A storehouse in the samurai residences of Kakunodate, Akita Prefecture has been renovated into a lodging facility. The concept is "KURA STAY," and the hotel is a cultural experience hotel where the lifestyle of the time has been preserved in the storehouse. The hotel consists of three storehouses, the "Bushigura," the "Gakkogura," and the "Tamonogura," for rent. The space incorporates Kakunodate's traditional crafts of birch crafts and Iburi-gakko production scenes, textile art such as plant dyeing, and samurai family crests, providing a local cultural experience throughout the stay. In addition, decorations have been provided in cooperation with local shops, and information is provided within the facility, which also serves as a tourist hub to encourage travel.

This is the first MUJI HOTEL project in Japan, which is based on the concept of "anti-gorgeous, anti-cheap." In a building with a total floor space of over 9,000 m2, the flagship store "MUJI Ginza" is located from the basement to the 6th floor, and "MUJI HOTEL GINZA" is located from the 6th to 10th floors, making it a global flagship store where the world of MUJI is gathered together. Our company was in charge of construction of ATELIER MUJI GINZA on the 6th floor and the hotel lobby and restaurant of MUJI HOTEL GINZA. <Customer's request> In order to embody the world view that Ryohin Keikaku has accumulated so far and the designer's thoughts, it took a lot of time to select interiors materials and decide on the plan. As a construction company, we understood the idea, but our challenge and the customer's request was to deliver within the predetermined period. <Solution> In order to achieve the maximum results within the limited time, we had countless meetings with UDS and aimed to materialize it. Although it was a "request" to complete the project within the time frame, it was a project that could only be accomplished thanks to the cooperation of Muji and UDS. <Our project members> [Sales/Project Management] Kawagishi Taisuke [Production/ construction] Wakasugi Soji, Hamabe Yoshito, Higashiyamazaki Naoto, Kawai Yuna, Sakaki Ryohei

Based on the concept of "Road to Wazuka," a place that makes you want to visit Wazuka-cho, a famous tea producing area located an hour from Kyoto City, we renovated a Kyoto machiya townhouse that is over 70 years old and located within a 10-minute drive from Kyoto Station into a rental accommodation facility. Our company participated in the townhouse renovation from the planning stage and was in charge of spatial production. We are challenging ourselves with a new spatial attempt to "send customers from the city center to the countryside," and each method used to achieve this ultimately became a differentiating factor from other Kyoto machiya accommodation facilities. This opening project was carried out by a team consisting of "NAZUNA," which operates the accommodation using the townhouse, "Kiraku Japan," which supports the financial aspects of old house renovation, "Crowd Realty," which provides real estate crowdfunding, and our company, which handles planning and concept design. In addition, the start-up funds were raised through crowdfunding. Individual investors and participating companies who sympathize with the concept of "Road to Wazuka," want to contribute to the town, and want to make Japanese culture known to the world, are working together to solve local issues. <Our project members> [Space production] Yasutoshi Yamano [concept design (interiors)] Takaaki Tani [Furniture and decoration coordination] Saki Ninomiya [Development] Nobuyuki Yagi [Sales] Yuji Takataka [Customer's issues/requests] (1) We want to renovate the Kyomachiya into a lodging facility mainly targeting foreign tourists. (2) We want to make a story-based concept that is different from the many Kyomachiya in the city. (3) The owner of a cafe that serves Wazuka tea on the same premises wants to promote the charm of Wazuka-cho. [Solution] We have prepared a mechanism within the facility that will make you want to visit Wazuka-cho. The rock and dry landscape bedroom, which is based on the scenery of Wazuka-cho, gives you the experience of sleeping on the earth of Wazuka-cho. The tea stand on the second floor was created by remaking a tea box used in Wazuka-cho, and you can touch the real thing. The wall graphics on the second floor are based on the pattern that was affixed to the wooden boxes used to export tea from Wazuka-cho overseas at the time, and the fabric is Nishijin-ori from Kyoto. The lighting in the atrium space is also made from the blackout sheeting used in the process of producing kabuse tea in Wazuka-cho. The space was designed as an "accommodation antenna shop that fosters motivation to visit unseen and attractive places." In addition, we prepared illustrated instructions to convey the mechanisms incorporated in the space to guests, and even created software to help them understand how to experience it. [Customer feedback] We feel that the concept and high level of concept design proposed by NOMURA resonated with the investors in this project, leading to the realization of an unprecedented lodging facility.

i+Land Nagasaki is an entertainment resort that opened in July 2018, occupying the entire island. Located on Iojima Island in Nagasaki Prefecture (area: 2.26 km2, population 879), the hotel with 103 existing guest rooms, hot springs, and restaurant have been renovated, and an additional 120 cottages have been built. In addition, the landscape, night entertainment, and signage plan for the entire island were revised. This is a project in which we were responsible for the overall concept design direction, including architecture, interiors, and landscaping. <Our project members> [Sales/Project Management] Shima Keita [Direction] Onishi Ryo [concept design] Suzuki Yoko, Kaneko Fumihiko, Omoto Kenta, Ogawa Kohei, Oikawa Hi

Hoshino Resorts' new business model, a hotel specialized in urban tourism, "OMO" was born in the spring of 2018. The first hotel to be operated, "OMO7 Asahikawa", was a rebranding project of a long-established local hotel. The brand concept is "an urban tourism hotel that doesn't just end with sleeping, but raises the excitement of your trip". We proposed a new communication concept design in the hotel market by sprinkling various playful gimmicks in the space that further draw out the appeal of the service content that connects travelers and locals and makes walking around the city more enjoyable.

[Project Description] This project involves converting an old house located in Obi, Nichinan City, Miyazaki Prefecture, into a lodging facility. Obi was designated as the first Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings in Kyushu and Okinawa in 1977, and is an area lined with buildings with a sense of unity. Therefore, the exterior design needed to be renovated with the premise of harmonizing with the scenery from the perspective of preservation. Therefore, we aimed to create a facility that attracts many visitors by creating distinctive interior designs and furniture and decorations with a high degree of concept design freedom. In addition, Nichinan City and NOMURA signed a comprehensive cooperation agreement on January 28, 2017 to realize urban development in line with Nichinan City's concept of "creators, creators." On October 10, 2018, as part of the cooperation agreement, they signed the "Regional Revitalization Corporate Exchange Program," and dispatched creative talent Yasutoshi Yamano, who works on space production, to Nichinan City to work on revitalizing the region. Together with Nichinan City, related companies, and various other players, we are working to revitalize the area, including creating the "Nichinan City Obi District Revitalization Guidelines," holding the "DENKEN WEEK" event aimed at developing the historic townscape, and producing spaces for old houses. [Customer's Issues/Requests] (1) We want to renovate old houses into accommodations mainly targeting foreign tourists. (2) We want to incorporate elements unique to the region as a strength of the accommodation business. (3) We want to create a space that feels Japanese. [Solution] Old houses are one of the spaces that most condense Japanese lifestyles and culture, or "lifestyles." In this renovation plan, we wanted to make the most of the pillars, beams, ceilings, and other elements that convey the past, and to make the other elements into a space that modern people can use comfortably. Therefore, we set the overall concept as "Post-Heritage: Inheritance and Transformation to Spin for the Next Generation" and explored new ways to inherit culture. The selection of tools was also consistent, and we did not stick to traditional techniques, but instead composed of items that weave Japan in various approaches. As a result, we believe that this accommodation facility provides an inspiring experience that will spark an interest in Japan for foreign visitors to Japan and make domestic tourists proud of Japan. <Our project members> [Space production] Yamano Yasutoshi [Furniture and decoration coordination] Yamano Yasutoshi [concept design (interiors)] Suzaka Yukio [Development] Yagi Nobuyuki [Sales] Shirai Toshiyuki ・Release: Nichinan City, Miyazaki Prefecture and NOMURA sign "Comprehensive collaboration agreement on regional revitalization" https://www.nomurakougei.co.jp/uploads/news/attachments/1/bd685168ce469eb3f8f63ef2a5fe43c89bbc9af85df83d352763aa2eeb42e9cf.pdf ・Release: Nichinan City, Miyazaki Prefecture and NOMURA sign "Regional Revitalization Corporate Exchange Program" https://www.nomurakougei.co.jp/uploads/news/attachments/1/aa565bf338f37cd539f269b55ea67caf32e4e527800fa28c89557f39ddf51f19.pdf ・Other achievements: DENKEN PJM https://www.nomurakougei.co.jp/achievements/detail/409

[Project Description] A renovation project for 148 rooms on 4 floors and 22 floors of corridors. Hilton Fukuoka Sea Hawk is a symbolic icon of the Seaside Momochi District, which was selected as one of the 100 best urban landscapes in Japan, and its architectural shape is based on the concept of a "big ship sailing out into Hakata Bay." In this renovation, we also took the comfort of being on a ship and the sea view from the ship as our motif, and imagined how people interact with each other through the connections between people in Hakata Bay, which has been a link between foreign countries since ancient times. We designed the Hilton Fukuoka with the aim of making it a hotel that will be loved by people around the world for a long time, with a shape and composition born from "interaction," a texture that gives the feeling of a "cabin," and the colors of "white sand and green pine" unique to Hakata Bay. [Customer's Issues/Requests] The issue was to concept design the guest rooms flexible for various guests, including business, leisure, inbound, and MICE. The long corridors were required to be concept design in a way that would not give guests a monotonous impression. [Solution] We added a mechanism to the headboards of the guest rooms' beds, moving them to the center so that a single room can be arranged as a twin type or Hollywood twin type in accordance with guest requests. In the corridor, the intersection of gradation lines in the carpet represents the trajectory of a ship, and we have created an impressive concept design that incorporates the colors of the outside scenery into the interior, treating the Hakata Bay side as the sea, the center as the sandy beach, and the city side as the pine forest. <Our project members> [Sales and project management] Yoshimori Masayuki, Abe Noriko [design, layout] Aono Keita, Yokoyama Naoaki, Watanabe Jun [Production and construction] Eda Takayuki, Kanayama Mitsuaki

[Project Description] This is a hot spring facility renewal project for the main building of Akiu Grand Hotel in the Akiu Onsen district of Sendai city. Taking full advantage of the excellent location along the Rairaikyo Gorge, we aimed to create a hot spring facility that combines the charm of Akiu Grand Hotel with a modern impression, while giving a sense of unity with Akiu's four seasons and Rairaikyo Gorge. [Customer's Issues/Requests] There is a promenade for tourists between Rairaikyo Gorge and the hotel that stands along the valley, so we needed to find a way to make the hot spring facility invisible from both the promenade and the promenade. We also took care to ensure that the facility can be used safely by three generations, such as by reducing the difference in height between the steps leading up to the baths. The design theme for the men's bath is "Bonten no Yu - A bath of forgetfulness in a Zen-like tranquility where you can concept design the four seasons of Akiu and enjoy a sense of oneness with Rairaikyo Gorge," while the women's bath is "Aihime no Yu - A tranquil modern resort in sympathy with the nature of Rairaikyo Gorge, a bath of beautiful skin where you can truly relax in an extraordinary space." [Solution] When you open the sliding door to the hot spring, guests are greeted by a tranquil atmosphere of hot water gushing forth from a huge natural stone carved like a hand-washing basin, with the natural scenery of Rairaikyo Gorge in the background, like a painting, and in order to further enhance the sense of oneness with nature by reflecting the scenery of the four seasons of Rairaikyo Gorge in the open-air bath, we have created an infinity design so that the edge of the bath is not visible. Additionally, the dividing wall between the men's and women's open-air baths makes use of the huge stones that have been installed there since ancient times, the floor is made of Towada stone with a pale blue-green color that gives a feeling of cleanliness, and the ceiling is made of wood-grain panels that give a modern impression, creating a stylish and high-quality atmosphere. A glass sash that can be opened wide to the left and right is placed in the center of the indoor bath, connecting the inside and outside during good seasons and creating a sense of spaciousness. <Our project members> [Development] Nishibori Masayoshi, Oyama Isao, Sato Mitsuhiro [Sales] Uesugi Hiroyuki [Creative direction] Matsubara Miwa [design, layout] Matsubara Miwa, Takahashi Ryoji, Honda Takeshi [Production and construction] Fukuda Manabu, Takase Masaaki, Aizawa Ken [Architectural supervision] Ueno Hiroshi

In addition, by making proposals that took project investment into consideration, responding promptly to specification changes as required, and being conscious of the schedule, we fulfilled our role as construction company right up until the opening. <Our project members> [Sales/Project Management] Hiroshi Tsubosaka, Kayu Tatsumi [Production/ construction] Hiroki Yoshitake, Yoshito Hamabe, Ikuya Sasaki, Yuya Tsuboi Photography: Kenta Hasegawa

[Project description] A renovation project for the Grand Hyatt Fukuoka's 1st floor all-day dining. [Client's challenge/request] The client wanted to transform AROMA'S on the 1st floor into a lively dining restaurant, with content and concept design that would attract non-guests as well. We were required to set up an actual charcoal grill and concept design a buffet-style open kitchen as a selling point for the restaurant. [Solution] We aimed for an open storefront in the hotel reception and lounge area, with a moderate mix of luxury and casualness. <Our project members> [Direction] Kosaka Ryu [concept design] Miyazato Takashi, Tanaka Yuji [Sales/management] Endo Masahiro [Production/ construction] Kanayama Mitsuaki, Tsumagari Toshihide

[Project Summary] Hilton Tokyo Odaiba offers a panoramic view of Tokyo Bay, the Tokyo cityscape, and Rainbow Bridge. The restaurant on the third floor has been renovated into a banquet hall. While it is primarily used for wedding receptions, the banquet hall can be used in a variety of ways to meet the needs of guests. The flexible layout, images projected onto the 22m wall, and the Tokyo landscape that fills the entire window area provide an experience that can only be realized here. The essence of the design is the view from Odaiba, where nature and new things coexist, with the skyline pattern created by the high-rise buildings visible from the window and the bridal room surrounded by the view of Tokyo Bay thanks to concept design mirrored walls.

[Project Summary] This project renovates the annex guest rooms and the first floor banquet hall at The Prince Hakone Lake Ashinoko into a grill restaurant. The aim was to incorporate the atmosphere of the scenic spot, with its green mountains, clear blue waters of Lake Ashinoko, and Mount Fuji visible on a clear day, into the hotel. [Client's Challenge] We planned the layout of the new open kitchen while utilizing the existing banquet hall on the first floor. The challenge for the guest rooms was to create a new feel while adjusting concept design to retain the existing beds, desks, and waist-high walls. [Solution] As the restaurant is a grill restaurant located on the shores of Lake Ashinoko, we incorporated calm textures into the design, used colors that make the grilled food taste delicious, and created a space that enhances the liveliness of the newly built open kitchen. The guest rooms are based on the concept of "the nature of Hakone and Lake Ashi," and the scenery that spreads along the shores of Lake Ashi in Hakone, such as the sparkling moss, the pretty flowers blooming along the lakeside, the beautiful rows of cedar trees, and the fantastic morning mist, are used as image items in the rooms to create a relaxing space. <Our project members> [Project management and sales] Kogure Masanori, Omomo Kae [design, layout] Taibiji Sachiko, Ogushi Kaori, Nagao Manami, Isoyama Eri, Kazeto Chihiro [construction] Mizuno Tadayasu, Takami Hiroshi

[Project Summary] This project renovates the existing guest room building ahead of the new building, which will open in July 2017 and house the hot spring and spa facility "THERMAL SPA S.WAVE". We aimed to create a seaside resort facility that combines the familiarity of Oiso, a historic villa area, with the newness that will lead to the new building. [Client's Challenge] The theme was to renovate the existing accommodation building to increase the overall appeal of the facility while harmonizing with the hot spring and spa building project already underway. Another challenge was to transform this facility, which was focused on the summer season because it is adjacent to Oiso Long Beach, into a year-round resort hotel. [Solution] We renovated the hotel in Oiso, the birthplace of Shonan, based on the concept of "Shonan Luxury," where you can spend a day relaxing and luxuriously while feeling the sea and the breeze, and aimed to create the "resort hotel closest to the city" that not only has a pool, but also tennis courts, a golf course, and a bowling alley. The entrance hall, lobby, party room, and restaurant areas were gently partitioned to create a breeze-filled space, allowing the space to be renovated into a resort space where you can feel the ocean no matter where you are. <Our project members> [Project management/sales] Kogure Masanori, Omomo Kae [design, layout] Taibiji Sachiko, Ogushi Kaori, Isoyama Eri, Kazeto Chihiro [construction] Mizuno Tadayasu, Yamada Yusuke, Kuwamata Naoya, Tanaka Yui

Design work by Design Conveyor, interiors construction/FF & amp; by construction bidding; As we received an order for E construction, we were able to work on the design construction project by our company. As a result, we were able to provide a space that complies with Hilton Standard quality standards within a limited construction period and budget, while also realizing a concept design that can handle business in resort areas. < Client Challenge > Hilton Tokyo Bay is mainly for guests who come to Tokyo Disney Resort ® and has fun rooms where they can experience the world of fantasy. Under such circumstances, the theme of this renovation was to provide guest rooms that are comfortable for both business travelers and adults. < Solution > The view of Tokyo Bay in Katsushika Hokusai's ukiyo-e (ukiyo-e) Fumusume 36 Views was so similar that concept design's concept was to express the materials and colors of the ukiyo-e in space. By doing so, I thought it would be a familiar space for Japanese, and a Japanese and fresh space for foreigners. The floor is decorated with the unique blue gradation of ukiyo-e, the wood of a ship floating in the sea is used as furniture, and the bronze plate used for the lantern is used as a focal color to express a sense of relaxation and relaxation throughout the space. 〈 our company Project Member 〉【 Sales & Project Management 】 Masayuki Yoshimori 【 design, layout 】 Keita Aono/Hiroyuki Sugada/Kyoko Aikawa 【 Production ・ construction 】 Takayuki Ara
