The entrance, lobby, guest rooms, restaurant, cafe, courtyard, and hot spring facilities were renovated with concept design concept of "A unique resort where you can experience the beauty of Setouchi and coexistence with nature" and the hotel was reborn as a new resort hotel. The hotel can be used by people of all ages for a variety of occasions, with rooms overlooking the beautiful islands of the Seto Inland Sea and a cafe where you can enjoy sweets that are only available at the facility.

This is a renovation project for the Courtyard Marriott Ginza Tobu Hotel. As a turning point since its opening, this project aims to evolve the hotel into a new one, including improving comfort and planning distinctive hotel restaurants. The plan is to maintain the hotel's appeal as a full-service hotel with accommodation, banquet, and restaurant functions, while capturing the inbound demand that will recover after COVID-19, and to upgrade both its functionality and concept design. For the first time since its opening, the entire hotel was closed and a major renovation was carried out. The renovation was based on the concept of "GINZA CONTRAST," and the duality of Ginza's unique charm is that it is "a town with a glamorous and royal feel for enjoying special occasions such as sightseeing, theater, and shopping," and "a town with the benefits of being used as a matter of course that fits into your daily life and accompanies your life." While valuing the combination of both, we proposed a new way to enjoy and spend time at the hotel, where visitors can freely and easily move between "work" and "play," "friends" and "yourself," and "travel" and "life," without clearly separating them. Our company was responsible for restaurant development, tenant leasing, interiors design and design supervision for the guest rooms, restaurant and bar, as well as interiors construction.

The Oiwake area, located on the west side of Karuizawa, is popular for its bright and open atmosphere with the Mikage Waterway flowing slowly, unlike the atmosphere of the old summer resort of Old Karuizawa. The main residence is a one-story villa standing along the irrigation canal overlooking Mt. Asama. The owner, who enjoys skiing, built it as a ski house to use with friends in the winter, and since the owner likes natural stone, we sought a way to use stone that would be suitable for a villa. Since people spend a long time in a house, we thought about how to use the stone in a way that would increase the resolution of the space over time and suddenly notice the different expressions and charms of the natural stone, rather than attracting attention with luxury or decoration. The most symbolic space is the kitchen, which combines two natural stones. When you go through the corridor from the entrance hall, you will be greeted by a dynamic kitchen in front of you. There is no dining table, and by integrating the counter and dining table, the kitchen stands out and becomes a symbolic presence like a stage among the living room, dining room, and kitchen.

Our company has been involved in the creation of spaces for many of the company's brands, such as "Hoshinoya," "Kai," and "OMO," and has been involved in this facility from the concept stage. We were responsible for everything from formulating the spatial concept that is the axis of branding to art direction, design, layout, and construction.

We assisted from the basic concept stage and were in charge of planning the common areas. The nearby Harumi Pier is a special place visited by ships from all over the world, as it is the gateway to Tokyo's ocean, and is a place where luxury cruise ships from Japan and overseas call. Inspired by the characteristics of this area, we concept design a space with a cruise ship image for "Home Clair", a cultural school opened within this property. The space used for the cultural school, called "Clair Hall", was inspired by the diverse cultures brought by ships from all over the world, and we created mechanisms to serve as a starting point for activities through "culture", such as a culture wall hung with records from multiple generations and cultures and a movable stage that can accommodate various activities. The lounge for residents, called "Clair Lounge", is a special space where residents can relax while enjoying board games and light meals by conceptually incorporating the Art Deco concept design used in the 1920s, when cruise ship voyages were popular.

The lively open kitchen has been upgraded as a "show kitchen," and the restaurant has been reborn as an open modern living and dining room with a large roof, with the kitchen at its center. The imposing pillars supporting the high ceiling give off a calm, woody warmth. The pendant lights, chandeliers and brackets hanging from the ceiling emit warm light, creating a comfortable atmosphere like a home that always welcomes you.

This is a project to convert the former Horibe family residence, a former cotton wholesaler, into a work facility located in Yorozumachi Arcade, the central urban area of Shimabara City, Nagasaki Prefecture. Shimabara City is a "city of water" that has been designated as one of Japan's top 100 waters, and the abundant spring water from the Unzen Mountains that flows throughout the city is essential to the lives of its citizens. The former Horibe family residence, built in 1848, draws this spring water into its grounds, giving the building a unique atmosphere where you can hear the quiet sound of water in the garden and indoors. The design policy is to take advantage of the building's characteristics, which are familiar to local citizens, and its location in the city center, to become a "town front" for Shimabara citizens, businessmen, tourists, and everyone, and to revitalize the city center. We aimed to create a facility that would contribute to the promotion of multi-generational citizen exchange.
