We were in charge of planning, design, layout and construction of the employee cafeteria "Yao Daiichi Shokudo Isshoku" that opened at the Yao Works of Sharp Corporation (hereinafter referred to as "Sharp") on November 1, 2021. In proposing the plan, we were conscious of not just creating a stylish space, but of "proposals that only Nomura can make," and proposed a cafeteria as an inner branding space where customers can discover the "SHARP-ness" across organizational boundaries and generations, as well as an outer branding space that can be experienced by business partners and affiliated companies who visit the company. We created three zones, lunch, work and salon, and devised a space that can be used not only as an employee cafeteria, but also as a place to relax, hold meetings with internal and external guests, and where people can connect and communicate. The single red line (Sharp Red) that runs through the cafeteria represents Sharp's history and future. For this project, we came up with concept design that would retain the characteristics of the Yao Works, which has a history of about 65 years as a production base for white goods, while also ensuring hygiene. In addition, the mezzanine floor, which was previously used for the production line, was used as an displays space for past products that symbolize SHARP, reducing waste and removal costs, an initiative that takes the SDGs into consideration. [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] As communication between divisions was weak, the customer requested that the space be made more active in encouraging internal connections. [Solution] We proposed that the space be used not just as a place to eat, but as a place to work and relax, and also proposed displays past products as a place to encourage communication between employees and experience and discover Sharp's history. <Our project members> [Sales/Project Management] Takahashi Yui [design, layout] Umedani Shota, Yamato Suzuha, Nakamura Yusuke, Miura Ayaka [Production Management] Mukaiyama Yoshitsugu ~Related Links~ [Announcements] ・ NOMURA 's social good activities: Case study of Yao Daiichi Shokudo Isshoku at Sharp's Yao facility

"EXPRESS WORK" is a new workplace for JR Central's EX service (Express Reservation and Smart EX) members*1. Located in the Marunouchi Chuo Building, it consists of two sections: the drop-in "EXPRESS WORK-Lounge" and the small rental office "EXPRESS WORK-Office." We have been involved since the concept formulation stage, and were in charge of project management, space concept design, and construction. "EXPRESS WORK-Lounge" and "EXPRESS WORK-Office" are directly connected to Tokyo Station and are in an excellent location, making them extremely convenient environments, especially for business users who use the Shinkansen. The space is a socially good space that reflects JR Central's efforts to protect the global environment and revitalize the local area. interiors materials are made from upcycled*2 aluminum (hereafter referred to as recycled aluminum) from the 700-series Tokaido Shinkansen train cars, and FUJI HINOKI MADE wood, a brand of Fuji cypress provided by Fuji City, Shizuoka Prefecture, along the Tokaido Shinkansen line, giving off a faint cypress scent and creating a soothing space for business users. *1 How to use the "EXPRESS WORK-Lounge": In addition to being an EX Service member, you must also register as an "EXPRESS WORK" member. *2 Upcycling: The process of giving waste that would otherwise be thrown away new life by upgrading it into a new product by adding new added value such as concept design or ideas.

This creative museum opened in the Panasonic Center Tokyo as a successor to RiSuPia, which opened in 2006. It is a place where inquiry learning on themes such as SDGs is practiced based on STEAM education. As a place to cultivate children's intellectual curiosity and inspiration, it provides an environment where they can experience both learning and making things and events. The space was designed based on five themes to freely release curiosity and motivation for creativity: "Feeling that it's okay to get dirty," "Feeling that you can make it yourself," "Feeling that you can rearrange it," "Feeling that you're not confined to a framework," and "Feeling that you can concept design a session together." Furthermore, from the perspective of SDGs, the existing environment was effectively reused and updated while incorporating it as a concept design motif. The project team's desire to build on the history of the predecessor museum and to add new history to it is also expressed in the spatial concept design. <Our project members> [Sales/Project Management] Yamazaki Kei [Direction] Yamaguchi Akane [design, layout] Koga Sayaka, Tani Seiho, Sasai Ayumu, Nakade Mikiyuki [Production/ construction] Kumazawa Yuta, Asakura Yumi ~Related links~ [Release] ・ NOMURA 's social good activities: The case of AkeruE Creating a space that fosters children's intellectual curiosity and inspiration for a better recycling society in the future [nomlog] ・Until AkeruE was created.

Careritz & Partners Co., Ltd. is a company that is growing rapidly in the nursing care business, mainly in home care services, by utilizing IT technology. We concept design the entrance and meeting room, which will be the face of the company, when the Head Office expanded its head office from the 8th floor to the 15th floor of Shinjuku Miraina Tower. [Social Issues / Customer Issues / Requests] Since many job interviews are held, the company wanted a space where job seekers could relax during the interview and an entrance that would give a sense of the company's growth. [Solution] Since the corporate color is green, live plants were placed in a lattice, and the plants eventually grew and grew out of the frame, representing "growth without being bound by frames." In addition, by dividing the meeting room with a glass partition, a sense of spaciousness was created, and an open space that makes use of the borrowed scenery was realized. Since the color green has a visually relaxing effect, the floor of the meeting room is covered with wood and green carpet. In addition, in response to the increase in online meetings, we have prepared a telecon booth for 1 to 2 people and a meeting room that can seat from 4 to a maximum of 20 people so that it can be used according to the number of people in the meeting. Since many training sessions are held within the company, the entrance for visitors and employees taking training sessions was separated to allow for easy access. <Our project members> [Development] Okawa Nobutoshi [Sales/Project Management] Mukuo Ai [design, layout] Shimizu Shigemi, Koga Sayaka, Hagiwara Mitsutaka [Production construction] Shimizu Kota, Odajima Keita

The Morinaga Angel Museum MORIUM was created as part of the Morinaga & Co. 120th anniversary project. We were responsible for the total production, including spatial concept design, displays planning and production, and the production of various content, including theater videos.

Hitachi Origin Park is a new starting point for Hitachi, Ltd., consisting of four facilities: the Kodaira Memorial Hall, the Sogetsu Koya, the Omika Club, and the Omika Golf Club. The Kodaira Memorial Hall is a future-oriented memorial hall that enhances the engagement of all employees and general visitors. It is a museum that touches on the aspirations of displays Namihei Kodaira, conveys the company's roots to all employees, and allows local residents to learn about the history of social innovation, which has continued to challenge social issues with "harmony, sincerity, and pioneering spirit." In addition, as a place to think about social issues together in the future, a participatory theater has been set up, where visitors can look back on displays themes to date and think about the displays. The Sogetsu Koya, the origin of the company's founding, has been restored as a symbol of Hitachi Origin Park, and visitors can experience the realism of the time by adding recorded footage and 3D sound to the reproduction of the actual environment, creating displays that imprints the spirit of the company's founding in their hearts.

This project was carried out based on the machine tools collected and used by Sankyo Seisakusho, with the goal of cultural preservation and educational use, while leaving them as a valuable asset for the next generation. It will be the best machine tool displays space in Japan, with a number of historical machine tools that embody modern industrial history. You can deepen your understanding of the changes and achievements of machine tools, which are the forerunners of the era and bring about industrial transformation, by system and era, and you can actually touch the machines and mechanisms, making new discoveries and learning. In addition, lighting is used to symbolize the machine tools, which are the core of displays. We participated from the research stage, and under the supervision of the supervisor, we were in charge of space concept design, lighting concept design, graphic concept design, and production and construction. [Customer feedback] The graphic concept design, color scheme, and especially the lighting were well balanced, creating an antique atmosphere. <Our project members> [Sales] Takanori Tsujii [Research] Shuta Fukahori, Takanori Tsujii [design, layout] Shuta Fukahori [Production and construction] Kazuo Maeda, Yurina Nishizono

This facility was newly opened in Ginza, Tokyo in April 2021 as a base for "agile development," in which Tokio Marine Group repeatedly verifies and improves in a short period of time. It is a workplace that brings together engineers and designers from Tokio Marine & Nichido Systems to promote the development of insurance and services using digital technology. The facility is a renovated four floors of an existing building, and the first floor is an entrance gallery with a user interview room. The third and fourth floors are office spaces occupied by Tokio Marine & Nichido Systems. The fifth floor is configured as a coworking space that promotes co-creation both inside and outside the company, and is concept design with the concept of a "creative social space," a communication-centered space where a chain of creative activities is born, rather than an office as a place to work. The message of Tokio Marine Group that "insurance is born from adventure and exists to support people's challenges" is the axis of the entire facility, and materials and artworks are selected with the themes of ① adventure, ② challenge, and ③ diversity, and we aim to concept design the space to exude an attitude of challenging anything without fear of failure. We hope that this facility, named G/D Lab., will be a place to accelerate the fusion of insurance and digital, and to support new adventures for the future. [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] The client used the keyword "diversity" to express the concept of a "creative social space" where various talents gather, so the goal was to design an environment that would allow anyone to work comfortably and with flexibility in mind. [Solution] From the perspective of creating a comfortable environment, the lighting plan for the office area incorporates the concept of circadian rhythm and uses fixtures that can be set by timers to change color temperature and illuminance from morning to evening. In addition, most of the fixtures are movable, allowing for flexible response to various working styles. Some of the fixture materials are made of recycled boards called "Kami-Pori Boards" made from upcycled waste paper and waste plastic, making the design environmentally friendly. <Our project members> [Sales and project management] Yasuhiro Urashima [Planning] Ryusuke Nomura, Yuuga Okamoto [design, layout] Manabu Yamanobe, Shunta Nakamura, Shunsuke Ami [Production and construction] Kentaro Hirano, Katsumi Chikada, Kazuki Misawa

This project was to build a place for customer contact in conjunction with the relocation of Fujifilm Business Innovation Japan (formerly Fuji Xerox) to a new office building. We were in charge of planning, design, layout the experience-based showroom "Bridge for Innovation" on the 17th floor of Toyosu Bayside Cross Tower, where the new office will be located. This project required the function of a showroom that would identify the direction of solving customers' problems and lead them to success, while also being a future workplace. Our answer was "agility of variable space." In the solution experience area, no fixed walls were built, and the entire space was composed of highly agile movable fixtures, thoroughly pursuing variable and movable space. [Social issue/customer issue/request] It was necessary to enable flexible operation so that the fixture layout arrangement could be created in a short time to match the business strategy. [Solution] We planned seven types of movable fixtures to correspond to the style of operation, where various booth configurations are updated daily to match the characteristics of the products and customers. Some partitions completely block the view, while others only let half of the view through, and these overlap to create even more variation in transparency. Furthermore, by not erecting fixed walls, and instead using color-coded floors and ceilings to make the boundaries of the spaces clear, natural zoning was made possible. Flexible infrastructure, such as power sources, has been installed under the floor, allowing for easy function conversion in the future. The thorough pursuit of a variable, movable space was also a challenge to organically control the spatial functions without building walls. <Our project members> [Sales and project management] Murakami Natsuko, Kawashima Toshito [Planning] Kobayashi Keita [design, layout] Onishi Ryo, Saka Nobuaki, Uemura Yoriko [Production and construction] Kimura Shunsaku, Murata Riku

This is a new style of community lounge that was realized by Sunshine City Co., Ltd. directly managing the vacant section of the 3rd floor food and beverage floor of Sunshine City Alpa. We were in charge of planning support, design, layout, and construction. The space is composed of a lounge space where workers can do desk work and a kitchen space where different businesses operate during lunch time, and is suitable for a variety of scenes such as not only work but also meals, refreshment, and event use. In addition, there is a cafe space where "BYRON BAY coffee", which is popular for its organic coffee, is open. It is a lounge space that does not specify how it is used as a place to connect "people and people" and "people and things", where a wide variety of people gather and act as a base for promoting new communities. The name of the facility, "SOLARIUM", means "sundial" in Latin, so it is an original name that is appropriate for this place where various people gather and interact depending on the time of day. [Social issues / Customer issues / Requests] Due to the changes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the options for places to work have increased, and a proposal for a flexible community lounge that can accommodate them was required. This project called for the proposal of co-working space with a kitchen, which is possible because the area is located on the food and beverage floor, and the creation of a community lounge that can be used by local people as well as workers, and the creation of opportunities for communication and flexibility of the space. [Solution] All the main tables are equipped with casters to accommodate a variety of situations. In addition, to make it comfortable to work and eat, a variety of seating options are available to choose from depending on the purpose and mood, such as box-shaped seats for individual work, a sofa area for a short break, and a high counter for casual conversation over a cup of coffee. In order to convey that it is a place for connecting with the local community, we commissioned FACE, a globally active artist from Toshima Ward, to create a work with the themes of "diversity" and "the city of Ikebukuro," and boldly laid it out on the glass surface of the space. By dispelling the image of Sunshine City up to now in a good way, it expresses that it is a place to take a step forward and embrace new values. <Our project members> [Sales/Project Management] Minami Hiramatsu [design, layout] Manabu Yamanobe, Noriaki Tamura, Kan Fujimura [Production/ construction] Takashi Kodama

This facility conveys to young employees and stakeholders the history of Aisin AW's challenge to develop the first domestically produced automatic transmission and car navigation system in Japan, and the passion and technology of its predecessors who rose to the top of the world. In the main space, in order to convey the struggles that Aisin AW faced, starting from imitating Europe and the United States and then groping its way to build its own technology, six stories were presented using manga expressions that young people like and symbolic scenes. displays encourages empathy with the story in a casual manner, like reading manga, and allows visitors to fully feel the passion of its predecessors. In addition, the building from 40 years ago, which still retains the breath of the employees of that time, was used as a stage for displays, and AT pallets and grating materials actually used in the factory were used as fixtures and stages to create an opportunity for "dialogue" between employees and customers. The old conference room area is a large, long, narrow space connected by small rooms, and the entire space is likened to a timeline to introduce the evolution of product technology. The stage was constructed using AT pallets, the same materials that AW has used to deliver its products to the world, creating something that employees can feel familiar with and proud of. This space is a giant AW timeline that allows people to intuitively feel at a glance the incredible technical capabilities of AW, which continues to create world firsts and world bests. <Our project members> [Creative direction] LHC: Yoshinaga Mitsuhide [design, layout] LHC: Kosaka Yuzo, Tanaka Yuji, Murayama Akihiro [Modeling] Kishikawa Kenichi [Sales and project management] Fujioka Takuya, Tange Yukari [Production and construction] Ito Shun

At the Kyushu Aso Factory, which is Koikeya's first production base in Kyushu, as part of an effort to bring smiles to the people of Kumamoto and Kyushu, the company has established the "Koikeya GOGO! Factory," where customers can experience the company's history and commitment since its founding while touring the factory and making their own original potato chips. This facility is designed to promote the appeal of Koikeya to local residents through factory tours at the Kyushu Aso Factory. [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] As the company is located in Mashiki Town, an area that was damaged by the Kumamoto earthquake, the company wanted to create jobs by operating the new factory and to produce high-value-added products as well as standard products, which would contribute to the recovery and revitalization of the region. As part of this effort to bring smiles to the people of Kyushu, including Kumamoto, the company planned to set up a facility where customers can experience the company's history and commitment since its founding while touring the factory and making their own original potato chips. [Solution] In order to convey the image of the "New Koikeya" as a "long-established potato chip store" that was rebranded in 2016, we used a noren curtain at the entrance and placed a huge graphic called "Koikeya Cultural Philosophy Map" that shows the history. In addition, when visitors enter the facility, they are greeted by a bright and white space, expressing the fact that Koikeya is creating "even more delicious" with the spirit of "Go! Go! Go!". The original potato chip making experience was also done in a "chef's style" using a square-shaped counter, and we placed emphasis on communication with visitors. [Customer feedback] They created a high-quality facility within a very short delivery period. They had a very good understanding of our commitment and the corporate image we were aiming for, and they were able to express it in the product. We hope that we can make great use of this as a place to communicate with the local community in the future. <Our project members> [Sales/Project Management] Hitomi Ariga [Planning] Tomoko Yanagihara, Mina Mochizuki [concept design] Noriaki Tamura, Akika Yamada [Graphics] Daishin Teruyoshi [Production] Tomoaki Morita

Keiyo Gas' Ichikawa showroom in Ichikawa, Chiba Prefecture, has been renovated into a community space open to the local community. The name "KeiyoGAS Community Terrace" (commonly known as "Terrace") incorporates the desire to create a place for everyone and to aim for the company's concept of "the next happy moment" through the "veranda = terrace" that is the point of contact between people, the city and life. The interior of the building was concept design with the concept of "veranda = terrace" in mind, to be a place for everyone that accepts the free activities and diverse ways of spending time of local people. In addition, under the facility slogan "Lighting up children, adults and the city," we have developed mechanisms that allow users to participate in community building and initiatives to support local life and activities. Through these initiatives, we aimed to create a community that grows together with citizens and the local community.

"Technology for creating a comfortable forest" Panasonic Center Osaka Re-Life Salon is a space where Panasonic's technology has been used to create a comfortable forest, with the hope that people can relax and become well-being. By combining various technologies such as sound, video, material processing, and airflow control with natural materials, we express the circulation of heaven and earth in the natural world and invite you to a comfortable experience that resonates with the five senses. [Social issues / Customer issues / Requests] Our role was to use Panasonic's technology to materialize the message of the facility's theme, "Enrich your life even more." [Solution] We incorporated healing elements that enrich life and constructed the entire space around concept design concept of "forest." Panasonic's technology was incorporated into a space composed of natural elements, creating a space where you can actually experience comfort. By combining concept design and technology and embodying the space, we created a place where the message of the entire facility can be conveyed. [Customer feedback] Panasonic's spatial solution technology has been physically incorporated into the concept design forest, creating a space that allows many customers to experience nature. Even now, it has become a salon area where many customers can naturally gather, and we feel that it functions as the face of the entrance to Panasonic Center Osaka. From the planning stage, NOMURA 's sales, designers, and construction teams worked together to think about this, and we are grateful for the support they provided to make this space a reality. <Our project members> [Sales and project management] Yusuke Mori, Hidenobu Kumagai [Planning] Masahiko Ohi [design, layout] Asako Hashimoto, Hiroaki Mori [Production and construction] Masao Ogawa ~Related links~ [Related achievements] ・Panasonic Center Tokyo ROOM S ・Panasonic Museum Konosuke Matsushita History Museum ・Panasonic Center Osaka "Re Life Story: A home connected to nature where you can play innocently and immerse yourself in nothingness" ・Wonder Life-BOX 2020 (inside Panasonic Center Tokyo) ・Panasonic Center Osaka

In March 2021, NOMURA Ltd. opened a new office in the Daiba Garden City Building adjacent to Head Office headquarters (Odaiba, Tokyo) that is suited to the new normal era. The company aims to encourage employees to communicate and demonstrate greater creativity while taking advantage of the diverse work styles and values of NOMURA Group. In 2019, NOMURA Group launched a group company base consolidation project with the aim of creating an environment in which employees can work together and demonstrate greater synergy. In response to the changes in work styles and social issues caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the company set three keywords, "health," "experiment," and "brand," and explored the nature of real office space in the new normal era to create "future work styles." - We believe that the function of the office in the new normal era will change from a "workplace" to an "innovative space that induces communication," where diverse human resources from inside and outside the company gather and actively exchange opinions and have chance encounters that are unique to the real world. Therefore, the communication space "RESET SPACE_2" was designed with the concept of "Unique Park" and was planned as a park-like space that any employee can use to suit their diverse and unique work styles. 100% fairwood is used. ・CONFERIUM is a proposal for a new conference room area, and is an attempt to "displays the behavior of working styles" that proactively shows unique meetings. The know-how used in displays spaces was applied to office spaces, such as darkening the common corridors to highlight the conference rooms as displays. ・Group addresses were adopted in the creative work area. In addition, the creative floor allows concept design work to be done while keeping in mind the "sense of concept design" such as the sense of scale and texture of materials, which are great strengths when concept design spaces. By clarifying the purpose, it became a low-cost and sophisticated space. This project was planned, designed, construction, and operated by NOMURA Group.
