Hoshino Resorts' new business model, a hotel specialized in urban tourism, "OMO" was born in the spring of 2018. The first hotel to be operated, "OMO7 Asahikawa", was a rebranding project of a long-established local hotel. The brand concept is "an urban tourism hotel that doesn't just end with sleeping, but raises the excitement of your trip". We proposed a new communication concept design in the hotel market by sprinkling various playful gimmicks in the space that further draw out the appeal of the service content that connects travelers and locals and makes walking around the city more enjoyable.

【 Project Description 】 Mitsubishi Heavy Industries will construct a plant for mass production and assembly of Japan's first regional jetliner, "MRJ". The facility will be open to the public. A facility where you can see actual aircraft production sites and experience aircraft manufacturing. [Customer Challenges/Themes] Tour the MRJ production site, introduce the journey to development, and experience the dynamic nature and breadth of the aircraft industry made from over 20,000 parts. At the same time, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, which also develops aircraft, aims to create facilities that showcase its comprehensive capabilities. 【 Solution 】 Making the most of the location of a tour facility attached to an aircraft production site. In addition to the MRJ full-scale mock-up displays, we will create realistic content that can only be experienced here, and create a space that consistently represents "aircraft" from the entrance to the exit.

[Project description] We planned, produced and produced the "Amada Memorial Hall/ displays Room," which communicates the "history" and "future" of Amada Holdings Co., Ltd., a company that manufactures and sells metal processing machinery. Based on the concept of "growing together with our customers," a philosophy that the Amada Group has cherished since its founding, the project uses the entire space to introduce the group's future through a complex production that combines projection mapping onto historical machinery that marked a turning point in the group's development, original lighting equipment and video projections. A highly experiential message space was created. <Our project members> [Planning] Mori Seiichiro, Tsuchikin Suiko, Taka Ena [concept design] Morita Masami, Tani Takaaki, Fujiwara Naoya, Nakagawa Yuri [Direction] Goto Akinori [Production] Hanayama Junya, Soeda Yuhei [Sales] Yamauchi Ryo

[Project Description] This is the first store outside of Hokkaido for Ishiya Seika Co., Ltd., a Western confectionery manufacturer in Hokkaido famous for "Shiroi Koibito". Unlike the Shiroi Koibito brand, which can only be purchased in Hokkaido, this store is a new brand that does not sell the signature product Shiroi Koibito, and was created for store expansion outside of Hokkaido, and this is its first store. It is positioned as an antenna shop that takes advantage of the location in Ginza (GINZA SIX), and will be a stepping stone for future store expansion. [Customer's Issues/Requests] The most important thing in terms of concept design expression is to convey that it is a Western confectionery manufacturer in Hokkaido. The newly developed product group is finished with a rich variety of local ingredients and has a unique finish, and we thought that a message that clearly expresses the roots of its appeal in Hokkaido was necessary. Therefore, we proposed a design with a "snow" motif to make an impression. [Solution] The white design covering the wall is a deformed snowflake, patterned, and cut into a panel. Not only is this reminiscent of the scenery of Hokkaido, but it also has a pop impression that matches the atmosphere of the sweets' packaging, and is intended to act as a neutral backdrop to accommodate this MD's many color variations. A small stage was set up inside the showcase, which serves as the focal point, to improve the visibility of the products, and the same cutting pattern was applied to the raised surface. This creates the impression of sweets being displayed on top of accumulated snow, increasing their appeal to customers wandering the floor, and creating an effect that makes the products, which are a new endeavor for Ishiya Confectionery Co., Ltd., look even more attractive. <Our project members> [Sales] Inonami Takeshi, Matsubara Tadayuki [Design] Kitamura Yoshihiro [Production] Katsumata Shigehito, Komura Hajime

[Project description] This project renovated the second floor office area of a precut factory in Takaoka, Toyama Prefecture, into a reception, library lounge, and showroom. We aimed to create a space that fulfills the role and function of an office while making the most of the unique atmosphere of the factory. The concept is to understand the growth of trees and support people and wood to walk together, with the theme of "forests where people walk together" and "wooden spaces where people can live richly." [Customer's issues/requests] ●To create a creative space where people can gather and interact, with "wood" as the keyword. ●To create a mechanism that allows people to feel closer to wood by deepening their knowledge and understanding of wood and actually touching it. ●In addition to seeing and touching wood, we also consider wood education and contact with craftsmen by holding workshops. ●The wooden parts of wooden houses, mainly the structure, tend to be hidden by floors, walls, and ceilings in daily life, so it is difficult to be interested in them. In such a situation, we created a mechanism that allows people to feel the wood material itself, the processing technology, the manufacturing staff, and the product quality that Woody Parts processes with all five senses. [Solution] The reception area was designed to allow employees and visitors to view a deep space. The tables, lighting, and bookshelves that make up the library lounge symbolize this. The showroom uses mesh material on the walls so that displays walls do not interfere with the atmosphere of the former factory. Taking advantage of the spaciousness of the space, we have prepared presentation spaces for BtoB and BtoC. In order to allow for clear presentations, we planned a space that at first glance looks like an art gallery, with visuals of handicrafts and techniques rather than an explanatory showroom. We also placed importance on ease of updating information so that it does not become outdated over time. In the future, we aimed to create a space where "creating experiences" related to "living" will be born in addition to the traditional "making things" using wood in relation to "living". [Customer feedback] ●There has been an increase in topics that are not about products (things), such as the scent and texture of wood. ●There has been an increase in visitors from management, designers, and planners, rather than the on-site staff of existing housing companies. <Our project members> [Sales and project management] Takuya Kitai and Yoshiki Yamada [design, layout] Hiroaki Koshizen [Production and construction] Kentaro Hirano Photography: Nacasa & Partners Co., Ltd.

[Project Description] Panasonic Corporation The Konosuke Matsushita History Museum was newly opened on March 7, 2018, the 100th year since the company was founded, as part of the 100th anniversary project. The purpose of the museum was to allow visitors to experience the business philosophy and life philosophy of Konosuke Matsushita, the founder of Panasonic, and to widely inherit his "spirit." [Customer's Challenge/Request] The challenge was how to pass on Panasonic's business philosophy, the many achievements, words, and spirit that the founder left behind to the company's employees, and to provide learning and awareness to visitors, including the general public. The space was designed to allow visitors to relive the 94-year life of Konosuke Matsushita by following the "path" set as the displays theme, and the concept was "a place where you can meet Konosuke Matsushita." [Solution] First, we created a space where visitors can freely stroll around and concentrate on their thoughts, with the founder's beloved "Shinshin-an" as the motif. Each displays element is expressed in layers according to depth, allowing visitors to select information that suits their individual interests. <Our project members> [Sales and project management] Shohei Baba [Planning] Tomoko Yanagihara [design, layout] Hideaki Hata, Yoshiyo Yoshikawa, Shigeto Suga, Koki Mizuno [Form concept design] Kenichi Kishikawa [Production and construction] Masao Ogawa Photography: Nacasa & Partners Co., Ltd.

[Project Description] This is a project for a corporate PR and educational facility on the first floor of the new building No. 21 at Yamaha's headquarters. We aimed to create a "place" where people can gain new realizations and discoveries whenever and how many times they visit by fully showcasing Yamaha's technology, know-how, and sensibility that have been cultivated over a long history. [Customer's Issues/Requests] The theme of concept design was to create a facility where people can "see," "listen," and "touch" Yamaha's DNA, its current and future challenges. The challenge was to create a space that conveys Yamaha's corporate attitude and a way to display instruments differently from a physical store. [Solution] - Zoning that clearly separates bright and dark areas, and the creation of a main street as the axis - Graphic appeal and sharp instrument displays that can be enjoyed by both adults and children - Creating a space where you can see all the way to the back by keeping the partition walls below eye level (H1500) [Customer's Comments] We felt reassured by their extensive track record, and with their meticulous project progress and on-site construction, we were able to complete a wonderful facility. Thank you very much. <Our project members> [Sales and project management] Takashi Sakamoto, Kensuke Aiba, Kyoko Watanabe [design, layout] Hiroyuki Tamura, Noriaki Terunuma, Atsuko Nakazawa [Planning, sign and graphic concept design] Tomoko Yanagihara, Mika Kobayashi [Production and construction] Atsushi Yanome

[Project Description] This facility is an innovation facility created with the aim of co-creating new value by connecting people, technology, and wisdom, aiming to solve the problems of business partners and social issues, in addition to providing a space to introduce and experience the technologies that Ajinomoto has cultivated so far. [Customer's Issues/Requests] Until now, technology introductions to companies have been done through visits, which limited the number of technologies that could be explained at one time, and made it difficult to introduce actual products and convey the value of the technology. Therefore, it was required to create a place where the technology could be appealed to more efficiently and effectively. In addition, it was required to create an environment where the potential value of the technology could be effectively conveyed and the needs of customers could be efficiently understood by having customers "see, touch, and feel" the technology that they possess. [Solution] In constructing the space, we built a flexible system based on the ideas of 1) fixed form (no fixed shape in time or space), 2) two-way (dialogue is the main focus, not things or technology), and 3) incomplete (changing with the evolution and changes of the world), and realized a highly flexible plan. This allows us to appeal efficiently to customers' needs, and also encourages unexpected connections and discoveries. In addition, we aimed to create a space (innovation space) that encourages free and flexible thinking by combining circles and organic curves, based on the concept design concept of "Ferment (to ferment, to revive, to stimulate)". <Our project members> [Planning] Yuichi Saito, Tomoko Yanagihara, Keita Kobayashi [design, layout] Hiroyuki Tamura, Kensaku Shirodo [Creative engineers] Kenichi Kishikawa, Ken Yanagisawa, Katsuji Oguchi (Nomura Techno) [Production and construction] Jun Endo [Sales and project management] Ayako Chikada, Atsuko Matsubara, Yasushi Shimizu

[Project Description] The Heijo Palace Izanaikan is a guidance facility located in the Suzakumon Square in the Heijo Palace Historical Park. It conveys the significance and splendor of the Heijo Palace Historical Park, a "special place" where you can feel the Nara period in the present, and invites you to the park and temples and shrines that still retain the atmosphere of the past. [Customer's Issues/Requests] In order to invite visitors to the Heijo Palace ruins, we aimed to create a guidance displays that would increase interest in the Heijo Palace ruins and connect them to the impressions they get when they are there. [Solution] We aimed to invite visitors to the field by spatializing and experientially impressing the "specialness of the Heijo Palace ruins, which is difficult to see on site. The zones are roughly divided into three parts: "Heijo Palace Ruins Now," which guides visitors through the current park; "The State of Heijo Palace," where you can learn about and experience the activities of Heijo Palace in the past; and "Beyond Time," where you can understand the Heijo Palace and Kyoto of the past through relics. Each zone has a different perspective, and by impressing the specialness through the five senses, we have created displays that connects to the impressions they get when they are there. <Our project members> [Development] Haruya Miwa, Kazuya Hashizume [Sales/Project Management] Haruya Miwa [Planning] Shigeo Fujii, Yuka Sueda, Setsuko Nishimura [design, layout] Takeo Akamine, Tadashi Yuasa, Tomoyo Tsukiyama [Signs/Graphics] Yoshito Inoue, Satoko Hasegawa [Production/ construction] Hayato Ichimata, Goro Yamano, Ryohei Yamaoka, Yoshito Inoue, Katsumi Yamada, Satoko Hasegawa, Nanae Hori [public relations] Takeo Akamine, Shigeo Fujii, Yoshito Inoue, Satoko Hasegawa [Verification Engineer] Kazuya Hashizume

[Project Summary] The museum, which boasts a collection of masterpiece chairs and posters, places more emphasis on the perspective of concept design than ever before, and aims to be an experiential creative museum that "connects art and concept design". There are six displays rooms, large and small. Our company was in charge of designing and construction the wall cases in the special displays room on the second floor. In addition to permanently displays about 50 chairs from the collection of about 240 chairs, we developed an displays system for the concept design displays room, which boasts a collection of about 13,000 posters. We were also in charge of displays works and materials by Shuzo Takiguchi and Simon Goldberg, which were donated during the time of the Toyama Prefectural Museum of Modern Art. In the hall, we developed an experiential "interactive art" that creates light art with body movements. [Customer's Challenge] A collection of 20th century art and an unparalleled collection of concept design (chairs, posters). The aim is to create an experiential creative museum where visitors can freely stroll around this rich collection of art, not only deepening their knowledge of one thing, but also grasping things in correlation with various genres, and developing deeper understanding and thinking skills. [Solution] We created distinctive displays spaces for each displays room's theme through fixture planning, color planning, lighting planning, video and audio planning, etc., creating spaces for memorable art and concept design experiences. We also introduced "interactive art" to the displays, which creates light art through body movements, contributing as one element of an experiential imaginative museum that connects art and concept design. <Our project members> [Development] Ishikawa Atsushi [Sales and project management] Ishikawa Atsushi [design, layout] Kasuga Yasushi [Production and construction] Nagayama Shunichiro [Video] Goto Akinori
