This is the first MUJI HOTEL project in Japan, based on the concept of "anti-gorgeous, anti-cheap." The building, with a total floor area of over 9,000 square meters, houses the flagship store "MUJI Ginza" from the basement to the 6th floor, and "MUJI HOTEL GINZA" from the 6th to the 10th floor, making it a global flagship store where the world of MUJI comes together. Our company was in charge of construction of ATELIER MUJI GINZA on the 6th floor and the hotel lobby and restaurant of MUJI HOTEL GINZA. <Client's Request> In order to embody the world view that Ryohin Keikaku has cultivated over the years and the designer's vision, a lot of time was spent selecting interiors materials and deciding on the plan. As a construction company, we understood their approach, but our challenge and the client's request was to complete the project within the predetermined period. <Solution> In order to achieve the best results within the limited time, we held countless meetings with UDS and aimed to bring their vision to life. While completing the project within the given timeframe was a "request," it was only thanks to the cooperation of Ryohin Keikaku and UDS that we were able to achieve this. <Our Project Members> [Sales/Project Management] Taisuke Kawagishi [Production/ construction] Soji Wakasugi, Yoshito Hamabe, Naoto Higashiyamazaki, Yuna Kawai, Ryohei Sakaki

Based on the concept of "Road to Wazuka," a place that makes you want to visit Wazuka Town, a famous tea-producing area located an hour from Kyoto City, we have renovated a Kyoto townhouse over 70 years old, located within a 10-minute drive from Kyoto Station, into a lodging facility available for rent as a whole unit. Our company participated in the townhouse renovation from the planning stage and was in charge of spatial production. We are challenging ourselves with a new spatial endeavor of "sending visitors from the city center to the countryside," and the various methods used to achieve this have ultimately become differentiating factors from other Kyoto townhouse lodging facilities. This opening project was carried out in collaboration with a team consisting of "NAZUNA," which handles the operation of lodging using townhouses, "Kiraku Japan," which provides financial support for the renovation of old houses, "Crowd Realty," which conducts real estate crowdfunding, and our company, which handles planning and concept design. Furthermore, the opening funds were raised through crowdfunding. Individual investors and participating companies who sympathize with the concept of "Road to Wazuka" and have a desire to contribute to the town and introduce Japanese culture to the world are working together to solve regional issues. <Our Project Members> [Space Production] Yasutoshi Yamano [concept design (interiors)] Takaaki Tani [Furniture and Decoration Coordination] Saki Ninomiya [Development] Nobuyuki Yagi [Sales] Yuji Takataka [Client's Challenges/Requests] (1) They want to renovate a Kyoto townhouse into accommodation mainly targeting foreign tourists. (2) They want to leverage a story-driven concept that is different from the many Kyoto townhouses that exist in the city. (3) The owner, who runs a cafe on the same premises that serves Wazuka tea, wants to promote the charm of Wazuka town. [Solution] We have prepared features within the facility that will make people want to visit Wazuka town. The bedroom, which is themed after the scenery of Wazuka town with rocks and a dry landscape garden, allows you to experience what it's like to sleep on the land of Wazuka town. The tea stand on the second floor is made by repurposing a tea box that was used in Wazuka town, allowing you to touch the real thing. Similarly, the wall graphics on the second floor are based on the patterns that were used on wooden boxes when tea was exported from Wazuka Town overseas at the time, and the fabric used is Nishijin-ori from Kyoto. The lighting in the atrium space was also created using light-blocking sheets used in the process of producing kabusecha tea in Wazuka Town. The space was designed as a "lodging-type antenna shop that fosters the motivation to want to go to fascinating places that have not yet been seen." In addition, an illustrated instruction manual was prepared to convey the features incorporated into the space to guests, and software was also created to help guests experience it. [Customer's voice] We feel that the concept and high level of concept design devised by NOMURA Co.,Ltd. resonated with the investors in this project, leading to the realization of an unprecedented lodging facility.

Hoshino Resorts' new concept, "OMO," a hotel specializing in urban tourism, was launched in the spring of 2018. The first hotel to open under this new concept, "OMO7 Asahikawa," is a rebranding project of a long-established local hotel. The brand concept is "An urban tourism hotel that elevates the excitement of travel, not just a place to sleep."

[Project Description] This project involves converting a traditional Japanese house located in Obi, Nichinan City, Miyazaki Prefecture, into accommodation. Obi was designated in 1977 as the first Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings in the Kyushu and Okinawa region, and is an area where buildings with a sense of unity line the streets. Therefore, the exterior design had to be renovated with the premise of harmonizing with the landscape from a preservation standpoint. So, the aim was to create a facility that would attract many visitors by giving the interior design a high degree of concept design freedom and using distinctive furniture and decorations. Furthermore, on January 28, 2017, Nichinan City and NOMURA Co.,Ltd. signed a comprehensive cooperation agreement to realize town development in line with Nichinan City's concept of "Creating Customers and Creating People." On October 10, 2018, as part of the cooperation agreement, they signed the "Regional Revitalization Business Personnel Exchange Program," and dispatched Kyohei Yamano, a creative talent who handles spatial production, to Nichinan City to work on regional revitalization. Together with Nichinan City, related companies, and various other players, we are working on regional revitalization, including the creation of the "Guidelines for Town Development for the Regeneration of the Obi District of Nichinan City," the "DENKEN WEEK (Traditional Building Week)" event aimed at the development of the historic townscape, and the production of spaces in old houses. [Client's Challenges/Requests] (1) We want to renovate an old house into accommodation mainly targeting foreign tourists. (2) We want to incorporate elements unique to the region as a strength of the accommodation business. (3) We want to create a space that makes people feel the essence of Japan. [Solution] Old houses are one of the spaces where Japanese lifestyle and culture, or "lifestyle," are most concentrated. In this renovation plan, we wanted to make the most of elements that convey the scenery of the past, such as pillars, beams, and ceilings, and make the other elements into a space that can be comfortably used by people of today. Therefore, the overall concept is "Post-Heritage: Transformation for Inheritance and Weaving into the Next Generation," and we are exploring a new way of inheriting culture. Regarding tools, we followed a consistent selection theme, and without being limited to traditional techniques, we composed of items that weave together Japan through various approaches. As a result, we believe that this accommodation provides an inspiring experience that sparks interest in Japan for foreign visitors and instills pride in Japan in domestic tourists. <Our Project Members> [Space Production] Yasutoshi Yamano [Furniture and Decoration Coordination] Yasutoshi Yamano [concept design (interiors)] Yukio Kazusaka [Development] Nobuyuki Yagi [Sales] Toshiyuki Shirai ・Release: Nichinan City, Miyazaki Prefecture and NOMURA Co.,Ltd. conclude a "Comprehensive Cooperation Agreement on Regional Revitalization" https://www.nomurakougei.co.jp/uploads/news/attachments/1/bd685168ce469eb3f8f63ef2a5fe43c89bbc9af85df83d352763aa2eeb42e9cf.pdf ・Release: Nichinan City, Miyazaki Prefecture and NOMURA Co.,Ltd. sign "Regional Revitalization Business Personnel Exchange Program" https://www.nomurakougei.co.jp/uploads/news/attachments/1/aa565bf338f37cd539f269b55ea67caf32e4e527800fa28c89557f39ddf51f19.pdf Other achievements: DENKEN PJM https://www.nomurakougei.co.jp/achievements/detail/409

[Project Description] This project involves the renovation of 148 guest rooms across 4 floors and 22 floors of corridors. Hilton Fukuoka Seahawk is an iconic symbol of the "Seaside Momochi district," which has been selected as one of Japan's 100 best urban landscapes, and its architectural shape is based on the concept of "a large ship setting sail on Hakata Bay." In this renovation, we aimed to create a Hilton Fukuoka that would be loved by people all over the world for a long time, using the comfort of being on a ship and the view of the sea from the deck as motifs, and imagining the way people interact, stemming from the connections between people in Hakata Bay, which has long been a link to exchanges with foreign countries. We aimed to concept design a Hilton Fukuoka that would be loved by people all over the world for a long time, using forms and compositions that arise from "interaction," materials that evoke the feeling of a "ship's cabin," and the colors of "white sand and green pines" unique to Hakata Bay. [Client's Challenges/Requests] The challenge was to make the guest rooms flexibly usable for various guests, including business travelers, leisure travelers, inbound tourists, and MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) guests. The long corridors needed to be concept design in a way that would not give guests a monotonous impression. [Solution] We incorporated a mechanism into the headboard of the bed in the guest rooms, allowing it to be moved towards the center, enabling the room to be arranged as either a twin or Hollywood twin room according to guest requests. In the corridor, the intersecting gradient lines of the carpet represent the trajectory of a ship, with the Hakata Bay side representing the sea, the center representing the sandy beach, and the city side representing the pine forest, creating an impressive concept design that incorporates the colors of the outside scenery into the interior. <Our Project Members> [Sales & Project Management] Masayuki Yoshimori, Nobuko Abe [design, layout] Keita Aono, Naoaki Yokoyama, Jun Watanabe [Production & construction] Takayuki Gara, Mitsuaki Kanayama

[Project Overview] Hilton Tokyo Odaiba offers panoramic views of Tokyo Bay, the Tokyo cityscape, and the Rainbow Bridge. The restaurant on the 3rd floor has been renovated into a banquet hall. While primarily designed for wedding receptions, the venue can be used in a variety of ways to meet the needs of guests. The flexible layout, images projected onto a 22-meter wall, and the expansive Tokyo scenery visible through the windows provide an experience that can only be found here. concept design incorporates the blend of nature and modernity found in the Odaiba landscape, such as the skyline patterns created by the skyscrapers visible from the windows and the bridal room surrounded by the Tokyo Bay scenery through mirrored walls.

[Project Overview] This project involves renovating the guest rooms in the annex and the banquet hall on the first floor of The Prince Hakone Ashinoko into a grill restaurant. The aim was to incorporate the atmosphere of the scenic location, with its lush green mountains, the clear blue waters of Lake Ashi, and the view of Mount Fuji on clear days, into the hotel. [Client's Challenges] The planning involved utilizing the existing layout of the banquet hall on the first floor while coordinating it with the newly constructed open kitchen. The challenge for the guest rooms was to create a sense of renewal while retaining existing elements such as the beds, desks, and wainscoting designs, and adjusting concept design. [Solution] The restaurant's design incorporates calming materials, reflecting its location as a grill restaurant on the shores of Lake Ashi. Furthermore, the use of colors enhances the appeal of grilled dishes, and the space is designed to enhance the lively atmosphere of the newly constructed open kitchen. The guest rooms are designed with the concept of "the nature of Hakone and Lake Ashi," incorporating elements inspired by the scenery of Lake Ashi in Hakone, such as the sparkling water, the lovely flowers blooming along the lakeshore, the beautiful cedar trees, and the fantastical morning mist, to create a relaxing space. <Our Project Members> [Project Management/Sales] Masanori Kogure, Kae Omomo [design, layout] Sachiko Taihiji, Kaori Ogushi, Manami Nagao, Eri Isoyama, Chihiro Kazeto [construction] Tadayuki Mizuno, Taishi Takami

[Project Overview] This project involves renovating the existing guest room building in anticipation of the opening of a new building in July 2017, which will include the "THERMAL SPA S.WAVE" hot spring and spa facility. The aim was to create a seaside resort facility that combines the familiarity unique to Oiso, a historic villa area, with the newness that connects to the new building. [Client's Challenges] The theme was to renovate the existing accommodation building in a way that would enhance the overall appeal of the facility while aligning it with the already ongoing hot spring and spa building project. Another challenge was to transform the facility, which had been focused on summer due to its proximity to Oiso Long Beach, into a year-round resort hotel. [Solution] In Oiso, the birthplace of Shonan, the renovation was based on the concept of "Shonan Luxury," where guests can spend a relaxing and luxurious day feeling the sea and breeze. The goal was to create "the resort hotel closest to the city" by adding not only a swimming pool, but also tennis courts, a golf course, and a bowling alley. By subtly partitioning the entrance hall, lobby, party room, and restaurant areas, and creating spaces that allow for airflow, we renovated the space into a resort where you can feel the ocean no matter where you are. <Our Project Members> [Project Management/Sales] Masanori Kogure, Kae Omomo [design, layout] Sachiko Taihiji, Kaori Ogushi, Eri Isoyama, Chihiro Kazeto [construction] Tadayuki Mizuno, Yusuke Yamada, Naoya Kuwamata, Yui Tanaka

<Project Overview> This project involves renovating the guest rooms (196 rooms), corridors, and elevator halls on the 6th and 7th floors of Hilton Tokyo Bay. We were able to undertake this project as a design and construction project because we won the design work through a design competition and the interior construction and FF&E work through a construction bid. As a result, we were able to provide a space that meets Hilton's quality standards while also being suitable for business travelers in a resort area, all within a limited construction period and budget. <Client's Challenges> Hilton Tokyo Bay primarily caters to guests visiting Tokyo Disney Resort®, offering fun rooms where guests can experience a fantasy world. Therefore, the theme of this renovation was to provide guest rooms where business travelers and adults enjoying themselves can also relax without feeling out of place. <Solution> The view from this location was remarkably similar to the Tokyo Bay depicted in Katsushika Hokusai's ukiyo-e print "Thirty-Six Views of Tomi Musume," so the design concept was to directly express the materials and colors from the ukiyo-e print in the space. We thought that by doing so, the space would become familiar to Japanese people from long ago, while also being a fresh and uniquely Japanese space for foreigners. We used the distinctive blue gradation of Ukiyo-e prints for the floor, wood from ships floating on the sea for the furniture, and copper plates used in lanterns as accent colors, expressing tranquility and peace throughout the entire space. <Our Project Members> [Sales/Project Management] Masayuki Yoshimori [Design/Planning] Keita Aono/Hiroyuki Sugata/Kyoko Aikawa [Production/Construction] Takayuki Gara
