As part of vitalization business for the redevelopment of Senri Central Park, we renovated the architecture, interiors, and landscape of the former park management office, and planned a facility that would be thought up and created together with local residents about Senri Central Park. Based on the concept of PLAY 1OOORE SCENES' "three O's" (Open, Ordinary, Organic), our company is involved in the design, layout, construction, and operation of the park vitalization business "SEN℃," a cafe where you can enjoy the unique experience of the park, the mini-shop "PARK LAWSON Senri Store," and the community space "LABO." As part of our efforts with local residents, we held and operated events such as "Find a Color, Make a Color" and "Paint the Whole Building," where we colored the exterior walls of the lab building with colors found in the park, creating value that can only be found here.

This is a renovation project for Morioka City Library, including seismic retrofitting. After being closed for about two and a half years, it reopened on April 2, 2024. The concept of the library is "A library where knowledge circulates and grows freely with people and the city." Like the ecosystem of Takamatsu Pond that spreads out before it, the library aims to be a place where Morioka's knowledge and people naturally gather, connect, and circulate back to the community. Our company was responsible for the planning, design, production, and construction of the interior space of the facility, as well as the VI such as the logo.

In preparation for the opening of the Hokuriku Shinkansen Fukui-Tsuruga line in spring 2024, Fukui Prefecture and Fukui City have launched the "Fukui Station Dinosaur Expansion Project" to promote "Fukui, the Kingdom of Dinosaurs" to visitors by placing various dinosaur displays around Fukui Station and to create a lively atmosphere using dinosaurs. Fukui City is in charge of the east exit area of Fukui Station, and has installed a parent-child Triceratops monument with the theme of parent-child love in the East Exit Plaza. The parent Triceratops is a life-sized dinosaur robot that expresses parent-child love by moving at regular times and making sounds. Meanwhile, the shelter area of Fukui Station is designed to evoke the world of land. You can interact with three baby dinosaurs, including a Spinosaurus, and the egg monument is a photo spot where you can enter and take photos. The adjacent pedestrian-only road is designed to evoke the world of the sky. There are benches for child dinosaurs who dream of becoming dinosaur researchers, as well as a sign reading "Pterosaur Conservation Area," and on the exterior wall of Echizen Railway Fukui Station facing the road ahead, a 20-meter-long herd of pteranodons is painted. Furthermore, under the elevated railway, an internally illuminated "Pterosaur Conservation Area" sign with a sea blue base and benches with a relief of the marine dinosaur Plesiosaurus have been installed to evoke the image of an underwater world. In this way, each area has its own theme, and the different sights to see make it easy to wander around.

This is a renewal project for Tobu Skytree Line's "Asakusa Station" and Tobu Nikko Line's "Tobu Nikko Station" in line with the start of Tobu Railway's new limited express train, Spacia X. The concept of this project is "connecting," and the aim is to create a connection between the space before boarding the Spacia X and after disembarking. The concept of "connecting" also has several overlapping meanings, such as "connecting" to the journey of Nikko, "connecting the old and new station building concept design," "connecting the history and culture of the area along the line to the future," and "connecting the skills and thoughts of the creators to the users." As a station building concept design that embodies "connecting," it actively uses materials from Tochigi Prefecture and incorporates motifs from the nature, history, and culture of Nikko into concept design, aiming for "environmental conservation" and "cultural dissemination" as a new initiative of Tobu Railway. In order to communicate this initiative, we were also in charge of producing graphic posters with the theme of "connecting," which were displays in the Asakusa Station and Tobu Nikko Station premises.

This is a renewal project for the Seibu Railway's Toshimaen Station and Ikebukuro Station in conjunction with the opening of Studio Tour Tokyo (Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo – The Making of Harry Potter), which was built on the site of the former Toshimaen. ■Toshimaen Station Based on the concept of "a station where imagination blends into everyday life," the station building has a simple concept design reminiscent of a gate connecting everyday and extraordinary spaces, with added features that allow you to feel the world of magic. The pillars on the platform, station sign, vending machines, etc. have been renovated to a red-based design reminiscent of Hogsmeade Station, which leads to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In addition, the glass surface at the top of the facade is used to display see-through LED images that change depending on the time of day and season, creating a floating, magical atmosphere. In addition, as a legacy of Toshimaen, which closed in August 2020, model trains, telephone booth objects, benches, and objects made from trees grown within Toshimaen have been remade to fit a new concept and are on displays, making the station popular with local residents. ■Ikebukuro Station Based on King's Cross Station in London, England, the walls of platforms 1 and 2, where trains to Toshimaen mainly depart and arrive, have been renovated to a brick pattern, and the station sign has also been renovated to a navy blue color scheme. Based on the concept of "a road to a fantasy world," illustrations of wizards and owls are used throughout the station to create a magical worldview, making it a gateway to the magical world.

Tochigi Health Check Plaza is a medical facility that relocated and opened on January 15, 2024 for health checkups and medical examinations. In today's world, where people can expect to live to 100 years old, health management through regular health checkups and medical examinations is more important than ever. In order to realize the wishes of many patients that their annual medical examination day be a "rich and special day," we have created a space full of hospitality, from architecture to interior and furniture concept design. In order to respond to customer requests and a wide range of concept design areas, we teamed up with NAU (now the Architectural Production Department), which specializes in total concept design on an urban planning and architectural scale, and an interior concept design team that specializes in the hospitality market, such as hotels. By utilizing each other's expertise and concept design everything from the architectural scale to the human scale, we have created a space that relieves the psychological anxiety of patients and allows them to spend their time comfortably and comfortably. With a smart appearance that symbolizes an advanced medical facility and a space full of elegant colors, we aimed to create a facility that is rooted in the community and loved as a symbol of the city.

The main building is a historical entertainment facility with the theme of Maebashi's "crisis and people's power." Maebashi was called the "flower of Kanto" during the Edo period and flourished as a castle town, and continued to develop as the prefectural capital of Gunma Prefecture after the Meiji period. During that time, however, our ancestors overcame four crises with the "people's power" and achieved reconstruction: the collapse of Maebashi Castle due to erosion of the Tone River, the abolition of feudal domains and the establishment of prefectures due to the Meiji Restoration, the suspension of operations in the silk industry, which was the city's main industry, due to the Great Depression, and the burning of 80% of the city area in air raids during World War II. The main building calls Maebashi, which developed as the "flower of Kanto" and the "prefectural capital," "the Flower Capital," and was opened with the hope that it would be an opportunity for citizens to trace the history of their hometown and think about Maebashi's future.

This project aims to improve the appeal of Kanazawa crafts in the Tokyo metropolitan area and strengthen its ability to convey the message. It relocates and opens "Dining Gallery Ginza no Kanazawa," which was located on the sixth floor of a commercial facility, as a full-scale crafts gallery on the street in Ginza 5-chome. Utilizing the brand power that has been cultivated thus far, we will create a new stage that connects Kanazawa with the world, culture and business, tradition and innovation, and convey the appeal of Kanazawa crafts to the world, while also nurturing young craft artists.

In order to contribute to the promotion of SDGs in Higashiyodogawa Ward, Osaka Prefecture, and to create a space where visitors can feel relaxed and comfortable, Higashiyodogawa Ward Office has renovated the waiting areas on the first and second floors with wood. The renovation concept is "Treeful." This is a coined word that means "full" with trees (tree), and conveys the message that just as a wide variety of trees gather together to create a rich, strong, and sustainable mountain, the diversity of the people living in this city creates a rich society. By incorporating a wealth of wood from Osaka Prefecture into areas of Higashiyodogawa Ward Office that are visible to many users, and with the cooperation of ward residents through workshops, a space filled with the diverse charms of wood, "Treeful," was born. *This project was implemented using the "Forest Environment Grant Tax."

The Aoya Kami Terachi Ruins, a national historic site in Aoya-cho, Tottori City, is also known as the "underground Yayoi museum" due to the wide variety of excavated items unique to a port settlement, and this facility is part of the restoration of the historic site, "Yayoi Village." The Guidance displays Room has a theme of "Aoya Village Tour," and expresses the world view of the ruins and the Yayoi period, with a semi-structured ship (trading ship) as a symbol. In the Important Cultural Property displays Room, many items produced in the Yayoi period that could be considered beautifully concept design crafts have been excavated, and concept design was based on the theme of a "Yayoi Art Museum" that brings out the "beauty" of Aoya's excavated items, which is different from conventional archaeological museums.

Building 15 of Sophia University's Yotsuya Campus is based on the theme of "turning the city into a forest," and aims to contribute to achieving the SDGs and realizing a carbon-free society, as well as to become a sustainable landmark for the region. It opened in the fall of 2022 as a base for adult education and community interaction. The facility is a three-story wooden, fire-resistant structure designed and construction by Sumitomo Forestry, and uses "Kigurumi FR®," an original pure wood fire-resistant laminated lumber made from cedar from Tama for the main structural parts. The façade, which is covered with crisscrossing wooden lattices, is concept design to express "diversity," "interaction with others," "truth," and "tradition," which are linked to Sophia University's founding principles. The first floor will operate a cafe that is open to the public, and will provide the space for a disaster prevention warehouse to nearby neighborhood associations as part of community contribution activities. The second and third floors are also used as classrooms for the "Professional Studies" course for working adults. We were in charge of design, layout, and construction of the third floor, which is used as a classroom for working adults. We aimed to create a space that would be a place to gather, learn from each other, and talk, and to foster wisdom. We also linked the story of the architecture to the materials that make up the space, using Nishikawa timber (cedar and cypress) from concept design, which, together with materials from Tama, helped build the city of Edo.

Since opening in 2011 at the east exit of JR Urawa Station, East Medical Clinic's newly built medical facility in Urawa PARCO has been used for internal medicine, breast surgery, complete health checkups, and health checkups not only by local residents but also by many nearby companies. This is a relocation project to a mall. The opening of the relocation comes after two years of consulting on the target property and redefining the mission as the scale of the clinic expanded.

The concept is "symbiosis". This is a project to establish an exchange base in the Arahama area of Sendai City, which was affected by the tsunami caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake. Based on the concept of an ``inclusive society'' where people of all generations and with or without disabilities can gather, we have created an ``open space'' where you can enjoy activities and events and learn about disaster prevention and mitigation. The site area is 1.3 hectares. The site consists of three areas: a cafe and co-working space, a farm, and an inclusive facility where children with disabilities can play. The clubhouse uses VR equipment jointly developed by a major telecommunications company and a local university to become a place for children to learn about disaster prevention, where they can learn about the Arahama area before and after the earthquake and how to respond in the event of a disaster. I am. The project is part of Sendai City's project to utilize the site of a disaster prevention collective relocation site, and is funded by a subsidy from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. Our company provided support for acquisition applications and completion reports. This time, we completed the clubhouse area as the first phase. Aiming to create facilities that take root in the community and grow together with them, parks and indoor facilities are planned to be developed in stages based on future projections in collaboration with local residents.

This is a community revitalization and disaster prevention base that was born in Koshimizu Town, Hokkaido, and is a community revitalization and disaster prevention base that has been working in partnership with the public and public, with the aim of creating a lively and sustainable town by creating a place for people to live both in everyday life and in times of disaster. In addition to the town hall functions, the town hall will be equipped with a cafe, laundry, fitness gym, community space, etc., transforming the town hall from a traditional "place you don't go to unless you have something to do" to a new "place you come to naturally." We aim to become a central facility where the town hall and residents can work together to revitalize the town while facing the challenges of depopulation and aging.

In recent years, a new layer of rock showing how the Jomon people mined obsidian was discovered at the Takayama Ruins and Hoshikuso Pass Obsidian Mine, a nationally designated historic site. displays Hoshikuso Museum has been opened, where visitors can see the excavated layer of rock and experience the activities of the Jomon people at that time. The exterior walls of the building have changed color due to rust over the years, and the message is that the memory of obsidian is preserved and passed on. Inside displays room, the layers of rock, 20 meters long and over 5 meters high, stand on both walls of the corridor, and are reproduced exactly as they were discovered during the excavation. The layers of rock have stepped bumps and were created by the soil and sand that the Jomon people dug up in the ground in search of obsidian. Projection mapping was applied to the lines of the layers of rock to recreate the activities of the Jomon people at that time in video. Through immersive images and impressive geological strata, you can experience the passion of the Jomon people, who mined for generations in search of precious obsidian, which is only found in limited areas.
