Umekita Green Place

Located at the gateway to the Umekita Phase 2 Area, Umekita Green Place is a commercial complex with the themes of "greenery" and "a place for meeting and interaction."
We proposed creating a facility that would create a lush green plaza and a lively, relaxing space where visitors could wander around and enjoy themselves, with 20 stores, mainly restaurants and cafes, catering to the needs of people coming and going around the JR Osaka Station area for a variety of reasons, from office workers in the area to people visiting the park or shopping.
Our company was responsible for the planning, design and construction of the food court on the second floor and the restrooms on the second and third floors, as well as furniture and fixture manufacturing of the entire facility.

The food court needed to secure as many seats as possible while increasing turnover and traffic flow, and maintaining the visibility of each tenant, so the layout plan that took these into consideration was a challenge.

Additionally, the restrooms needed to be effectively designed to accommodate a wide range of users within a limited space, and a layout plan was required that would achieve both ease of use and comfort.

Based on the concept of "seamless," we adopted a color scheme that was conscious of the connection with the park, creating a sense of unity with the surrounding environment. In addition, we created a zoning plan that took into consideration visibility from the deck connecting JR Osaka Station and the Umekita area, ensuring natural flow and ease of movement.
As for the seating, a large, impressive table is placed in the center, which not only enhances concept design but also maximizes the area efficiency in terms of seating capacity.
The restrooms were also designed to be bright, comfortable, and easy to use, with the same color scheme as the food court. Within the limited space, various functions such as multipurpose restrooms and nursing rooms have been efficiently arranged, making the design suitable for a wide range of users.
