Located near Shijo Omiya in Kyoto, this project renovated an entire alley lined with townhouses built over 110 years ago into an inn. Passing through the reception building, you will find 23 guest rooms, a warehouse, and a restaurant building lined up along the stone-paved alley, creating a gorgeous view reminiscent of the entertainment district of the Edo period. There are five types of guest rooms, all themed on the natural beauty of Kyoto, allowing you to experience the charm of the region in both tangible and intangible culture. The restaurant building in the center of the alley houses a Japanese beef restaurant, making it a unique space that promotes Japanese culture, including food, to the world. The site is approximately 1,400 m2 and includes 26 wooden buildings, making this the largest renovation project in Kyoto's history, attracting attention from Kyoto City.

This project renovated a samurai residence that is over 140 years old in the castle town of Obi Castle in Nichinan City, Miyazaki Prefecture, into a tourist hub and hot spring inn for the town. Each of the five guest rooms was concept design based on the local characteristics, and was composed of the town's color "honmurasaki," "cedar" that supports the industry, "tea tree" that is planted in the hedges, "orange" that is a citrus fruit of the city, and "moss" that is important to the town's landscape. This project was carried out using a subsidy from the "Shopping District Revitalization and Tourism Consumption Creation Project," and our company participated in a wide range of projects, from hard to soft aspects, such as producing cards and maps to encourage people to travel around the area and local shops as a tourist hub, developing cooking experiences, and installing new lanterns as street lights starting from Honjuku. It has been reborn as a central presence in future urban development.

"A funeral hall that is close to the community" This is a funeral hall in Mitaka, Tokyo, by Memoryd Co., Ltd., which provides life support services including ceremonial occasions. We were in charge of everything from architecture to interiors design, layout construction. It is a facility for holding a full funeral ceremony, consisting of two halls, a purification hall, a mortuary room, a bathing room, a waiting room, and a space for the funeral procession and parking. In response to the green and pleasant living environment in the surrounding area, the concept was "a funeral hall that resonates with the town," "a mansion-like appearance with textured finishes," and "a welcoming space that continues from the outside to the inside." The space is low-rise and has green spaces, while the pilotis and openings welcome the local community, nature, and light, creating a spatial composition that blends in with the surrounding environment. In addition, the pilotis connects to the first floor entrance, and the stairs connects to the second floor foyer, drawing in light from the second floor to the first floor, creating a space that makes the exterior space seem continuous with the interior. interiors and FF&E were concept design with the concept of "an organic space that envelops precious time with the deceased" and with a calm and gentle impression that gently envelops the time that has been woven and accumulated. At the same time, we aimed to create a funeral hall that is close to the community, both in terms of hardware and software, while complying with Mitaka City regulations and neighborhood explanations. [Social issues / Customer issues / Requests] As it will be a funeral hall in a residential area, we were asked to consistently consider the neighborhood in both hardware and software. In addition, wakes and funerals are rarely held over two days these days, and one-day funerals and family funerals are the norm. In addition, the number of attendees is limited due to the effects of COVID-19, so we were asked to concept design a space that can accommodate a short period of time and a small number of people. [Solution] In consideration of the neighborhood, we reduced the feeling of oppression by creating a low-rise building with a setback* from the road and green spaces, and by creating an appearance like a mansion with a textured finish, we minimized the image of a funeral hall as much as possible, while creating concept design that blends in with the surrounding residential environment. The pilotis on the first floor is a space that is softly partitioned while blocking the view with wire greenery and louvers, and is not hidden by walls, but is open to the surrounding environment. The facility's activities can be felt and it is a space that can be easily entered during events, so it was planned as a facility that is recognized and understood by local residents. At the same time, we aimed to create a "funeral hall that is close to the community" in terms of both hardware and software, while complying with Mitaka City regulations and neighborhood explanations. As a space concept design for short periods of time and small numbers of people, we focused on functionality and avoided a space that lacks warmth, and created a calm and gentle space by using organic finishes for interiors and FF&E. *: Setback means that a building is built with a certain distance from the boundary line of the land. <Our project members> [Sales and project management] Hironari Sakimoto [design, layout] NAU: Yoichi Kawakami, Norio Koito, Wataru Sugimoto, Akane Watanabe / Kei Matsuzawa [Sign] Tomomi Ito [Production and construction] Keita Ide, Ryota Sakurai

W Osaka was developed by Sekisui House and operated by Marriott International. It is a luxury lifestyle hotel with 337 guest rooms, 27 floors above ground and 1 basement, 117.34 meters high. The construction site is located along Midosuji Street in 4-chome, Minamisenba, Chuo Ward, Osaka City. It was designed by Nikken Sekkei and design supervision by Tadao ANDO. Interior concept design is concrete. our company was in charge of interiors's production construction. One of the brands developed by Marriott International, the luxury lifestyle hotel "W," which was established in New York in 1998, has made its debut in Japan. [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] On the other hand, concept design is gorgeous, but the ceiling and walls are all three-dimensional, making the construction and construction extremely difficult. [Solution] In order to realize the wishes of the business owner and the designer, all concerned parties worked together to pursue quality in every detail, and the construction was successfully completed. [Customer's Comment] Thank you for completing the high quality construction work in a short period of time in the low floor where various kinds of construction work are complicated. < our company Project Member > [Sales/Project Management] Moriya Sakata [Production/construction] Takashi Okuno, Yuji Hirayama, Akiko Yamaguchi, Seinori Ueno, Rikito Maruchi, Kosuke Nakaseko [Design] Kazuhiko Ueda, Hideyuki Sanada

This is a plan for an urban tourist hotel set in Susukino, Sapporo. Susukino, a downtown area that represents Sapporo, is filled with the charm of "food" from all over Hokkaido, overflowing with delicious happiness, and aimed to create a lobby space that stimulates your appetite. We created a space and experience with motifs related to food, such as a signboard wall of a fictitious store with the motif of the Susukino entertainment district, and a neighborhood map that imitates a wooden box for shipping seafood.

"OMO5 Kyoto Sanjo" has opened on Kyoto Sanjo Street, where Kyoto is packed with fun things to see, buy, and eat. As a mechanism to fully enjoy "Kyoto Sanjo", there is a townhouse tower that conveys the history of Takasegawa and information on shops, a town walking map that allows you to enjoy two different courses along the Takasegawa and Sanjo retro town, and a walking map around Sanjo. In the lobby, we have set up content that leads to walking around Sanjo, such as an artwork with the letter "San" lined up with old maps from three different eras, and an art panel frottage of Sanjo no Michi. In addition, in the renovation of the guest room, we have created a small rise where suitcases can be stored, and have devised ways to use the space widely by consolidating the bed and sofa areas.

HERALBONY Co., Ltd. is a company that defines art drawn by artists with intellectual disabilities as "unique" and applies it to various things, events, and places in society. In collaboration with Hyatt Centric Ginza Tokyo, located on Namiki-dori in Ginza, we cooperated in concept design and construction of guest rooms. [Social issues / Customer issues / Requests] HERALBONY's fashion brand "HERALBONY" has a vision to dissolve the invisible boundaries between "welfare" and "disabilities," which are difficult to relate to in everyday life, and consumers, and to expand its field as a "lifestyle brand" to create a new lifestyle based on welfare. This time, we directed concept design of the collaboration room as the first step in the lifestyle brand's coloring of the space. Not only did we decorate the hotel guest rooms, but we also used this space as a starting point to create an opportunity for art to blend into everyday lifestyles. [Solution] We wove together a space that allows guests to experience a rich time in their guest rooms, as if they were immersed in an ever-expanding world of art. This makes the guest room a hub for the experience, inviting guests to imagine stories in which art blends into the time spent at home. We envisioned a space in which many conversations and discoveries would be sparked as guests looked at the art that was integrated throughout the hotel. <Our project members> [Sales and project management] Uedate Chisato [concept design] Yamaguchi Akane, Onishi Ryo, Yoshimura Mineto, Kato Kei [Production and construction] Hatano Atsushi, Yoshida Risa, Oda Satoshi ~Related links~ [Release] ・ NOMURA, Ltd. cooperates in spatial concept design.

In 1991, exactly 30 years ago, River City 21 East Towers was completed as a pioneer of Tokyo waterfront development and a prototype of tower-type high-rise apartment buildings with an emphasis on views. The building is located in Tsukuda 2-chome, Chuo-ku, and although the nearest station is Tsukishima Station, it is an excellent location with smooth access from Tokyo Station and Ginza Station, and is an area with a diverse range of residents. During the Edo period, it was also called Ishikawajima, and in the modern cityscape, you can feel the Showa era history everywhere, such as Tsukishima's unique food culture and shopping streets with a downtown atmosphere, and a unique culture has been formed within the city. This project was planned with the aim of extensively renovating the group of apartment buildings (4 buildings), including the public open space, to welcome new residents and increase the asset value. [Solution] In order to solve the client's problem, we proposed a new concept of "1.5 Place," which is to create a 2nd Place function and a 3rd Place time around the 1st Place, which is the client's home. In addition, by conducting and analyzing a survey of residents, we were able to confirm that there was no discrepancy in the direction of the new rooms and spatial functions and concept design. In particular, to meet the requests of residents that were made clear through the survey analysis, we planned not only to improve the functionality of the entrance, meeting rooms, and lounges, but also to create a co-working space that assumes various ways of living, working, and gathering, and a place where communication can occur. This created a "highly social and altruistic space" and a "space whose value increases over time," which led to increased satisfaction among residents and the realization of new appeal. We also proposed a perspective on the SDGs, and not only solved the sustainable economic and social aspects that are generally discussed, but also took into consideration the living environment such as tradition, culture, and climate by understanding the location and user perspective of this project, and gave meaning to concept design concept and materials, realizing a way that was suitable for this property. In realizing these solutions, each section of our company worked together as a trinity, and by making sure to utilize design, layout planning, research, promotion, and construction capabilities, we were able to respond quickly and accurately to the customer's requests. <Our project members> [Development] Takuya Kitai, Kayu Tatsumi [Sales and project promotion] Kayu Tatsumi, Midori Nakayabu [Research and analysis] Sayuri Murata, Ai Ichikawa [General direction] no.10: Keita Aono [design, layout] no.10: Naoaki Yokoyama, Gen Tomita, Mayu Araki, Asuka Tomioka [Sign and graphic direction] no.10: Asuka Tomioka [Product management] Manabu Fukuda, Takashi Arai [Equipment design] Takaya Ota [Production, construction and site supervision] Takashi Arai, Katsumi Chikada, Kyosuke Sasa

This project is the culmination project of "With an exclusive area of more than 100m2 in the heart of Tokyo, a brand that focuses on location and asset value and offers essential lifestyle through renovation."= "R 100 TOKYO" developed by Rivita. our company provided construction support for the renovation of Opas Arisugawa, a residence representing Tokyo with an exclusive area of approximately 198m2, which was created by OEO Studio, a Danish concept design company, in concept design. Based on the concepts of "CROSS-CULTURAL" and "COMPELLING MINIMALISM," this concept design living space incorporates new proposals based on the sensibilities common to Scandinavia and Japan. By using a lot of natural materials, such as solid wood, which develops its flavor the more you use it, the longer you live in it, the more blessings it will bring to your life. This new housing is a realization of the "value housing 100 years into the future" that "R 100 TOKYO" aims for. [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] In the recent high-end residential market in central Tokyo, there is a growing demand for homes with unique values that are not limited to conventional values such as real estate prices and housing functions. Among the projects of Ribita, which aim to "We will continue to create the next common sense in order to restore the value of Japanese housing and real estate and leave it for the future," this project, which emphasizes natural materials and traditional construction methods, was an issue in terms of whether it can be established as a housing performance. [Solution] We had a number of meetings to promote the use of natural materials and handicrafts in the living space, taking into account housing performance, such as a wide variety of stone, plasterer, solid wood, han-zukuri, and ceramic tile. The solid wood kitchens of Garde Hvalsøe (read: Garde Vels), a Danish kitchen workshop that was the first in Japan to be installed in an ordinary house, have a great significance in the living space. Since there is no solid wood kitchen to replace them, our company's Global Division imported them from Denmark. [Customer's Voice] Thanks to your high level of technical and managerial skills, such as proposing solutions for difficult construction, precision of detail, and adherence to the construction schedule, we were able to not only go ahead with the overall schedule, but also create a wonderful space that understood the designer's intention. < our company Project Members > [Project Management] Masahiro Harada [Product Direction] Mikiya Fujitaka [Global Supply] Daiyuki Nakagome

As a hotel that introduces "Kyoto Toji Temple" in an easy-to-understand manner that cannot be fully enjoyed in a one-time sightseeing trip, the little-known Buddha statue mandala is illustrated, and you can walk around the city freely opening and closing while comparing the old and the modern. In the lobby, we installed a map, a large table where you can copy sutras with sand, and a wall artwork of Buddha smiling with a motion sensor. In addition, the full-size pillar with a motif of a five-storied pagoda was used as a bookshelf to impart wisdom because the actual central pillar itself is a mandala.

Hotel Okura Kyoto Okazaki Bettei, the first Hotel Okura brand in Japan in about 20 years, opened on January 20, 2022. Our spatial concept design team "RENS" provided the overall direction of the interior and was responsible for the interiors construction and FF&E construction. Kyoto is home to many world-renowned traditional crafts created by artisans using techniques that have been passed down since ancient times. We have created a hotel that connects these traditional crafts to the future and allows you to feel their further potential. In collaboration with "GO ON," a project unit consisting of six successors of Kyoto's traditional crafts, we have created a small, luxurious space filled with new crafts. This hotel is reminiscent of an adult hideaway and offers a tranquil moment, allowing you to enjoy a soothing stay in the beauty of modern Kyoto.

The former Suzuki residence, a large mansion consisting of a main house and three storehouses in the Toi district of Nishiizu, has been loved as a central presence in the area since the Edo period. With the "value of spending time with ancient beauty" in mind, we renovated each building and exterior structure to create an auberge with two accommodation rooms. The main house's closed-in layout was revised to expand the space up, down, left and right to ensure modern comfort. We wanted to preserve the atmosphere of the past by taking advantage of the spatial individuality of each of the three storehouses and adding minimal concept design, so we renovated two of them into accommodation buildings with luxurious outdoor open-air baths, and one of them functions as a lounge and spa. By combining it with the surrounding accommodation facilities, we have realized an auberge that blends into the local community and is loved by everyone. [Social issues / Customer issues / Requests] Toi has long been popular as a hot spring inn town, but there is a small variety of restaurants, and there are no cafes that serve as tourist bases or tourist content that makes use of Nishiizu's food resources, so the lack of tourist spending by tourists has been a long-standing issue. The company's request was that the development of this facility should not be prioritized for profitability, but rather for it to be beneficial to the region, and that it should be accepted and loved by tourists and local residents alike. [Solution] We felt that we needed to respect the time that the buildings had accumulated on this land, find the unique character of each building, and create concept design that could transform it into an attractive feature. We reviewed the layout while taking into consideration the structural burden of the existing unsuitable buildings, and respected the unique character of each building, such as the deep trusswork of the main building, the roughly painted plastered walls of the first storehouse, which served as a lounge, the dynamic one-room space of the second storehouse, and the vertical expanse of the second storehouse with its clay walls hidden behind the wooden walls. By respecting the unique character of each building, it became the very charm of each facility. [Customer's comments] As a result of the extremely high-quality concept design and construction techniques used to renovate the former Suzuki residence, which represents the history of Toi, in a short delivery period, not only tourists who come to "LOQUAT Nishiizu" but also local residents visit the facility almost every day, and it has become a place of relaxation that provides a little richness in their daily lives. Not only the accommodation building, but also the restaurant, bakery and gelateria are busy and full to capacity every day. <Our project members> [Sales/Project Management] Shinya Hiratsuka, Nobuyuki Yagi [Planning] Saki Ninomiya [design, layout] Norio Koito, Hiroshi Inoue, Tadahiro Nakajima, Ryotaro Tezuka [Production/ construction] Jun Endo, Takayuki Inoue, Nohara Kikuchi

"Park Wellstate" by Mitsui Fudosan Residential is a senior service residence that aims to allow mature, active seniors with diverse values to live a new stage of life in a more free and rich way, in their own way. "Park Wellstate Kamogawa", the second property following "Park Wellstate Hamadayama", was built in Kamogawa City, Chiba Prefecture, and is a 22-story building with approximately 470 units. It is a high-value-added facility that has partnered with the medical corporation that runs Kameda General Hospital in the same city and has leisure functions within the facility. Our company was in charge of the lobby and reception in the common area, the promenade, the club lounge, the restaurant, etc. [Social issues / Customer issues / Requests] The land where this project was built, Kamogawa, was originally a hilly area covered with forests with a rich ecosystem. In the 1990s, it was used as a quarry, and the trees were cut down, leaving the rock surface exposed, and the natural environment was lost. From the viewpoint that the natural environment is the foundation of a healthy and rich life and improves the quality of life for seniors, the aim was to create a home where the senior residents can spend a rich time and live a rich life while restoring nature. [Solution] To solve the problem, the interior space was finished with light-toned white sycamore veneer to create a warm shared space. The height of the built-in washbasin was set lower than usual to suit the seniors, and the corners and edges were chamfered with a radius. The floor finishing was narrowed to avoid creating steps in the stone veneer, carpet, and flooring, and the joint width was narrowed to prevent people from tripping on steps, concept design a safe and friendly environment for seniors. The artwork was also selected based on the former quarry site and the Kamo River, and local crushed stone was used, and artwork expressing the charm of the Kamo River was installed to allow people to feel the local climate and culture. <Our project members> [Sales and project management] Naoki Murata [design, layout] Common area concept design and supervision: Michio Matsuzaki / Artwork coordination: Misa Sanjoba, Wataru Tajiri [Production and construction] Masato Takeuchi, Shusuke Hoshino, Keiichi Yamazaki, Shogo Yasunaga

This project involved converting the old Kiyomizu Elementary School building, which has a history of about 90 years and remains in Kiyomizu, Kyoto, into a hotel. It has been reborn as a hotel that combines modern comfort while retaining its distinctive design. We were in charge of architectural design supervision, interiors design, layout, and FF&E concept design and construction. Kiyomizu Elementary School is one of the schools that has been evaluated as a unique building with unique features in its location, exterior decoration, and interiors concept design. Based on the hotel's concept of "engraving memories and connecting them to the future," we paid the utmost respect to the historical Western architecture and its interior space, and concept design to revive memories while preserving and inheriting them. In addition, we fused the architecture and interior space as new functions to express nostalgia and newness. [Client's Issues/Requests] It was necessary to design it so that it would function as a hotel while making use of the architecture of the existing historic elementary school. We also had to have repeated discussions about what kind of hotel would be acceptable to the Kyoto area. [Solution] We worked with creators on every detail, including architecture, landscape, interior, FF&E, artwork, graphics, and uniforms, to create a completely new and unique space. While the corridors and staircases where elementary school children once ran around have been preserved, when you open the doors to the classrooms where the children once studied, you will enter a completely different contemporary world. In order to maximize the value of the existing details that are valuable in the history of the architecture and interior space, we stuck to materials that do not overshadow but highlight them. The reflection of the materials reflected in the semi-gloss finish enhances the existing architectural design. We aimed to create a spatial composition with a "seeming" that can only be experienced here, by coordinating the total design of concept design, graphics, uniforms, etc., and harmonizing the interiors and FF&E concept design in a well-balanced way. <Our project members> [Sales/Project management] Toru Moenuki [design, layout / design supervision] A.N.D.: Ryu Kosaka, Shohei Urata, Hiroki Yasuda / Hiroyuki Nishikawa [FF&E concept design] A.N.D.: Kaori Sano

For humans, whose natural state is life on land, spending long periods at sea is stressful both physically and mentally. To achieve this balance, the design proactively incorporates land-based elements that contrast with sea-based elements, such as the "vertical" of plants that grow vertically against the "horizontal" nature of the ocean surface, the "straight" of buildings and windows against the "curves" of waves and fish, and the "heavy" nature of trees and rocks against the "floating" nature of ships and bubbles. For the exterior, the shop name has been disassembled and reconstructed, and Japanese patterns reminiscent of lanterns and kumiki joinery are depicted. <Our project members> [Sales/Project concept design] Fujime Ryo, Suda Keita [concept design /Basic Plan] no.10: Aono Keita, Suzuki Shohei [schematic design / working drawings / interior administration] no.10: Suzuki Shohei
