JUNOPARK

Juno Park, which opened in Kizugawa City, Kyoto Prefecture, is a project that renovated Sekisui House's experiential research facility, "Nattoku Kobo," into a "housing education edutainment facility" that nurtures children's sensibilities.
The building has four floors in total; the first floor is a cafe and library that local people can easily use, while the second to fourth floors are paid experience areas.

Our company was responsible for the planning, development, and operation planning of "Experience Activities," a 45-minute game-style group workshop linked to six themes related to "living" based on Sekisui House's concept of "sensibility nurtured in daily life," and "Experience Gallery," displays visitors can enjoy interacting with and thinking about things. This included creating staff scripts and facility operation manuals, as well as designing and construction interiors and outdoor signage for the entire facility.

As a facility that combines education and entertainment, the content and spatial design needed to enable the target audience of upper elementary school children to learn while having fun.
Aiming to increase children's motivation and create an experience that would foster diverse sensibilities, the project team, including the client, came together and held repeated discussions to tackle a problem for which there was no correct answer.

To verify whether the planned content was truly something that children could learn in a fun way, the project team and employees' children repeatedly assembled and tested the prototypes, and we also held a trial session in which we invited general elementary school students.
Furthermore, by working as a team to consider content and space as a whole, we aimed to maximize the experiential value of the facility.

We have received many compliments from both inside and outside the company about the design and design philosophy. Thank you again.
