OMO7 Yokohama by Hoshino Resorts has opened in BASEGATE Yokohama Kannai, in front of JR Kannai Station, utilizing the former Yokohama City Hall administrative building as a legacy hotel. The hotel's first-floor OMO Base, based on the concept of "Hamaism," features the "Hamaism Collection," an exhibition showcasing Yokohama's culture and history. With the cooperation of the Yokohama City Urban Development Bureau and the Yokohama City Hometown History Foundation, our company was responsible for planning, basic concept, design, production, and construction. "Hamaism" embodies the spirit of Yokohama, cherishing authenticity and preserving the old. In this project, we designed it as a gradient of experiences, from diverse Yokohama culture to the deep memories of its architecture. At the entrance to the exhibition, playful models of Neapolitan spaghetti and ice cream are displayed, along with symbolic placements of Yokohama-born culture such as railways, gas lamps, and Hamatora (Yokohama Traditional). These catchy features stimulate curiosity and draw the viewer's gaze further inside. Furthermore, after exhibits such as the Noge Miyakobashi Shopping Street, which embodies "Not Scrap & Build" (*), the narrative unfolds into a world infused with respect for the renowned architect Togo Murano. Taizan tiles and brass door handles inherited from the former Yokohama City Hall have been reassembled as living pieces. In the design of the fixtures, the lighting plan has been thoroughly considered, and it has been meticulously designed to blend in with the tone of the architecture while making each exhibit stand out in the most beautiful way. *Not Scrap & Build: An approach that preserves and utilizes existing architecture while making the most of it, rather than "Scrap & Build," which involves demolishing old buildings and rebuilding new ones.

A permanent gallery has been newly established in the "Jinyamon Plaza," a gathering place for local residents located in the "GATE SQUARE Kosugi Jinyacho" residence in Nakahara Ward, Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture, to preserve the memory of the land. "GATE SQUARE Kosugi Jinyacho" is a residence project located on the site of the former main house of the Hara family, which has existed since the Edo period. Based on the concept of "Passing on the memories of Kosugi to the next generation," the gallery unravels the history of the Hara family and Musashi Kosugi, and constructs a space that harmonizes with the architecture of the residence, using ukiyo-e motifs. The history that has changed over the passage of 400 years is brought into the modern living environment, and the memories of this place and the activities of its people are passed on to the next generation in everyday life. The gallery was concept design as a new community space that promotes regional revitalization.

Since its opening in 2001, the Cerulean Tower Tokyu Hotel has been a landmark in Shibuya. The Sky Banquet Hall on the 39th floor was named "Lunard" (Moon), "Soleil" (Sun), and "Celeste" (Sky) in reference to the sky, reflecting the desire to be a hub for international exchange that connects Japan and the world globally, just as people around the world share the sky. This renovation has resulted in concept design that more fully embodies the original concept of the sun, moon, and sky, corresponding to the names of each banquet hall. Beginning with the renovation of two banquet halls, the design has been expanded to include bar counters and curio cases in the foyer and corridors, creating a unified space that tells a story from the common areas. This adds elements of unity and elegance to the overall floor concept design. Furthermore, the space has been updated to accommodate the needs of MICE, corporate events, and weddings by allowing the combined use of the floor by connecting the banquet rooms. Between the 39th and 40th floors, a three-dimensional wall surface is formed that gradually transitions from cerulean blue to a translucent white, creating a deeper connection between the upper and lower floors.

Fairmont Tokyo, the first Fairmont Hotel & Resort in Japan, is a luxury hotel featuring 217 guest rooms, including 29 suites, five restaurants, two bars, an outdoor terrace, a sky chapel, and a spa. Located on the upper floors of the Blue Front Shibaura Tower S, it offers magnificent panoramic views of Tokyo and expresses the connection between the city and the waterfront through its spatial design. Our company was responsible for concept design of the Japanese specialty restaurant on the 36th floor and The View Suite, a suite located on the same floor.

OMO5 Yokohama Bashamichi by Hoshino Resorts, a hotel that inherits the history of Bashamichi in Yokohama and serves as a hub in the sky, has opened (January 15, 2026). In a short period of less than a year from planning to completion, our company was in charge of everything from concept design and design to construction. The concept is "CRUISE SHIP," and the entire space is infused with the romance and playfulness of sailing. On the 46th floor, the public space takes advantage of the limitations imposed by the mix of existing tenants and public open space to create a circulating flow that envisions the entire floor as the "interior of a ship." By visiting lounges reminiscent of the bow of a ship, mirror decks that amplify the night view, galleries, and theaters, we have created an exhilarating "shipboard experience." In the guest room design, we have made the most of the existing feature of having an attached kitchen and proposed "ship cabins" where guests can spend intimate time with friends. We have cherished the density that can be created precisely because of the limited space, and have finished it as a functional yet rich space. The design, which reflects the colors and fonts associated with the Hikawa Maru, a ship representative of Yokohama, acts as a switch that shifts your perspective from a voyage above the clouds to a deep dive into the city.

TAKANAWA GATEWAY CITY, a town directly connected to JR Takanawa Gateway Station, and THE LINKPILLAR 1 SOUTH, a skyscraper located directly in front of the station, boast an exceptional location with excellent access not only to major areas of central Tokyo but also to Haneda and Narita airports and Shinagawa Station. Located on the 23rd to 30th floors of the building, the JW Marriott Hotel Tokyo is the second JW Marriott brand hotel in Japan, bearing the name of its founder, J. Willard Marriott, and is one of the most prestigious brands among the more than 30 brands operated by Marriott International. Our company was in charge of the interiors construction of the public areas, including the lobby, restaurants & bars, pool, and banquet halls, of the JW Marriott Hotel Tokyo, which had its grand opening on October 2, 2025. To embody concept design of Yabu Pushelberg, an internationally acclaimed concept design studio that has worked on numerous luxury hotels including Marriott, we spent over three years collaborating with Project Management and local architects.

Loisir Hotel Shinagawa Seaside is located on an upper floor, with the front desk and conference rooms on the 16th floor and guest rooms on the 17th to 22nd floors, comprising seven floors in total. In this renovation, our company was responsible for renovating 50 guest rooms on the 18th floor. Taking advantage of the characteristics of the location and focusing on its excellent access to tourist attractions, we reflected concept design in the first experience of guests' stay. Based on the concept of "the space where the first step of a journey begins," we subdivided the stay experience and added concept design to that "first action," aiming to create a space where guests can feel hospitality. In addition, to take advantage of the unique scenery of the area, we incorporated the colors of the container terminal in the port area that spreads out in front of the hotel into the FF&E (Food, Fun, and Ease) area, integrating the outside scenery into the space as borrowed scenery.

We exhibited "Being: The Existence of Furniture" at "DESIGNART TOKYO 2024," Japan's largest concept design and art festival (theme: "Reframing - The Beginning of Transformation -"). "Being: The Existence of Furniture" is a project that reconsiders the relationship between people and objects. In our projects concept design spaces, we create many objects every day, but behind the scenes, we feel a great challenge in that these objects are discarded or left unused even though they are still perfectly usable. When we consider situations where an object is used carefully for a long time, a relationship is often formed in which an attachment to the object sprouts. At such times, we realize that we have gone from a feeling of "owning and using" the object to a feeling of caring for it and "being together" with it. Therefore, we thought that noticing this change in feeling might be one way to solve the problem. The furniture presented in the project is not particularly sturdy or functionally superior. Rather, it has a certain instability and capriciousness, and possesses a nature that makes you want to care for it. If furniture transforms from something that "exists" to something that "is there," how will we interact with it? Through a series of experimental concept design in this project, we pose a question to society about the transformation of value between people and objects. Our company's vision is to "unlock all possibilities of space starting from the 'creativity' of each individual," and we are committed to creating spaces that enrich people's lives. As part of this, we challenge the social issues we face from a creative perspective and continue to exhibit at concept design events both domestically and internationally to create a cycle of communication, exchange, and innovation through output.

Set against the backdrop of 1920s America during the construction era, this bar is based on the "speakeasy" culture of that time, where alcohol was illegally sold under the guise of beauty salons or law offices. JANAI HOTEL is the third location in the "JANAI" series of secret bars, incorporating the speakeasy mechanism, creating a gathering place only for those who find the concept intriguing. Opening a painting that doesn't look like a door leads to a secret bar accessible only to those who decipher the access code. Our company was responsible for design, layout, and architectural design.

The pediatric department entrance on the first floor and the treatment room on the fifth floor of the Maternal and Child Medical Center at the Jikei University Hospital were renovated to create a space that would make the hospital more appealing and familiar to children and their guardians. This project was initiated by Professor Kimihiko Oishi, medical director and head of the Pediatrics Department at the Jikei University Hospital, who, based on his experience working in the medical field in the United States, felt that the current space in the hospital was new and beautiful, but was it a comfortable place for children? What about their families? And what about the staff who work there? Sega Sammy Holdings agreed with the desire of Professor Oishi and the pediatric ward staff to "enrich the lives of children in the hospital," and decided to support the Jikei University Hospital through content and Sega characters.

This is a renovation project for the Courtyard by Marriott Ginza Tobu Hotel. Since its opening, it has been a turning point in the times, and this project aims to evolve the hotel into a new kind by improving comfort and planning distinctive hotel restaurants. The plan is to maintain the appeal of a full-service hotel with accommodation, banquet, and restaurant functions, while also capturing the recovery of inbound tourism demand in the post-COVID era. To upgrade both functionality and concept design, the entire hotel was closed for the first time since its opening for a major renovation. In this renovation, the concept was "GINZA CONTRAST," and the charm of Ginza lies in its duality: "a city where you can enjoy special occasions such as sightseeing, theater, and shopping, with a sense of glamour and classic style," and "a city that blends into your daily life and has the goodness of being used as a matter of course, accompanying you in your life." While valuing the combination of both, the project proposes a new way to enjoy and spend time at the hotel, where visitors can move freely and casually without clearly separating "work" and "play," "friends" and "yourself," and "travel" and "life." Our company was responsible for restaurant concept development, tenant leasing, interiors design and design supervision for guest rooms, restaurants, and bars, as well as interiors construction.

Located in the Maihama-Shin-Urayasu area of Chiba Prefecture, "1955 Tokyo Bay by Hoshino Resorts" is a 638-room hotel concept design with the concept of "OLDIES GOODIES," inspired by the American worldview of around 1955. It offers convenient and comfortable hotel services for theme park trips, including restaurants where guests can enjoy freshly prepared meals late at night or early in the morning, a 24-hour public space called "2nd Room," and rooms and amenities that are safe and comfortable even with children. The hotel also offers a variety of room types, with interiors featuring concept design and colors reminiscent of America at the time, creating a space that can be used by families, couples, friends, and groups of all ages and for diverse occasions. Our company has been involved in the creation of spaces for many of the brands handled by Hoshino Resorts, such as "Hoshinoya," "Kai," and "OMO," and participated in this facility from the conceptual stage. We were comprehensively in charge of everything from formulating the spatial concept that forms the core of the branding, to art direction, design, layout, and construction.

Orque d'Or Salon AOYAMA is a members-only salon for the wealthy run by Tokai Tokyo Financial Group. Planned in Aoyama as the third location following Nagoya in 2016 and Nihonbashi, Tokyo in 2019, the facility has been created with the concept of a new "social space that stimulates the curiosity of adults" that connects "wealthy" members with "start-up entrepreneurs". Aiming to create a salon that welcomes more customers with multifaceted and memorable surprises, we have created a one-of-a-kind atmosphere where you can enjoy spatiality, art, sustainability, and craftsmanship.
