carbon-neutral society. our company was in charge of the entrance and the guest meeting room area in design, layout construction. The layout plan is structured around two key words: history, which has supported client management accounting, and the near future, which supports innovation and digital innovation. It also conveys a sense of gravity as a consulting company originating in Japan and a desire to become a 100 year company. In order to express the "history" and "near future" characteristic of BBS, the "history" was expressed with wooden ribs of different sizes, and the base material of the whole space was used. In contrast to the wooden ribs, the "future" is represented by a light box at the center of the floor, and the same delicate lines of original glass film and indirect lighting are used. < our company Project Member > [Sales/Project Management] Keiji Kawashima [Planning/Design/Direction] Hisako Kashiwase [Planning/concept design] Sayaka Eto [Production Management] Yusuke Yamazaki

This is a renovation plan for the Toyobo Building, located along the Dojima River in Osaka, an area filled with charming historical buildings and abundant nature. The Dojima River is a river with an attractive landscape that represents Osaka, known as the "City of Water," so we aimed to create a place where people can work energetically while enjoying the comfort of this location. The plaza is designed as if the deck along the river extends to the building, and a swaying willow tree is placed as the symbolic tree, allowing people to visually feel the river breeze. The facade incorporates concept design inspired by the grandeur of the Dojima River and the density of its waves. The building's exterior is wrapped in a soft wave design, which is intended to harmonize with the building and become a new symbol of the city. The lobby lounge is designed to coordinate with the facade, giving continuity between the inside and outside, and by adopting sofas of various shapes and original acoustics, it creates a comfortable atmosphere. In addition, visual art that visualizes the outside environment such as temperature and wind is applied to the central pillar, allowing people to feel the comfort of the river breeze even indoors. Each floor is decorated with photographs of the Dojima River showing its various faces, while the restrooms feature original art that delicately depicts waves. The different color palettes on each floor will surprise visitors.

Toyo Seikan Group Holdings Co., Ltd. manufactures various packaging containers using materials such as metal, plastic, paper and glass, and as one of the world's leading comprehensive container manufacturers, has provided products that support all aspects of people's lives. As a renovation project for the Innovation Gallery on the 15th floor of the head office, this facility was concept design with the concept of "a place where various information and people that will trigger daily life, work and the future can meet and communicate". [Social issues / Customer issues / Requests] Through this renovation, we would like to turn the Innovation Gallery into an information dissemination facility to create and activate dialogue with customers. We would like to disseminate the latest technologies and efforts, including the core technologies of each Toyo Seikan Group company, and make it a facility that is recognized both inside and outside the company as a place where you can obtain the latest information on packaging containers. The above requests were received. [Solution] We have set up a topic displays corner that disseminates the "now" of packaging containers through the latest technologies and efforts, and have adopted a modular concept design as a mechanism for easy operation in a timely manner. We have also set up an displays corner for the core technologies of each group company, and designed the concept design to intuitively convey the "core technologies" that are the strengths of each company and the "comprehensive strength" of the Toyo Seikan Group. <Our project members> [Sales/Project Management] Yoshiki Yamada [Planning] Atsuro Iizuka [design, layout] Kaoru Ueda, Akika Yamada, Hironobu Teruyoshi [Production/ construction] Takashi Kodama

This project involved design, layout of the showroom for the Tsu Factory, which is the core of Panasonic Corporation's founding business of wiring device production. We aimed to gain further trust from customers by having visitors experience the hidden technical capabilities and cutting-edge production system behind the wiring device products in displays room and factory. displays room is composed of sections on "history," "product introduction," "Tsu Factory introduction," and "Factory technology and production capacity introduction," and is designed to link with various parts of each building on the premises. We considered everything, including the factory tour, to be elements that make up the showroom, and aimed to turn the entire factory into a showroom by creating a path from displays room to the manufacturing building. [Social issues/customer issues/requests] In order to build the theme of the facility, "trust," with customers, our role was to materialize through experience how visitors could deepen their understanding of the Tsu Factory's technical capabilities, factory production capacity, and history. [Solution] Based on the keyword "trust," we picked out the strengths of the Tsu Factory that are incorporated into the products, and created points that would give visitors notice and surprise through displays. By connecting each point, displays is structured so that visitors can gradually deepen their understanding as they proceed along the route. We created a space where the "trust" between visitors and the factory can be deepened throughout the entire experience. <Our project members> [Sales/Project Management] Hikaru Sato, Yu Takahashi [design, layout] Hiroaki Mori, Minamo Maeda, Mayumi Shigematsu [Production/ construction] Kazuya Fujii, Masaru Oishi

Since opening as a whisky museum in 1998, the number of visitors has exceeded 600,000, due in part to the airing of TV dramas and the arrival of the highball boom. As the facility has deteriorated and the way displays are displayed has become outdated, the decision was made to renovate the former Whisky Museum in the first phase of the project while also reviewing the entire Yoichi Distillery tour facility. The Yoichi Distillery is an important point of contact where visitors can experience Nikka, and it is also a sacred place for whisky fans. However, the previous tour facility was not at a level commensurate with its importance, and the fact that it has not kept up with the changes and evolution of the world was a major issue in the current renovation. The main theme of the renovation is to create a story about the ideal whisky making of founder Masataka Taketsuru, or Yoichi as the origin of Nikka, and how it will move forward into the future, and to foster understanding and empathy for the Nikka brand. [Social issues / Customer issues / Requests] 1. The purpose of the renovation is to further improve the understanding and satisfaction of visitors, increase the number of Nikka fans, and strengthen the brand. ② With the growing popularity of whisky, we will renovate displays to meet the needs of the expanding user base and diversifying visitors. ③ We will reorganize the exhibits to accommodate the increasing number of foreign visitors. ④ We will target visitors who are interested in whisky. ⑤ We will displays everything from the basics, such as the manufacturing process, to the details and trivia, but we would like the exhibits to be intuitive and not comprehensive. These were the requests we received. [Solution] In planning and designing this exhibit, we made a major shift in our thinking from the general and comprehensive whisky information provided by the whisky museum, and tried a completely new approach to displays. Based on the concept of "Learn about the essence of Nikka Whisky through the brand stories of Nikka's four products," we focused on the four brands that represent Nikka and turned each brand story into an displays experience. We aimed to create an experience where visitors could learn about the essence of Nikka Whisky and basic knowledge of whisky while following the brand stories. displays include footage of various people working at the distillery giving talks and introducing the important role of the blender, and for the first time ever incorporate displays design that whisky fans have never seen before. displays commentary includes trivia information for the main target audience, and many displays also include content that reveals the secrets of the manufacturing process that gives shape to the individuality of the products. Regarding multilingualization, displays commentary will be written in Japanese and English as a base, and digital technology has been introduced that allows visitors to read translated commentary on their personal mobile phones to accommodate Chinese visitors, who make up the majority of the visitors. <Our project members> [Sales/Project Management] Matsubara Tadayuki [Creative Direction] Tamura Keiyu [concept design Direction] Suzuki Fujie [concept design Planning] Yamada Akira, Shirodo Kensaku [Planning] Yanagihara Tomoko, Iizuka Atsuro [Production] Iwasaki Tsukasa, Umemoto Ikushige
