Funabashi Racecourse Renewal

The project is scheduled for completion in March 2025 after a total renovation project that took approximately five years.
The facility has been opened with the addition of new stands (viewing facilities for a wide range of customers, including the general public and guests), entrance gates, the first double-sided paddock screen at a racecourse in Japan, and a grass plaza, allowing many people, including local residents and horse racing novices, to experience the feeling of being an "open racecourse."

We were asked to make proposals for furniture for the guest room, where visitors would stay for about half a day, based on the following criteria:
・You can feel the status that only a VIP seat can give you
・Enjoy watching the races and eating
-Excellent concept design functionality
 

We identified behavioral patterns that are unique to racetracks, such as filling out ballots, reading horseracing papers, going to get food and drinks from the buffet, and frequently moving between the outdoor stands and the paddock, and then took into consideration the balance of table height and sofas to make it easy to read and write while relaxing comfortably.

・The facility has been highly praised by guests who use it, with comments such as "It's a relaxing space" and "You can enjoy watching the horse races while feeling special."
-You can enjoy the different atmospheres in each room and use them according to your needs.
