Shizuoka's Kiuchi Construction Co., Ltd. constructed a new office building as part of its 100 year anniversary project. We were asked to create a gallery to introduce the company's 100 year history in displays, for the purpose of recruiting and communicating with clients. By showcasing the 100 year history chronology from its foundation to the present and the trajectory of its challenges in construction technology, we aimed to deepen the understanding of its history and create a space that can be effectively used as a communication tool for Kiuchi Construction to build the next 100 years. [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] • The company requested a design that clearly represents the characteristics of Kiuchi Construction and has a sense of dignity. ・ We were requested to present the information in a way that is easy for recruiters and clients to understand, and for subcontractors to recall projects they had worked on in the past and to have conversations with Kiuchi employees. ・ Regarding displays, we were asked to guarantee renewability. 【 Solution 】 Concrete was used as the core of the space expression in order to express the characteristics of a company that has developed by actively engaging in the concrete business with its own factory. The concrete that underpinned the company's growth has also been used as displays fixtures, allowing the company to feel the weight of its history and creating an impactful appearance. On the wall is a graphic sheet chronology showing the transition of a company from its founding to its post-war reconstruction, which overcame booms and busts while constantly responding to the needs of the times and growing. The showcase in the center shows a diorama model of a moment of technological challenge that has been a milestone in our 100 year history. Instead of displaying the finished building, we used a model of the construction scene to make it easier to understand. In addition, by elaborately representing the people involved in the construction work as a model, we created a realistic displays in which you can hear the sounds of the site and even the breathing and voices of the people of Kiuchi Construction and its partner companies, making it easy to initiate communication. < our company Project Members > 【 Sales 】 Ken Kumagai 【 design, layout 】 Kihiro Kitamura 【 Production/construction 】 Kazuo Maeda

The Yamato Group History Museum Kuroneko Yamato Museum was established to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Yamato Group's founding. This museum, which communicates the Yamato Group's 100-year history and future initiatives, was opened in the Yamato Konan Building, which was built as the group's next-generation base, and combines a collection and distribution center with a history museum, a research institute to explore the future of logistics, a training center for human resources development, and a cafe to support the social independence of people with disabilities. The museum has a spatial structure unique to a logistics company, where visitors can trace the 100-year history and changes in the world by descending the spiral road on the building's perimeter where the transport trucks run, and the spiral displays space created above and below the road is superimposed on the "road" that the Yamato Group has walked. The exhibition is divided into four periods spanning from the company's founding to the present. Visitors can feel the changes over the years through the cityscapes that were the stage for the company's history, its sales offices at the time, and the state of society and consumers. By experiencing the efforts that went into developing services through "visual displays" and the thoughts of its managers and employees that were put into them, displays aims to combine space and experience, allowing visitors to relive the Yamato Group's 100-year growth.

Shou-kan was built in 1892 in Nishikatamachi, Hongo-ku, Tokyo, as part of the residence of Count Abe, the former feudal lord of the former Fukuyama domain. In 1971, Tokio Kasuga, founder of Green Stamp Co., Ltd., relocated and restored it to Karuizawa, where it has been used as a memorial hall for the Green Stamp Karuizawa dormitory. In 2020, Shou-kan was renovated at the same time as the new annex as a retreat facility for both Green Stamp Co., Ltd. and Kenedix, Inc. We were responsible for the design and interior administration of the Shou-kan renovation, including seismic retrofitting, as well as the installation of FF&E for the entire facility. [Social Issues / Customer Issues / Requests] Various extensions and renovations have been made since the original relocation, and the only connection to the annex was via a corridor, which caused structural stress and led to subsidence. The entire facility was aging, and the Shoyukan was difficult to use in winter due to Karuizawa's climate, and although it was originally designed with tatami mats, its use had decreased due to changes in Japanese lifestyles. However, they wanted to renovate it while preserving as much of its original appearance as possible. [Solution] After investigating the Shoyukan, they restored it to its original simple form as much as possible, performed a seismic diagnosis, and reinforced the structure to withstand earthquake forces equivalent to those stipulated in the Building Standards Act. The building faces the annex across the courtyard, giving it a sense of unity as a whole facility. While respecting the original design as much as possible, they aimed to extend the period of use, including in winter, except for the coldest months, by installing insulation and air conditioning equipment in the parts that cannot be seen. They installed floor heating and replaced it with flooring, and the walls added for seismic resistance expressed the original walls, fixtures, and image of the time, while the upper half of the space retained as much of the original design as possible. <Our project members> [Sales] Kayumi Tatsumi [Survey, design, layout and interior administration] NAU1: Norio Koito [Production and construction] Mikiya Fujitaka

NTT Anode Energy is a company that promotes smart energy projects utilizing the Group's ICT and DC power supply technologies, and we aimed to create an office environment that symbolizes an energy company representing the NTT Group. The scope of work included directing the entire project, coordinating with various architectural and facility works, and supervising the work, which required strict adherence to a schedule. The project was delayed from the original schedule due to a new type of coronavirus infection, but we shared the issues with the client and the project members worked together to resolve the problems. SOLUTION: We were appointed to the project in March, but due to the Corona disaster, we used online conferencing to promote the project. Online meetings were also held as necessary to discuss video content and plantings, to ensure communication and thorough schedule, quality, and cost management. ＜Our project members＞ [Development] Akihiko Nishimura, Akihiko Suganuma [Sales and project management] Fumiho Ohashi, Akihiko Nishimura [Planning concept design] Ryuichi Okuda, Toshio Yamamoto [design, layout] Toshio Yamamoto [Production planning] Akio Hiraishi [Production planning, production, construction] Akinobu Takahashi

Office integration project for five advertising media companies of Gree. The concept of this project is "creating an opportunity for interchange." This concept was born from the idea of "providing a place that creates opportunities for accidental encounters and communication." The entrance space, which is the face of the five companies, is set to change the color of the lighting for each time and scene through the glass bricks, making it a space where you can feel change and movement. When used for events, it is envisioned to create a party scene with the light rhythmed to match the sound. Inside the office, there is a place called "Breakthrough Base" that will be an opportunity for the five companies to interact. "Breakthrough" means "not just a relaxation space, but a place to open up the future and break through the current situation," and "Base" means "not just a place, but a base that gives the feeling of strength and planning something." The floor is divided according to the expected flow of traffic, and is planned to be an "interchange: a crossing road," and is used as a place for natural interaction between the five companies. The parts that come into contact with the hands are aged to give a sense of freedom, as if the sea breeze is hitting you in Shinjuku, where you can't see the sea. The plain selection of materials and the use of chairs of various concept design create a relaxing space that exudes warmth and looseness. With the idea of a fresh start, we also created a minimalist space without over-elaborating it. While creating a sophisticated and stylish space, we also sprinkled in photogenic spots, something that only a company that deals in social business can offer. We designed a stylish space that gives the expectation that something new might be born. <Our project members> [Sales/Project Management] Yotsuya Masanori, Murakami Kaori [design, layout] Ozawa Atsuko, Obana Keita

This project is to renovate an displays room in the Panasonic Center Tokyo into a VIP reception and conference room. (Not open to the public) The spatial composition utilizes human perception to casually incorporate 4K images into the space like materials and scenery, and the ceiling height control and lighting technology are used to create a skylight effect, giving the space a sense of spaciousness, creating a space that is "comfortable for lively conversation." Since many VIPs and state guests from Japan and abroad visit the space, elements of ice-breaking are used throughout, such as a ceiling design inspired by Japanese culture, origata, images that evoke dry landscape gardens, and Japanese fragrances. In addition, the hand-drawn patent application documents that contain the founder's thoughts were turned into artwork and placed on the wall behind the seat of honor, giving the space a soul. By linking with the lighting control, the scene can be switched for various purposes, such as modes for welcoming guests, dining, and meetings using multiple screens. Panasonic's cutting-edge technology was used throughout the project, but by being thorough about the subtle expression, we were able to create a calm atmosphere overall, and build a space that combines innovation and quality. <Our project members> [Sales/Project Management] Yamazaki Kei [Direction] Yamaguchi Akane [concept design] Shimizu Shigemi, Tani Seiho [Production/ construction] Furuichi Hiromitsu, Kumazawa Yuta

Head Office of Xcom Global, which has strengths in providing communication environments, including mobile internet for those traveling abroad. Mobile communication services create various relationships around the world, connecting people with each other and people with events. The chain of individual communications that transcends countries and generations eventually creates a global movement or spins into one large entity, reminiscent of a "forest" where the activities and connections of various living things give rise to the spread of more life. The infinite connections and possibilities that Xcom Global's business brings to the world are superimposed on the state of a rich forest, and concept design theme is the natural formations there, the memories of the forest's growth, and the beautiful appearance that changes with the time. For the walls, panels with a motif of overlapping silhouettes of trees are concept design as an element symbolizing the forest landscape, and the space is covered with them. The sunlight during the day and the lights after sunset cast soft shadows on the floor and walls through the openings in the panels, giving the impression of sunlight filtering through the trees, creating a forest-like scene even though it is located inside a high-rise building in Shibuya. The impressive tables and drink counters are concept design with the motif of tree rings as a memory of the growth of the forest. The curved metal plates are offset in a concentric pattern and assembled, with the tops made of transparent acrylic so that the structure can be seen. The layout plan divides the space into two areas: a reception area for welcoming visitors and a meeting area for business negotiations. Under the above concept design theme, we have devised ways to block the view and create transparency appropriate for each scene. [Client's Issues/Requests] We received a request to concept design a reception space and a business negotiation space with an atmosphere like that of a luxury hotel lobby. <Our project members> [Sales/Project Management] Kazushige Ishii, Kaori Murakami [design, layout] Yoshihiro Kitamura [Production/ construction] Ikuo Chikaishi, Tetsuji Koike, Takuya Kagawa

The food court at the Shanghai World Financial Center (SWFC), a landmark skyscraper in Shanghai, China, will be transformed into a relaxing place surrounded by "light" and "greenery" that supports food, work and interaction among office workers. We were in charge of concept design and schematic design at NOMURA Co.,Ltd. and working drawings and construction at NOMURA (Beijing) Co., Ltd. as the food court of Shanghai World Financial Center (SWFC), a landmark skyscraper in Shanghai, China, as a relaxing place surrounded by "light" and "greenery" that supports food, work and interaction among office workers. The "Food Garden" is a food court with 12 restaurants on the second basement floor of SWFC, a landmark in Shanghai, providing daily food support to more than 10,000 office workers, a place for office workers to relax, and an event space and meeting rooms for seminars and social gatherings. The space was required to add value to the building by providing daily food support for over 10,000 office workers, as well as a place for office workers to relax, and an event space and conference room for seminars and social gatherings. The louvers were designed to visualize the "light" coming in from the ground and to create a series of scenes of "greenery" creeping up toward the light. The event space and meeting rooms (catering available from the food court) were planned as an integrated unit to attract customers even after peak lunch hours. <Our project members> Design: NOMURA Co.,Ltd.

This is a project to completely renovate 3 floors of Roppongi Head Office Mori Tower where GREE's Roppongi Hills is located. It took more than two years after the project was conceived, and construction was carried out in multiple phases. The concept of this project is "Disseminating Green's manufacturing". Head Office was established in the Roppongi Hills Mori Tower for about nine years, and we have come back to our roots and expressed our passion for manufacturing in the office space. We created the entrance, lounge, café, Future Labo's interiors and fixtures while valuing the feeling of materials to express the image of creating high quality products in the space that many workers spend, which supports the three pillars of GREE's game business, advertising and media business, and live entertainment business. Project members, including customers, actually worked on construction fixtures at the site, creating a space filled with the spirit of manufacturing. D Sign Co., Ltd. was in charge of overall project management and Puddle Co., Ltd. was in charge of concept design design. [Customer Comments] In the new space that NOMURA Co.,Ltd. has worked on, the number of events has increased approximately four times compared to before the renovation, and the number of visitors is on the rise, and our company office is returning to life. We have a space and fixtures that are carefully designed to detail, so we can welcome guests with confidence. < our company Project Members > [Sales/Project Management] Kaori Murakami, Shuichi Sakashita [Production/construction] Naoto Tominaga

A place in the community where people can say "Hey!" and connect with "people", "lifestyle" and "town". We proposed opening the condominium sales center to the community so that local residents and new residents who will live in the condominium can get to know each other. For local residents, this would allow them to have a positive attitude towards the huge apartment complex that is about to be built, and they would be able to experience the atmosphere of the future residents even before it is completed, while also creating a comfortable place for potential buyers. [Customer's Issues/Requests] Early integration between new residents of the condominium and the community is a major issue. Given this social background, this project began with the idea that a sales center should be a place that can serve as a starting point for the local community and is suitable for such requests. [Solution] We planned the sales center based on a "traditional Japanese house" so that it would function as a "place" where local residents can drop in and interact with each other casually as a starting point for the local community, connecting "people who already live" and "people who will live in the future" in the area. The "doma" connects the exterior and interior spaces, the "living room" is a place where users can converse, and the "veranda" is a space where local people can casually talk to each other. These concept design make the local community visible and provide updates on daily life. [Customer feedback] We believe that this project was made possible thanks to your company's teamwork, as you cooperated in many aspects, from concept creation, planning, introducing the operator, design, and construction. We are very grateful. <Our project members> [Sales and project management] Watanabe Shinpei, Utsugi Yuri [Planning] Miyazaki Shoko, Sugimoto Taku [design, layout] Onishi Ryo, Koshizen Hiroaki, Omoto Kenta [Production and construction] Wakasugi Soji Photography: Kono Masato, Nacasa & Partners Co., Ltd.

A renovation project for Bosch Corporation's Shibuya Head Office. We were in charge of planning, design, layout, and construction to renovate one floor on the 10th floor into a communication space. From our experience of renovating the 4th floor of our Head Office building into a communication space "RE/SP", we thought it was important to create a mechanism for employees to interact. Based on the concept of "SCRAMBLE for MEET UP" (people gather, hatch new ideas, and then take off again), we designed it with the aim of creating a place where diverse employees can gather and interact on a daily basis. In order to express the mix through encounters and exchanges, just like in Shibuya, where Bosch's Head Office is located, we collaborated with various artists to create a space that allows people to interact with an open concept design. We also participated in the creation phase, such as logo concept design and event planning and management. [Customer's challenge/theme] We were asked to concept design a place where employees could interact from a different perspective than the office floor, with the aim of revitalizing communication within the company and creating innovation. [Solution] We proposed a spatial configuration that would allow each employee to regain their vitality and deepen their connections. Specifically, with the aim of creating opportunities for communication that transcends age and departmental boundaries, the area has been divided into six major functions, including a counter where people can have casual conversations over a cup of coffee, a place to sit and relax on sofas, and a space to move around and refresh. By proactively incorporating furniture and art that will spark communication, we also aimed to create a place where spontaneous ideas that are difficult to generate in office areas can be born. There is also a product displays that allows people to experience Bosch's DNA, making it a place that provides hints for creating innovation. <Our project members> [Sales and project management] Ishii Kazushige, Murakami Kaori, Shishihori Tomoyo [design, layout] Yamanobe Manabu, Hagiwara Mitsutaka [Planning] Masubuch Kenta [Production and construction] Koike Tetsuji

With the theme of "building bonds with customers," elements actually used at the logistics sites supported by Hino Motors, such as truck frames and cargo, were reproduced and applied to the interior. Long-term relationships with customers are Hino Motors' most important business, and this was the message they most wanted to convey to customers and employees. The space is filled with elements that only customers and Hino Motors employees would notice, allowing one to intuitively feel the atmosphere of a logistics site from every angle, while at the same time reaffirming the bond of co-creation between the two parties as they grow through their truck products. <Our project members> [Sales and project management] Yamamoto Izumiichiro [Direction] Yoshinaga Mitsuhide [concept design] Takeda Shinpei [Sign and graphic concept design] Takeda Shinpei [Production and construction] Katsura Ryuichiro, Kawabata Toshiaki

NSK MUSEUM is a B2B showroom for Nakanishi Corporation, which manufactures medical device handpieces used by dentists. displays concept is "dissection."
