<Description of the project> Seven Park Ario Kashiwa, a large-scale shopping center that opened in April 2016, has attracted more than 1 million visitors within 10 days of its opening. "SKY KIDS" is a children's space within it, where local children can play safely and securely at any time. Therefore, as the main children's experience, we developed three interactive contents using multi-large screen signage, and "interactive play equipment" that responds to sound and light when touched or hit. It is a mechanism that aims to naturally train creativity, physical strength, and communication skills by letting children become absorbed in playing.

Geolia will lead the Izu Peninsula Geopark to World Geopark certification and play the role of a base facility for sustainable activities. Shuzenji Onsen is located in the central part of the peninsula and is a key transportation hub. Taking advantage of that advantage, it is a place to gather information on all activities rooted in the land of Izu, and to create a "mechanism and mechanism" that enlivens the entire Izu Peninsula from the perspective of history, folklore, and life as well as nature. We provided comprehensive support, including the formulation of an action plan involving local residents, and the development and operation of a smartphone app that utilized videos introducing geosites. ●What is a geopark? A word that combines "Geo" and "Park", it means "park of the earth" and refers to a place where you can learn about the earth (geo) and enjoy it as a whole. increase.

[Project Summary] This project involved renovating the JAL lounge at New Chitose Airport's domestic terminal. Based on the concept of "Japanese atmosphere," we incorporated the texture of Japanese materials and the color palette of materials evoking our corporate color, red. The Sakura Lounge and the Diamond Premier Lounge, our highest-end domestic lounge, were concept design to be open, high-quality, and sophisticated. The seating layout was carefully designed to be functional while offering a wide variety of seating options for various occasions. [Customer Challenge] The key challenges were to concretely express JAL's brand keyword, "sophistication," and to differentiate the lounge from the Haneda JAL International Lounge (concept design by NOMURA Co.,Ltd., Ltd.). Furthermore, we considered how to express the individuality of each airport as we expand to approximately five major airports. Functionally, we identified challenges such as ensuring a set number of seats based on the total square meters and expanding baggage storage capacity. [Solution] While the international flights were designed with a white wood base, the domestic flights featured the corporate color, "red," using various materials to create a distinctive, brand-focused concept design. To express sophistication, we used sharp textures such as glass and metalwork, and incorporated cutting-edge art to create a highly sensitive space. Expanding storage functionality was achieved by designing custom furniture that ensures storage space. <Our project members> [Sales/Project Management] Takenaka Hisayasu [Direction] Kosaka Ryu [design, layout] Takeuchi Hironori

<Project Description> Mt. Fuji is a world cultural heritage that Japan is proud of. The Mt. Fuji World Heritage Center is a facility that raises awareness of the importance of learning and enjoying the value of Mt. Fuji, which was registered as a world heritage site as an object of faith and a source of artistic inspiration, from both the natural and cultural perspectives, and of preserving it for the future. Our company solved the problem of effectively conveying the "interestingness of learning about Mt. Fuji" to visitors, including many foreigners, by providing a spatial experience with audio, video, and lighting productions featuring non-verbal content (non-verbal displays), and an displays guide using the app "Fuji Meguri," which includes multilingual (7 languages) explanations and audio commentary narrated by Shuzo Matsuoka. The combination of "huge object structures" + "ICT content" + "lighting, audio, and video" creates an experience that can only be found here. [What is the original app "Fuji Meguri"?] It is AR content that works with about 30 displays items. You can enjoy AR where figures of people connected to Mt. Fuji start talking, and AR where ancient pilgrimage routes appear on a floor map with a diameter of 18m. In addition, if you take it outside, it can also be used as a tool to explain famous places such as temples, shrines, lakes, and hiking trails. <Our project members> [Development] Yokoyama Masanori [Sales/Project Management] Mizoguchi Kohei [Planning] Kameyama Yuichi, Ohashi Ryuta [design, layout] Tsutsumi Yuichiro [Digital concept design] Mima Hiroyoshi [Library concept design] Odagiri Toshihiko [Modeling concept design] Kishikawa Kenichi [Production/ construction] Yajima Kensaku, Ohara Yuka

[Project Summary] Weathernews Inc. opened its in-house nursery, "WNI RAIN KIDS HOUSE," with the aim of creating an environment where employees can balance childcare and their work lives. Located within the company's Makuhari Techno Garden complex, the nursery aims to foster a safe and secure working environment for employees. It also houses an after-school program for children up to sixth grade. The "RAIN" in the nursery's name embodies the company's desire to foster respectful, adventurous, and independent qualities in children. Weathernews requested a unique space design that would express this concept, as well as efficient functionality for mixed-age childcare, such as combining a nursery and after-school program. Our project team is comprised of working fathers and mothers. Drawing on their own childcare experience, we planned and designed the names of each class and the educational programs. We pursued Weathernews' unique identity down to the smallest details, from the space expressing "RAIN" to the logo graphics and design, and worked with Team M construction with safety and environmental considerations in mind. [Customer Feedback] We discussed various themes and concepts internally to create a facility unique to Weathernews, and NOMURA Co.,Ltd. was extremely helpful in bringing this to fruition, including the process. For example, the logo concept design and concept captured the hearts of our staff, and we were impressed with their idea of painting a weather chart from the company's founding on the floor, which we adopted. Nomura Co. NOMURA Co.,Ltd. provided a wide range of suggestions, and we were able to open a wonderful in-house nursery that is uniquely Weathernews.

[Project summary] An interiors design project for a comprehensive medical and beauty building consisting of 12 floors. The interior concept design concept was "a 'movement' that people find comfortable," and by making use of the existing architecture and incorporating elements of movement such as "ripples in water," "moving light," and "sunlight filtering through the trees" into concept design, we established a new standard for medical facilities that is reminiscent of going to a high-quality SPA.

The Saga Prefectural Space Science Museum "Yumeginga" was established in 1999 as a communication facility that connects people and science. Since 2006, we have been the representative of the "designated manager" and are currently jointly managing it with Mavec Co., Ltd. The concept is "to develop children's scientific minds," "to convey the wonder of discovery and creation," and "to discover and recognize a comprehensive understanding of the universe, the Earth, and Saga, and their relationship with oneself." In addition to displays that enhance learning, we planned topical displays that can be enjoyed by tourists and disseminated nationwide. This facility has three zones: the "Saga Discovery Zone," the "Earth Discovery Zone," and the "Space Discovery Zone," and our company was in charge of all the zones when the museum opened. After a full renovation of the "Earth Discovery Zone" in the quarter century since its opening, we fully renovated the "Space Discovery Zone" in 2024. The concept of the renovation of the "Space Discovery Zone," where there are as many exciting things in space as there are stars, is "a long journey into space." The two perspectives of space science, which seeks to understand what the universe is, and space activities, which are humanity's attempt to pioneer the universe, are linked under the theme of "life." The displays space depicts on a grand scale where our life originates, where it is headed, and how it is related to the universe. We also aimed to create displays experience that makes visitors feel closer to the universe and broadens their perspective, leading to two existing zones on another floor.

The Morioka Machiya Monogatarikan, a fully renovated and restored sake brewery, main house, and library storehouse, which are preserved buildings in Morioka City, has opened as a new tourist and exchange facility in Morioka. Based on the concept of "encountering nostalgic bustle," the facility was designed to be a place of interaction for visiting residents and tourists, while retaining the historical buildings and atmosphere of the good old Morioka machiya, and to concept design the five new charms of Morioka: "seeing," "experiencing," "interacting," "shopping," and "eating."

In conjunction with the expansion of the entire terminal building to accommodate the increase in international flights at Haneda Airport, the JAL International Sakura Lounge was expanded and renovated to be 2.5 times larger. Based on the Japanese concept of "Room To Room," where rooms are connected but separated by partitions, the number of corridors was reduced, and the floor was finished with an open feel, with original lattices and gently partitioned washi paper sand glass, allowing each seat to have a view of the runway while still maintaining privacy. In addition, the split-level floor that offers a wide view, motifs that evoke the sky and travel, and flower petals that symbolize the Sakura Lounge were all created using traditional Japanese techniques to create original art that fits the theme, embodying a refined and sophisticated concept of "tradition, innovation, and the Japanese spirit." We assisted with design, layout of this project. <Awards> *BEST 100 at the "JCD concept design Award 2015" *Selected for the "Japan Space concept design Award 2015" Areas of responsibility: design, layout
