% Arabica Riyadh Roastery

% Arabica Riyadh Roastery

This is concept design and construction supervision of the second store in Saudi Arabia for the Kyoto-based coffee shop brand "%ARABICA". The client requested that a 900m2 warehouse be renovated and a custom-made gigantic roasting machine be installed. We planned a theater-like store that would make the most of the vast space while showcasing the gigantic roastery. A stage was set up at the back of the store that could be seen from any seat, and the roasting machine, which is the main attraction, was placed majestically in the center. The bean cellar, which is the symbol of "%ARABICA", surrounds it, livening up the main attraction. The store is also home to the excellent baristas of "%ARABICA", who act as an orchestra. A U-shaped kitchen counter was set up in the center of the store, and comfortable sounds were created to resonate throughout the store along with the baristas' brilliant performance. In order to allow customers to enjoy the live feeling of these two main attractions from anywhere in the store, we created a large pillar-free atrium and arranged the seats around it. The main seating area is made up of box seats separated by sheer curtains. Considering the Saudi Arabian people's concern about the distance between men and women, these seats are laid out in two tiers on both sides of the atrium. There are also bench seats around the kitchen counter where you can watch the barista right in front of you, and counter seats with a view of the whole store, allowing a variety of seating options to suit different customer demographics. Comfortable light pours in through the perforated metal from the atrium ceiling. These features have created a store where customers can enjoy delicious coffee and a theater-conscious concept design and production with all five senses, while making the most of the bright and open space.

Hokkaido Ballpark F Village ES CON FIELD HOKKAIDO

Hokkaido Ballpark F Village ES CON FIELD HOKKAIDO

In March 2023, Hokkaido Ballpark F Village was born, an area including the new stadium of the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters. It is a completely new creative community space that aims to create a town with next-generation live entertainment that coexists with nature, wellness solutions that nurture the mind and body, and active cultural exchange within a vast site area of approximately 32 hectares. NOMURA pooled all its resources under the theme of "creating a new spectator experience that no one has ever experienced before," and was responsible for the planning, design, layout, production, and displays construction of multiple areas. In the main stadium, "ES CON FIELD HOKKAIDO," we created spaces including the "BALCONY SUITE" in the premium area, the "docomo CLUB LOUNGE" and "Panasonic CLUB LOUNGE" on both wings that combine sand-covered seats and dining, the unique "tower eleven hotel" with a panoramic view of the field from the guest rooms, and the world's first "tower eleven onsen & sauna" that pumps hot spring water. As mentioned above, the landmark "TOWER 11" located behind the left field of the new stadium is equipped with facilities such as the world's first onsen and sauna in a stadium, the first hotel in a stadium with a panoramic view of the field in Japan, and a museum, making it an innovative stadium that can be enjoyed all year round. For example, the world's first "onsen and sauna in a stadium with a panoramic view of the field" has 24 "Totonoe Terrace Seats" in the semi-outdoor swimsuit wearing zone, and you can watch the game from the sauna room and bathtub. Together with professional sauna user "TTNE Totonoe Oyakata" Matsuo Dai, we created a new and unprecedented style of watching games. As for "Hokkaido Ballpark F Village" as a whole, in addition to planning the entire outdoor area, we are also creating a welcome monument. We will continue to contribute to the "co-creation space" that the team aims to create, together with fans, partners, and local residents, which will lead to the revitalization of the local community and contribution to society.

TBS_AKASAKA BLITZ Monument/Gallery

TBS_AKASAKA BLITZ Monument/Gallery

TBS has set the area concept of "Shake the World. AKASAKA, an entertainment town that shakes up all worlds," and is aiming to complete the "Akasaka 2-chome and 6-chome District Redevelopment Plan" and the existing area (TBS Broadcasting Center, Akasaka Sacas, TBS Akasaka BLITZ Studio, TBS Akasaka ACT Theater, Akasaka Biz Tower) in 2028. As the third step, "Akasaka BLITZ," which has delivered various content as a live space, will be renovated into "BLITZ Studio" dedicated to television program production. The first floor will feature an displays space in collaboration with popular programs, and the third floor will feature a viewing space for the program studio. In this project, we planned, designed, and produced a facility attraction monument that will contribute to the revival of Akasaka's vitality, which was lost during the COVID-19 pandemic, and a gallery that gives a sense of the history of the station from its opening to the present, in the foyer in front of the "concept design Studio" studio and the staircase leading to the third floor studio. The monument embodies the connection between TBS and its viewers, and at the same time, from the perspective of the SDGs, it advocates a recycling-oriented society by creatively reusing 1.4 tons of "audio-broadcasting equipment and materials scheduled for disposal." The adjacent staircase connects the gallery, which traces the evolution of audio-visual media over TBS's 70 years, to the studio viewing area, creating a space where visitors can experience TBS's history from its launch to the present day.
