Okajima Department Store Relocation Plan

This is a relocation plan due to the aging of the Okajima Department Store building. The relocation location was the nearby commercial facility "KoKori," and for this project, we were responsible for construction management (project management/facility coordination/ furniture and fixture manufacturing operations), design (architectural design/ design administration /equipment design), and construction (architecture/equipment).

This was Mr. Okajima's first large-scale renovation project, and a challenge was the lack of personnel to handle construction management, furniture and fixture manufacturing supervision, project management, and budget management.
Furthermore, the facility at the relocation site was a regular commercial establishment, and the building itself was not designed with a department store in mind. Therefore, design adjustments were necessary to ensure that a department store-style sales floor could function.

We built a system to cover a wide range of tasks, including design construction and construction management of building equipment, and made proposals. In particular, in terms of design, we made proposals that made use of the experience and know-how we had cultivated in previous department store-related projects to create a sales floor space as a department store, while also considering the feasibility of building and equipment while promoting design work. As a result, we were able to build a space as a department store.

Since the new facility was not built with the concept of a department store in mind, it must have been very difficult to create the sales floor environment for a department store. We have realized a space with dignity and world view.
