[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
