This project involved the concept design, interiors renovation, and environmental features of the "Children's Corner" at Nakano City Central Library, located a 10-minute walk from Nakano Station. Our goal was to create a space where parents and children can feel comfortable and where the joy of books can flourish. In the raised area, we created and installed benches, a bookshelf for picture-story shows, and wooden motifs, as well as rotating blocks and a mechanism for measuring height. We also designed and produced a bulletin board with a mailbox, a hemispherical chair, and a movable bookshelf, and used "Tama wood," a local wood source in Tokyo, to create the wooden furniture, in line with the concept of wood education. We also produced 11 types of book stands, including original characters from the Central Library, to create a space that is both "playful" and "warm."

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 project "SEN℃," a cafe where visitors 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, the library reopened on April 2, 2024. The concept of the library is "A library where knowledge circulates and where people and the city grow freely." Like the ecosystem of Takamatsu Pond that spreads out before them, 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 in ocean blue tones and a bench with a relief of the marine dinosaur Plesiosaurus are installed, evoking 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 project is based on the concept of "connecting," and aims to create a connection between the space from before boarding the Spacia X to after getting off. 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 that resembles a gate connecting the everyday and extraordinary spaces, with added features that allow you to feel the magical world. The pillars on the platform, station signs, 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 wood grown within Toshimaen have been remade to fit a new concept and are now on displays, making the station a beloved destination among 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 style, 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," a magical worldview has been created by applying illustrations of wizards and owls throughout the station, 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 are expected 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 were able to ease the psychological anxiety of patients and create a space where they can spend their time comfortably and comfortably. With a smart appearance symbolizing a cutting-edge medical facility and a space filled with elegant colors, we aimed to create a facility that would take root in the local community and be beloved as a symbol of the town.

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."
