Amu Plaza Nagasaki Shinkan is a new large-scale commercial facility planned to open in November 2023 in conjunction with the opening of the West Kyushu Shinkansen. As the land gateway to Nagasaki, an international tourist city, it will create new liveliness and interaction. We participated in the planning and development phase from the supervision of the architectural plan, and were in charge of the environment of the commercial zone design, layout and construction (in part), following "Nagasaki Kaido Kamome Ichiba".
The space needed to be new, yet evoke the scenery, culture, and history of Nagasaki, and environmental design needed to be appropriate for a land gateway. As a "time-spending station building," we also needed rest spaces filled with greenery and relaxation throughout the building.
concept design concept is "Irodori Saruku," a combination of the Nagasaki word "saruku" (to walk around) and the unique colors that overflow from the city of Nagasaki. At the entrance facing Nagasaki Station, you will be greeted by stained glass that expresses the colors of Nagasaki. In addition, different scenery is presented on each floor, combining colors, materials, and patterns that are linked to the scenery and culture of Nagasaki, such as the blue of Nagasaki Bay, the black of the cobblestones, and the green of the Western-style architecture. In addition, hidden Nagasaki motifs are scattered throughout, such as a waterscape modeled after Dejima, an indoor garden with plants brought from around the world, and a kids' space that looks like castella cake. By giving each floor and area its own unique color, we have created a fun experience that is unique to Nagasaki.
They participated from the basic planning stage in the early stages of development, and although there were times when various changes occurred as the plan progressed, they responded flexibly each time and were able to create a space that is unique to Nagasaki.
