This is a value-enhancing renovation project for an office building located in a corner of Kanda Ogawacho, approximately 20 years old. The main areas of renovation are part of the exterior facade and building signage, the first-floor entrance, and the common areas on the standard floors (4th floor). The overall concept design concept is "Timeless & Biophilic concept design *". By making good use of the existing granite space, the amount of waste disposal due to demolition was minimized, and concept design was made cost-effective while being mindful of sustainability by fusing old and good materials with new materials. *Biophilic concept design: Design and methods that allow people in a space to feel a connection with nature. [Social Issues/Client Issues/Requests] As the building was over 20 years old, the outdated concept design of the entrance and other areas, as well as the decline in competitiveness within the area, were concerns for the future. In addition, since the building's entrance does not face the main street, the main traffic flow had a somewhat alley-like impression, and there was room for improvement in terms of the building's visibility. Based on these challenges, this project required improving the competitiveness and visibility of the property through renovations to the entrance, facade, and some standard floors. [Solution] To soften the previously dark, back-alley feel of the facade, dynamic wood-grain louvers and indirect lighting were newly installed to create a brighter building face. Inside the entrance, two different textures, glass and natural wood, were used to refresh the old-fashioned feel and aim to improve the morale of the people working there. Sanitary equipment such as toilets and kitchenettes on the office floors were also renovated to meet new standards such as antibacterial properties. Through these comprehensive renovations, the aim is to make the entire building a safe and comfortable place for the people who work there. [Customer Feedback] We are grateful to all the sales, designers, and construction staff at NOMURA Co.,Ltd. for working together as a team on this project, which has now been successfully completed. We appreciate the meticulous support at each phase. We feel that the renovated facade and entrance are functioning perfectly as the new face of the building. <Our Project Members> [Development] Takuya Kitai [Sales & Project Management] Masahiro Harada, Kayu Tatsumi [Research] Wataru Takada [design, layout] Hiroyuki Nii, Sayaka Miyane, Hitoshi Igarashi [Production & construction] Mai Sakai, Tomokuni Hasegawa, Fumiya Sasaki

「非住宅空間における空気質の課題」「ビジネスパートナーと共創する場」「空質7要素を制御した最新のプロトタイプを体感」の3つのテーマを軸にパナソニックの空質空調商品のソリューション拡大を目的とした実験施設です。この場所を通じて”風”を実際に体感し、共創・開発によって顧客ニーズに寄り添うソリューションの推進につなげています。空質空調ソリューションとしてさまざまなロケーションに合わせて風を感じることができるよう、グループワークシート、ミーティングスペース、個室ブースが揃っており、場面ごとの“風”体感を可能としています。この施設の活用が共創を促進させ、さらには人間中心の商品開発プロセスの実践につながることを目的としています。 【社会課題／お客様の課題／ご要望】 空質空調ソリューションの領域を広げるべく、最新商品の優れた特徴をより魅力的に伝えるための場所づくりについてのご要望をいただきました。 【解決策】 外光の注ぐガラス面ファサードを生かし、木目、石目など自然要素を感じさせるマテリアルを使って空間を構成し、ソリューションである“風”が重なった際により心地よく感じられる空間づくりを目指しました。内装構成要素のひとつとして“風”の有効性についても訴求できるよう工夫をしています。また各ブースやエリアに組み込まれた空質空調ソリューションに関しても単なる展示としてだけではなく、実際に打ち合わせやワークスペースとしても使いやすいようにレイアウトやゾーニングにも配慮しています。 【お客様の声】 木目、石目などの自然要素を感じるマテリアルをバランスよく提案いただいたことで、植栽を入れた際に植栽が空間になじみ、風と調和してウェルビーイング（Well-being）を感じられる空間が実現できました。また、実際に社員で利用してみて、心地よく、過ごしやすいレイアウトを実感できました。 ＜当社プロジェクトメンバー＞ 【営業・プロジェクトマネジメント】ノムラメディアス：佐藤 光 【デザイン・設計】森 浩昭 【制作・施工】ノムラメディアス：河端 利明、佐野 和浩

This project involves "MID POINT Musashi Kosugi" (Nakahara-ku, Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture), newly established in July 2020 by Cosmos Initia Co., Ltd., a member of the Daiwa House Group, as the third installment of their "MID POINT" rental office concept that realizes "living and working in close proximity." Our company was in charge of concept design, schematic design, working drawings, and construction. Located in "Kosugi 3rd Avenue," a multi-purpose complex just a 2-minute walk from Musashi Kosugi Station, it boasts an excellent location for both work and business meetings. In addition to the traditional workspace, the lounge also includes a kitchen equipped with tableware and cooking utensils, making it a space that can be used not only for purely business purposes but also for events held by contract holders. Furthermore, a cafe is attached, which is open to the community and can be used by people who do not have a contract with MID POINT. Our company also handled the following stores.・MID POINT Omori (Opened February 2022) ・MID POINT Shibuya Shinsen (Opened December 2021) ・MID POINT Kawasaki (Opened April 2021) ・MID POINT Meguro Fudomae (Opened November 2018) [Social Issues / Customer Issues / Requests] The request was to secure sufficient office space and rooms while also having a cafe on the first floor and a lounge space that is easy for contract holders to use. [Solution] By consolidating the kitchen and water facilities in the center of the first floor, we increased space efficiency while zoning to secure the maximum number of seats for the cafe and lounge. In addition, by making the kitchen a counter kitchen, concept design separates the cafe and office space while allowing the entire space to be seen. [Customer Feedback] As the third MID POINT location, they upgraded the existing location while also achieving an excellent balance in incorporating a cafe, which was a new initiative. Furthermore, despite the challenging floor plan, they adjusted the layout to ensure a comfortable living space while securing rental income. <Our Project Members> ・MID POINT Musashi-Kosugi [Sales/Project Management] Shima Keita [design, layout] Ni'i Hiroyuki, Miyane Sayaka [Production and construction] Hirano Kentaro [Planning and Operational Advice] Suzuki Saeko, Nomura Naoki ・MID POINT Omori [Sales/Project Management] Kobori Takashi, Shima Keita, Ichikura Mizuki [Planning] Sugimoto Taku [concept design Direction] Kashiwase Hisako, Eto Sayaka ・MID POINT Shibuya-Shinsen [Sales/Project Management] Kobori Takashi, Shima Keita, Ichikura Mizuki [Planning] Sugimoto Taku

This project involved the renovation of the headquarters of NICE Co., Ltd., Head Office that distributes timber and building materials, to coincide with its 70th anniversary. Our company was selected as the winner of a proposal competition. Based on the concept of "Knowing trees and communicating about wood," we aimed to create a facility that contributes to building a brighter society with wood, by establishing a base where wood specialists can gather and creating a sustainable cycle centered on wood, thereby further revitalizing the distribution of wood. The 1st and 2nd floors, where visitors are welcomed, and the 8th floor, which houses the reception rooms, were considered spaces that can appeal to customers, and were concept design using NICE's original wood products as materials. In the lobby, dynamic wooden columns that extend to the high ceiling of the atrium and vertical blinds made of lace material attached to large glass windows gently block views from the outside world, and scattered glass lamps represent sunlight filtering through trees, creating a welcoming space that makes the most of the large space. On the 7th floor, where employees gather, we have created a meeting room and library corner where employees can enjoyably and spontaneously engage with "trees," making it a craftsman's space where technology can be gathered and accessed. By creating spaces for concentration and spaces that encourage active communication, we have created a flexible spatial configuration that supports the working style of each employee. [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] The specific concept design for this renovation were to create an office environment that symbolizes sustainability, such as "decarbonization and wood utilization," and to share values, as well as improve communication during the COVID-19 pandemic. [Solution] In order to realize the strong desire for wood utilization, we communicated closely with the project manager at Nice Co., Ltd. and the person in charge at their own factory, and proceeded with concept design while deciding on materials and wood colors. In the employee communication area, we intentionally created a spatial configuration without boundaries, and the area is softly divided with furniture such as family restaurant benches and solo desks for focused work, centered around a curved bookshelf. By using an OA floor, we have provided functionality that enables flexible working styles. [Customer Feedback] Thanks to NOMURA Co.,Ltd. 's involvement, we were able to create a sophisticated and tranquil hospitality space reminiscent of a hotel lobby, something we would never have conceived on our own. This time, they used a variety of our company's products and tree species as materials. Where this could have easily resulted in a disjointed impression, they exquisitely harmonized the characteristics of each tree species with the space, realizing a wood-based renovation befitting a company rooted in "wood." We are deeply grateful to NOMURA Co.,Ltd. for their high level concept design and technical expertise. <Our Project Members> [Development] Takuya Kitai [Sales & Project Promotion] Takuya Kitai, Midori Nakayabu, Seishun Yoshii [design, layout] Sachiko Taihiji, Nao Hiura [Production & construction] Ryowa Hirowatari, Nozomi Iwashita, Nohara Kikuchi

It also conveys a sense of dignity as a consulting company originating in Japan and hopes that the company will survive for 100 years. In order to express the "history" and "near future" characteristic of BBS, the "history" is expressed with wooden ribs of different sizes, which are the base material of the entire space. In contrast to the wooden ribs, a central light box is placed in the center of the floor to express the future, using original glass film with delicate lines and indirect lighting. < our company Project Members > [Sales/Project Management] Keishi Kawashima [Planning/Design Direction] Hisako Kashiwase [Planning/concept design] Sayaka Eto [Production Management] Yusuke Yamazaki

This is a renovation project for the Toyobo Building, located along the Dojima River in Osaka, an area brimming with charm thanks to its numerous historical buildings and abundant nature. The Dojima River is a representative river of Osaka, known as the "City of Water," and the aim was to create a space where people can work vibrantly while enjoying the pleasant atmosphere of this location. The plaza features an exterior design that makes it seem as if a riverside deck extends to the building, and a swaying willow tree is placed as a symbolic tree, allowing people to visually feel the river breeze. The facade incorporates concept design inspired by the grandeur of the Dojima River and the density of its waves. The building's exterior walls are wrapped in a soft wave design to harmonize with the building while also aiming to become a new symbol of the city. The lobby lounge's design harmonizes with the facade, creating continuity between the interior and exterior, and comfort is created by employing various types of sofas and original acoustics. In addition, visual art that visualizes the outside environment, such as temperature and wind, is applied to the central pillar, creating an atmosphere where the pleasantness of the river breeze can be felt indoors. Each floor features photographs of the Dojima River, showcasing its diverse expressions, while the restrooms are adorned with original artwork that delicately depicts waves, creating a different color palette on each floor that will surprise visitors.

Toyo Seikan Group Holdings Co., Ltd. manufactures a variety of packaging containers utilizing materials such as metal, plastic, paper, and glass, and as one of the world's leading comprehensive container manufacturers, has provided products that support every aspect of people's lives. As part of the renovation project for the Innovation Gallery on the 15th floor of Head Office, the facility was concept design with the concept of "a place where various information and people that will be triggers for daily life, work, and the future meet and communicate." [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] Through this renovation, the Innovation Gallery was to become an information dissemination facility that creates and revitalizes dialogue with customers. The facility was to be recognized both internally and externally as a place where the latest information on packaging containers can be obtained, by disseminating information on the core technologies of each company in the Toyo Seikan Group, as well as the latest technologies and initiatives. These were the requests we received. [Solution] A topic displays corner was set up to disseminate the "present" of packaging containers through the latest technologies and initiatives, and a modular concept design was adopted to create a system that is easy to operate in a timely manner. In addition, a core technology displays corner was set up for each group company, and the spatial concept design was created to intuitively convey the "core technologies" that are the strengths of each company and the "overall strength" of the Toyo Seikan Group. <Our Project Members> [Sales & Project Management] Yoshiki Yamada [Planning] Atsuro Iizuka [design, layout] Kaoru Ueda, Akika Yamada, Daishin Terumine [Production & construction] Takashi Kodama

Since opening as a whisky museum in 1998, the number of visitors has exceeded 600,000, partly due to the airing of dramas and the arrival of the highball boom. However, due to the aging of the facilities and the fact that the way displays are presented is no longer in line with the times, a review of the entire Yoichi Distillery visitor facilities has been undertaken, and as the first phase of the plan, the old whisky hall of the facility will be renovated. The Yoichi Distillery is an important point of contact where visitors can experience Nikka, and it can be said to be a sacred place for whisky fans. However, the previous visitor facilities were not at a level commensurate with its importance, and the fact that they had not kept up with the changes and evolution of the world was a major challenge for this renovation. The main theme of the renovation is to create a story about the ideal whisky making of founder Masataka Taketsuru, or Yoichi as the origin of Nikka, and how it started here and is moving towards the future, thereby fostering understanding and empathy for the Nikka brand. [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] ① The purpose of the renovation is to further improve the level of understanding and satisfaction of visitors, increase the number of Nikka fans, and strengthen the brand. 2) In line with the growing popularity of whiskey, displays will be renovated to accommodate the expanding user base and diversifying visitor needs. 3) Multilingual support will be reorganized to accommodate the increase in foreign visitors. 4) The main target audience will be customers who are interested in whiskey. 5) displays everything from basic aspects such as the manufacturing process to details and trivia, but will not be comprehensive; the key points should be intuitively understandable. These were the requests. [Solution] In designing this project, we made a major shift in thinking from the previous whiskey museum, which was a general and comprehensive place for providing information about whiskey, and tried a completely new displays approach. Based on the concept of "Discovering the essence of Nikka Whisky through the brand stories of Nikka's four products," we focused on four brands that represent Nikka and created an displays experience based on each brand story. The aim was to create an experience where visitors could learn about the essence of Nikka Whisky and basic whiskey knowledge while following the brand stories. displays incorporates, for the first time, highly anticipated displays for whiskey fans, including video interviews with various people working at the distillery and an introduction to the important role of blenders. displays explanations include trivia information for the main target audience, as well as numerous displays that delve into the secrets of the manufacturing process that shape the individuality of the products. For multilingual support, displays explanations are primarily in Japanese and English, and to accommodate the largest group of visitors from China, we have introduced digital technology that allows them to read translated explanations on their personal mobile phones. <Our Project Members> [Sales/Project Management] Tadayuki Matsubara [Creative Direction] Keiyu Tamura [concept design Direction] Fujie Suzuki [concept design Planning] Akika Yamada, Kensaku Shiroto [Planning] Tomoko Yanagihara, Atsuro Iizuka [Production] Tsukasa Iwasaki, Ikumo Umemoto

Panasonic Laboratory Tokyo (hereinafter referred to as PLT) has been renovated as a Tokyo R&D hub that practices new ways of working in the With/After COVID-19 environment. PLT was established in Ariake, Koto-ku, Tokyo in April 2016, and then moved to its current location in Shiodome Hamarikyu in December 2018. As the "Human-Tech Research Institute," it has been operated as a "co-creation lab" that conducts collaborative innovation activities such as AI-HUB and Robotics-HUB, which involve collaboration with both internal and external partners, centered around engineers who develop advanced technologies that are close to people. In the With/After COVID-19 environment, we have re-evaluated the values and functions required of the office, taking into account the fact that it has been positioned as a hub that practices collaborative innovation with both internal and external partners since its inception, and has been redesigned with PLT members based on the concept of "SHARE." "SHARE" means "sharing" various things such as "thoughts and experiences," "information and context," and "colleagues and encounters" of the people who work together at PLT. PLT is using its office renovation as a new "SHARE" starting point, and as an R&D hub for "questioning, feeling, and sharing" well-being in daily life and work, as well as an office that will revitalize co-creation innovation activities, it is a facility that aims to be constantly updated with the tenants taking the lead. <Our Project Members> [Sales/Project Management] Ryo Sugaya [Planning/ concept design] Sayaka Koga, Ryosuke Naga, eiei haymanmyint [Production/ construction] Yosuke Ito

The Fukushima City Creative Business Salon Development Project was a public proposal competition held in July 2021, and our Tokyo Head Office was awarded the contract, with the Tohoku Branch taking over the design. The project involved renovating the permanent displays room of the Fukushima City Industrial Exchange Plaza on the second floor of Corasse Fukushima, a complex facility adjacent to JR Fukushima Station West Exit, to create a new business exchange hub with coworking spaces and shared offices, aiming to renovate the facility into a comfortable space for business people, freelancers, and university students. The area covers approximately 755 square meters. Fukushima is particularly known for its vibrant photography scene, and a gallery displays the rich natural beauty and seasonal landscapes of the area, as well as cultural and artistic works reflecting the rich sensibilities of Fukushima residents, was installed on the wall of the coworking space. concept design concept for the salon is the "Four Seasons Gallery," combining Fukushima's seasonal events with the rich sense of color of its people. It is a gallery created together with the citizens of Fukushima, designed to provide a more relaxing space for viewing art. [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] While a spacious layout was required in light of the post-COVID era, there was also a need for zoning that considered profitability and securing sufficient seating. The shared office, business networking space, coworking space, and meeting rooms each required different environmental tastes for the floor, walls, and ceilings, as well as a layout and furniture selection that would suit the needs of various users, such as business people, freelancers, and university students, to ensure the facility could be used comfortably by everyone. [Solution] As a creative space for generating new businesses, we leveraged the large area of the facility and developed the entire space into two zones with different images. The business networking space is an active, bright, natural, and comfortable cafe-like zone, with white as the base color for the walls and floor of the corporate PR displays, creating an environment that evokes the warmth of wood, and furnished with easily movable furniture to suit various uses such as seminars and networking events. The coworking space is a calm lounge zone, with gray as the base color, and a contrasting environment created by using dark brown and dark-colored wood on niche walls, and furnished with furniture that suits the diverse needs of individuals, such as comfortable sofas, large tables, and counter seats for focused work. Furthermore, to foster connections with the local community and build a stronger sense of community, we aimed to enhance the functionality of the corporate PR displays displays and add the "Shikisai Gallery," which will be created in collaboration with the citizens of Fukushima, thereby aiming to create new connections between the people who use the facility and the city. <Our Project Members> [Development] Akihiko Nishimura [Sales/Project Management] Keisuke Yoshida [design, layout] Takayuki Kobayashi, Kenichi Suzuki, Makio Miura [Design Management] Kazunobu Nakamura [Production/ construction] Johei Saito

COLOPL, Inc. has been creating unprecedented "new experiences" under its mission of "Entertainment in Real Life"—making everyday life more enjoyable and wonderful through entertainment. In the midst of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we believed that creating an environment that facilitates communication, in addition to a safe working environment, was crucial to continuing to provide people with new experiences. Therefore, we created an office that aims to be a "cutting-edge infection control-focused office based on scientific evidence." We have created an environment where employees can increase their productivity and thrive by streamlining operations and fostering the creation of original ideas in line with the new era. Linoleum, an antiviral natural material and carbon-neutral material, is used for flooring and furniture, contributing to the realization of a sustainable society that takes SDGs and ESG into consideration. We have aimed to improve the motivation and productivity of creators with features that encourage communication, such as standing meeting spaces, a game corner equipped for use in research and development, and a bear library with a wide range of books. DE-SIGN Inc. was in charge of overall project management, SIGNAL Inc. was in charge of concept design, and our company was mainly in charge of interiors, furniture, and signage graphics construction. <Our Project Members> [Sales & Project Management] Kaori Murakami [Production & construction] Katsuya Banno, Nozomi Iwashita, Ikuho Oiwa

This is a new office relocation project for Growth Ex Partners Co., Ltd., a company that provides DX support for businesses. The company has moved Head Office to a high-rise floor on the 48th floor of the Shinjuku Nomura Building, and aims to create a "place where employees can be happy and improve performance." The basic concept of the new office is not just a place to work, but a plaza-like space where all employees can gather and where communication spaces that promote encounters and discoveries can be fostered. [Social Issues/Client Issues/Requests] The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically changed our lives, with more people working and eating at home and flexible working styles becoming possible, but at the same time, the very existence of the office has been questioned. While it is possible to work without problems remotely, the president still wanted "everyone to come to the office." The new office needed to be a place where coming to work is enjoyable and motivation and engagement are enhanced. [Solution] Rather than just an office as a place to work, we explored and designed an office that "has communication at its core, where people naturally want to gather." The office is filled with features that encourage proactive action and serve as catalysts for communication, such as a lounge space where people can work as if they were playing, and a space where furniture layouts can be freely customized according to the purpose. To foster employee pride and boost motivation, we boldly placed artwork by Leslie David, a rising art director active in Paris, throughout the entire space, making coming to work a more enjoyable experience. Combining the image of an "agora," symbolizing a gathering place, with the location on the 48th floor, we proposed the original name "Sky AGORA." <Our Project Members> [Sales/Project Management] Hiroki Nekota [Planning] Kenta Masubuchi [design, layout] Manabu Yamanobe, Tomoya Sato, Shunsuke Ami [Production/ construction] Kazuiso Yoshimura

Our company was responsible for the planning, design, layout, and construction of "Yao Daiichi Shokudo Isshoku," the employee cafeteria that opened on November 1, 2021, at Sharp Corporation's (hereinafter: Sharp) Yao Plant. In proposing the project, we focused not just on creating a stylish space, but on "a proposal that only Nomura could make," proposing a cafeteria that would serve as an internal branding space where people could discover "SHARP's essence" across organizational boundaries and generations, while also serving as an external branding space that could be experienced by visiting business partners and affiliated companies. We implemented three zoning areas: lunch, work, and salon, and designed the cafeteria not only as an employee cafeteria, but also as a place where people can relax, hold meetings with internal and external guests, and connect and communicate. A single red line (Sharp Red) runs through the cafeteria, representing Sharp's history to date and its future. For this project, we considered concept design that would preserve the characteristics of the Yao Plant, which has a history of approximately 65 years as a production base for white goods, while also ensuring hygiene. Furthermore, by utilizing the mezzanine floor, which was previously used for the production line of manufactured products, as displays space for SHARP's iconic historical products, we also implemented an SDG-oriented initiative that reduced waste and removal costs. [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] We received a request to create a space that would revitalize internal connections, as communication between business divisions was weak. [Solution] We proposed a space that could be used not just as a place to eat, but also as a "place to work" and a "place to relax." We also proposed displays past products as a "place where communication among employees can be revitalized and where they can feel and discover SHARP's history." <Our Project Members> [Sales/Project Management] Yui Takahashi [design, layout] Shota Umetani, Ryo Yamato, Yusuke Nakamura, Ayaka Miura [Production Management] Yoshitsugu Mukoyama ~Related Links~ [Announcement] ・ NOMURA Co.,Ltd.
