As part of vitalization business for the redevelopment of Senri Chuo Park, we renovated the architecture, interiors, and landscape of the former park management office and planned a facility that would be created in collaboration with local residents, reflecting their vision for Senri Chuo Park. Based on the "three O's" (Open, Ordinary, Organic) of the PLAY 100ORE SCENES concept, our company collaborated on the planning, design, layout, construction, and park vitalization business planning and operation for "SEN℃," a cafe where visitors can enjoy the unique experiences of the park; "Park Lawson Senri Store," a mini-shop; and "LABO," a community space. As part of our collaborative efforts with local residents, we held and managed events such as "Find Colors, Create Colors" and "Paint the Entire Building," using colors found within the park to decorate the exterior walls of the LABO building, creating unique value that can only be found here.

This project involved the renovation of the Morioka City Library, including seismic retrofitting. After being closed for approximately two and a half years, it reopened on April 2, 2024. The library's concept is "A library where knowledge circulates and people and the city grow freely." Like the ecosystem of Takamatsu Pond that spreads out before it, the library aims to be a place where Morioka's knowledge and people naturally gather, connect, and circulate back into the community. Our company was responsible for the planning, design, production, and construction of the facility's interior space, as well as the visual identity, including the logo.

Fukui Prefecture and Fukui City have launched the "Fukui Station Area Dinosaur displays Project" to promote "Fukui, the Dinosaur Kingdom" to visitors and create a lively atmosphere using dinosaurs, in preparation for the opening of the Hokuriku Shinkansen line between Fukui and Tsuruga in the spring of 2024. Fukui City is in charge of the east exit area of Fukui Station, and has installed a monument of a parent and child Triceratops with the theme of parental love in the east exit plaza. The parent Triceratops is a life-sized dinosaur robot that expresses parental love by moving and making sounds at set times. Meanwhile, the shelter area of Fukui Station is designed to resemble the world of land. Visitors can interact with three baby dinosaurs, including a Spinosaurus, and the egg monument is a photo spot where visitors can go inside and take pictures. In addition, the adjacent pedestrian walkway is designed to resemble the world of the sky. A bench where a child dreaming of becoming a paleontologist sits, and a sign reading "Pterosaur Sanctuary" have been installed. On the outer wall of Echizen Railway Fukui Station, facing the road beyond, a 20-meter-long mural of a herd of pteranodons is painted. Furthermore, the area under the elevated tracks is designed to evoke the world of the sea, with an internally illuminated "Marine Lizard Sanctuary" sign based on the blue of the ocean and benches adorned with reliefs of marine dinosaurs such as plesiosaurs. In this way, each area has a different theme, and the points of interest change to encourage visitors to explore the area.

This project involved the renewal of Asakusa Station on the Tobu Skytree Line and Tobu Nikko Station on the Tobu Nikko Line, coinciding with the launch of Tobu Railway's new limited express train, the Spacia X. The project's concept was "connecting," aiming to create a sense of continuity in the space from before boarding the Spacia X to after disembarking. Furthermore, the concept of "connecting" encompasses several meanings, including "connecting to a journey to Nikko," "connecting the old and new station concept design," "connecting the history and culture of the areas along the line to the future," and "connecting the skills and thoughts of the creators to the users." As a station concept design that embodies "connecting," the project actively utilized materials from Tochigi Prefecture and incorporated motifs derived from Nikko's nature, history, and culture, aiming to promote "environmental conservation" and "cultural dissemination" of the areas along the line as new initiatives for Tobu Railway. In addition, to convey these efforts, our company was in charge of concept design graphic posters on the theme of "connecting," which were displays inside Asakusa Station and Tobu Nikko Station.

This is a renovation project for Seibu Railway's Toshimaen Station and Ikebukuro Station, coinciding with the opening of "Studio Tour Tokyo (Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo – The Making of Harry Potter)," built on the former site of "Toshimaen" amusement park. ■Toshimaen Station Based on the concept of "a station where imagination blends into everyday life," the station building features a simple concept design that evokes a gate connecting the ordinary and the extraordinary, with added elements that allow you to feel the world of magic. The pillars on the platform, station name signs, and vending machines have been renovated with a design based on red, reminiscent of "Hogsmeade Station" leading to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In addition, the see-through LED images on the glass surface at the top of the facade change according to the time of day and season, creating a magical effect that gives a sense of floating. Furthermore, as a legacy of "Toshimaen," which closed in August 2020, model trains, telephone booth sculptures, benches, and sculptures made from trees grown within Toshimaen have been remade to fit a new concept and put displays, making the station a beloved landmark for the local community. ■Ikebukuro Station Inspired by "King's Cross Station" in London, England, the walls of platforms 1 and 2, where trains to Toshimaen mainly depart and arrive, have been remodeled in a brick pattern, and the station signs have also been renovated with a navy base. Based on the concept of "a path leading to a fantasy world," illustrations of wizards and owls have been placed throughout, creating a magical atmosphere and making the station a gateway to a magical world.

Tochigi Health Checkup Plaza is a medical facility that relocated and reopened on January 15, 2024, for receiving health checkups and comprehensive medical examinations. In today's era, often referred to as the "100-year life era," regular health checkups and comprehensive medical examinations are more important than ever for managing one's health. To fulfill our customers' wish that their annual checkup day be a "rich and special day," we have created a hospitable space from architecture to interior and furniture concept design. To meet our customers' requests and broad concept design needs, we teamed up NAU (now the Architectural Production Department), which excels in total concept design on an urban planning and architectural scale, with an interior concept design team that specializes in the hospitality market, such as hotels. By leveraging each other's expertise and concept design comprehensively from architectural scale to human scale, we have created a space that alleviates the psychological anxiety of patients and allows them to spend their time comfortably and pleasantly. With its smart appearance symbolizing a cutting-edge medical facility and a space filled with elegant colors, we aimed to create a facility that would become a symbol of the city, rooted in the community and loved by its residents.

本館は前橋の「危機と民力」をテーマとした歴史エンターテインメント施設です。江戸時代に「関東の華」と称され、城下町として栄えた前橋は、明治時代以降も群馬県の県庁所在地「県都」として発展してきました。一方その間に起こった、利根川の浸食による前橋城の崩落や、明治維新による廃藩置県、主力産業であった製糸業の世界恐慌による操業停止、第2次世界大戦中の空襲によって市街地の8割が焼失するといった「四つの危機」を先人たちは「民力」によって乗り越え、再興を果たしました。本館は「関東の華」「県都」として発展した前橋を「華都」と呼び、市民が郷土の歴史をたどり、前橋の未来について考えるきっかけとなることを願い開設されました。

Building 15 at Sophia University's Yotsuya Campus opened in the fall of 2022 as a hub for adult education and community exchange, with the keyword "Transforming the city into a forest," aiming to contribute to achieving the SDGs and realizing a decarbonized society, as well as becoming a sustainable landmark for the region. Designed and construction by Sumitomo Forestry, this three-story fire-resistant wooden building utilizes "Kigurumi FR®," an original pure wood fire-resistant laminated timber made from Tama-grown cedar, for its main structural components. The facade, covered with a cross-shaped wooden lattice, is concept design that expresses the founding principles of Sophia University: "diversity," "interaction with others," "truth," and "tradition." The first floor will house a café open to the public, and as part of community contribution activities, space will be provided to nearby neighborhood associations for use as a disaster prevention warehouse. The second and third floors are used as classrooms for the "Professional Studies" course for working adults. Our company was responsible for design, layout, construction of the third floor, which is used as a classroom for the adult education course. Aiming to create a space that fosters wisdom through gathering, learning, and conversation, we also connected the story from the architecture to the materials that make up the space, and concept design using Nishikawa timber (cedar and cypress) from Hannō, which, along with Tama timber, has been used to build the city of Edo.

Since opening in 2011 at the east exit of JR Urawa Station, East Medical Clinic's newly built medical facility in Urawa PARCO has been used for internal medicine, breast surgery, complete health checkups, and health checkups not only by local residents but also by many nearby companies. This is a relocation project to a mall. The opening of the relocation comes after two years of consulting on the target property and redefining the mission as the scale of the clinic expanded.

The concept is "symbiosis". This is a project to establish an exchange base in the Arahama area of Sendai City, which was affected by the tsunami caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake. Based on the concept of an ``inclusive society'' where people of all generations and with or without disabilities can gather, we have created an ``open space'' where you can enjoy activities and events and learn about disaster prevention and mitigation. The site area is 1.3 hectares. The site consists of three areas: a cafe and co-working space, a farm, and an inclusive facility where children with disabilities can play. The clubhouse uses VR equipment jointly developed by a major telecommunications company and a local university to become a place for children to learn about disaster prevention, where they can learn about the Arahama area before and after the earthquake and how to respond in the event of a disaster. I am. The project is part of Sendai City's project to utilize the site of a disaster prevention collective relocation site, and is funded by a subsidy from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. Our company provided support for acquisition applications and completion reports. This time, we completed the clubhouse area as the first phase. Aiming to create facilities that take root in the community and grow together with them, parks and indoor facilities are planned to be developed in stages based on future projections in collaboration with local residents.

This is a community revitalization and disaster prevention base that was born in Koshimizu Town, Hokkaido, and is a community revitalization and disaster prevention base that has been working in partnership with the public and public, with the aim of creating a lively and sustainable town by creating a place for people to live both in everyday life and in times of disaster. In addition to the town hall functions, the town hall will be equipped with a cafe, laundry, fitness gym, community space, etc., transforming the town hall from a traditional "place you don't go to unless you have something to do" to a new "place you come to naturally." We aim to become a central facility where the town hall and residents can work together to revitalize the town while facing the challenges of depopulation and aging.

Recently, a new geological layer showing evidence of Jomon people mining obsidian has been discovered at the Takayama displays Site and Hoshikuso Pass Obsidian Mine, a nationally designated historical site. A museum called "Hoshikuso-kan" has opened, allowing visitors to see the excavated layer and experience the lives of the Jomon people. The building's exterior walls have changed color due to age-related rust, conveying a message of preserving and passing on the memory of obsidian. Inside displays, geological layers exceeding 20 meters in length and 5 meters in height rise along both walls of the passageway, recreating their appearance exactly as they were discovered during the excavation. The layers have stepped, uneven surfaces, formed by the soil dug by the Jomon people in search of obsidian. Projection mapping is applied along the lines of these layers, recreating the lives of the Jomon people through video. Through immersive visuals and breathtaking geological formations, you can experience the passion of the Jomon people who, for generations, dedicated themselves to mining the precious obsidian, which was found in only a limited number of locations.
