KeiyoGAS Community Terrace

Keiyo Gas' Ichikawa Showroom in Ichikawa City, Chiba Prefecture has been renovated into a community space open to the local community.
The name "KeiyoGAS Community Terrace" (commonly known as "Terasu") reflects the company's concept of "towards the next happy!" . ” is included.

The interior of the building is also concept design to be a place where everyone can belong, accepting the free activities and various ways of spending time of the local people, based on the concept of "porch = terrace".
In addition, under the facility slogan, "Children, adults, and the city," we have put in place mechanisms that allow users to participate in community building and efforts to support local lifestyles and activities. Through this initiative, we aimed to create a community that grows together with the citizens and the region.


[Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests]
The showroom was opened with the concept of allowing people to experience and experience the goodness of gas. The challenge for Keiyo Gas, which is rebranding as a showroom, was to create a space that embodied "what is the meaning and form of a showroom that is sought after?"


【solution】
Through brainstorming about the future of the showroom, we have set a policy of "de-showroom" that utilizes this place as a place to create a close relationship between Keiyo Gas and users. By reborn as a community space that is close to the local community, we aim to create a community that Keiyo Gas and local residents can create together while embodying the corporate concept of a comprehensive lifestyle industry operator that is "close to people and their lives." It became a space.


【customer's voice】
Aiming to move away from the showroom, we started considering it within our company, but we were having trouble creating a concrete space.
After making proposals, we received many surprising proposals that could not have been imagined from internal discussions alone, and realized them, while leveraging the strengths of a gas company such as "community-based" and our future vision. Thank you.
There were a wide variety of considerations and meetings on both soft and hard aspects, but each time they responded very politely and empathetically. This kind of attitude is very reassuring, and the members of our company feel that they are creating together, and I look back on this project.

In addition, we reflected the proposed facility name in the organization name, and the first hiragana team was born in our company.
We would like to thank everyone who has been in charge of this project and everyone who has provided support. Thank you very much for this time.
