Following the 15th anniversary renewal in 2013, for which we were in charge of planning and design supervision, we were involved in the 20th anniversary renewal from the planning stage onwards. After several renewals, the facility was reopened in 2019 as a milestone project marking the completion of the entire renewal.
The welcome space on the first floor and the restaurant on the fifth floor have been completely renovated, and the signs within the building have been updated and new digital signage has been installed.
The renovation was based on the 15th anniversary concept, "Romanticship Umihotaru." Unlike the 4th floor, which has openings facing the sea on all sides, this floor only has openings facing inwards, and the spatial image was created using special decorations.
Considering the chronic traffic jams that occur on weekends, we wanted to increase the value of the experience within the constraint of an average stay of 30 minutes.
The aging welcome gate on the first floor has been renovated, and even in the rough weather that is unique to Umihotaru, visitors can stay comfortably on the upper floor without having to go down to the lower floor before entering the restaurant floor on the 5th floor. To do so.
We have received the above requests.
The first floor was renovated from a welcome gate to a welcome floor, and the entire space was expressed as an area that welcomes visitors, rather than a barrier called a gate.
On the 5th floor, the semi-outdoor space included in the floor area has been turned indoors, and the plan has been designed so that restaurant users can travel around while staying comfortably, greatly improving the value of their stay.
In conjunction with this renovation, we proposed renewing the signage plan for the entire building and introducing digital signage, contributing to improved convenience for visitors.
