For humans, whose natural state is life on land, spending long periods at sea is stressful both physically and mentally. To achieve this balance, the design proactively incorporates land-based elements that contrast with sea-based elements, such as the "vertical" of plants that grow vertically against the "horizontal" nature of the ocean surface, the "straight" of buildings and windows against the "curves" of waves and fish, and the "heavy" nature of trees and rocks against the "floating" nature of ships and bubbles. For the exterior, the shop name has been disassembled and reconstructed, and Japanese patterns reminiscent of lanterns and kumiki joinery are depicted. <Our project members> [Sales/Project concept design] Fujime Ryo, Suda Keita [concept design /Basic Plan] no.10: Aono Keita, Suzuki Shohei [schematic design / working drawings / interior administration] no.10: Suzuki Shohei

~A station building that is not just a place to wait for trains, but a community space where everyone can spend time comfortably~ Based on the concept of creating a place that fosters community, we conducted workshops and questionnaire surveys with local residents from the planning stage. We identified user needs and reflected them in the design. A corner where books and picture books can be viewed has also been set up to create opportunities for people to come into contact with various cultures through books while spending time in the station building. In order to convey the appeal of local resources through use of the station building, we actively used the local specialty "Obi cedar" throughout the space, planning and producing a space where users can experience the charm of Obi cedar through their own experience. [Customer's Issues/Requests] Before the renovation, Nichinan Station building was a place with no place to stay and only for getting on and off trains, and we received a request to turn it into a place that fosters the local community and makes people feel the "charm of the area." [Solution] In order to communicate the appeal of local resources through the use of the station building, we worked with local design firm Muji Co., Ltd. to actively use the local specialty Obi cedar throughout the space, and to create opportunities for users to experience the charm of Obi cedar through physical experience, we used wood for the station building's facade and window frames, while harmonizing with the forest behind the building. We also implemented a sign plan that would allow the station's presence to be recognized from afar, and produced a space that uses wood as a key theme to harmonize and blend with the surrounding environment. [Customer feedback] People other than JR users are now visiting the station building, and the renovation has made it an attractive space where local people can gather. We would like to continue using the station building as a place for the local community, such as by holding events in the future. <Our project members> [Sales] Ibe Reiko [Planning and production, workshop concept design, and design supervision] Matsumoto Mari ~Related links~ [News releases] ・ NOMURA Co.,Ltd., Ltd. opens old house restoration facility as first project in public-private partnership to revitalize the local community in Nichinan City, Miyazaki Prefecture ・Nichinan City, Miyazaki Prefecture and NOMURA Co.,Ltd. conclude "Comprehensive Partnership Agreement on Regional Revitalization" ・Nichinan City, Miyazaki Prefecture and NOMURA Co.,Ltd. sign "Regional Revitalization Corporate Exchange Program" ・ NOMURA Co.,Ltd. works as a creative partner in co-creating local urban development [Media coverage] ・2019.07.05 "Kensetsu Tsushin Shimbun" ・2020.04.01 "Nichinan Television" ・2020.04.07 "Miyazaki Nichinichi Shimbun" [Related achievements] ・Plus D Nichinan Branch ・Kiraku Obi Aiya Residence ・DENKEN PJM Photo: Park concept design Co., Ltd.

A public relations displays space was set up alongside the G20 summit, which attracted 30,000 people from around the world, including press and other related parties. The exhibition area features a floating cutting-edge technology displays with a motif of a futuristic miniature garden floating in the ocean, a food stall-style live kitchen, and a shining white cultural area that expresses hope from the reconstruction to the Olympics. The three different areas are seamlessly connected and fused together to concept design a new style of presentation experience that allows people to relax and enjoy the present of Japan. [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] We were asked to express Japan's innovative technology and ideas that will realize a virtuous cycle of environmental conservation and growth, and create a new era that is rich for both people and the planet. [Solution] At the G20 Osaka Summit, we actively worked to reduce waste based on the idea of "3R" + "Renewable sustainable resources," and in the public relations displays, we exhibited cutting-edge technology and spatial concept design for the problem of marine plastic waste. The exhibition is structured to displays Japan's technology and efforts in plastic resource circulation, divided into stages: "reduce," "replace," "reuse," "recycle," "recover," and "displays." It is feared that by 2050 the ocean will contain more plastic waste than fish, so we expressed a beautiful ocean on the floor to promote Japan's commitment to protecting the ocean. <Our project members> [Sales/Project Management] Yuji Hayami, Yasuo Ogawa, Shigeyuki Ishiyama [design, layout] Yutaka Hanaoka, Takayuki Kobayashi [Production/ construction] Yu Kimura, Yoichi Miura, Yukari Isahashi, Shigenori Ueno, Yuka Tabata, Yuki Higashihara

[Exploring the story of water and life] -An aquarium for adults that changes with the waterscape/enjoys expression- This aquarium is themed on the diverse waterscape of Shikoku, which is surrounded by the sea on all sides and has many clear streams and countless reservoirs. In front of you is the Seto Inland Sea, a beautiful archipelago that Japan is proud of around the world. Enjoy a rich time watching the dolphins living in a pool that blends into the beautiful sea. The interior of the aquarium is designed with "sound, light, scent" and the "flow of displays" to allow visitors to "enjoy the changing expressions." We aimed to create an aquarium where visitors can come into contact with the history and culture woven by living things and people, and awaken their five senses. [Social issues/customer issues/requests] There was an issue of wanting an environmental design that would make the aquarium a place of integrated customer satisfaction that goes beyond just exhibiting living things. Shikoku Aquarium is also the gateway to Shikoku. An environmental design appropriate for such a facility was needed. [Solution] We proposed an environmental design that would allow visitors to "enjoy expression." displays concept was "Exploring the story of water and life," and various contents were created to promote the new Shikoku-ness. ・Welcome Booth Nihonkaisui, which has been dealing with marine resources, is here to convey the charm of the oceans of Shikoku at Shikoku Aquarium. The design expresses the form that is derived by combining the form that Shikoku Aquarium aims for and Nihonkaisui's corporate philosophy. The booth is made up of an aquarium presentation using artificial seawater, which is a company product, and a video presentation that evokes salt art. [Customer feedback] ・Welcome Booth We asked them to create a space that would be displays for the aquarium and also serve as our corporate branding, and it turned out to be a classy booth that harmonizes our main product, salt, with living creatures. It was well received by visitors, and we feel that it has greatly contributed to improving our company's image. <Our project members> [Sales and project management] Tatsuya Fujii, Teruko Takai [design, layout] Kaoru Sone, Sho Inanobe, Yuichiro Ishida, Yoshihime Taka [Production and construction] Takeshi Suezaki / Nomura Techno Co., Ltd.: Shigeo Nagao / Nomura Products Co., Ltd.: Yoshiyuki Yamazaki

Lake Biwa Museum opened in 1996 with the mission of working with local residents to build a better relationship of coexistence between the lake and humans. Since 2015, the museum has undergone renovations spanning three phases over a six-year period. This third phase involves the renovation of displays Rooms A and B. displays Room A, titled "4 Million Years of the Lake and Us displays The Ever-Changing Lake Biwa," introduces the changes in Lake Biwa, its nature, and its creatures 4 million years ago, along with their relationship to the current environment. Each section conveys the story of Lake Biwa and its creatures, which have continued to change dramatically, and the charm of the Lake Biwa field, through the numerous fossils and geological specimens collected since the museum's opening, as well as reconstructed dioramas that allow visitors to experience the environment of the past. displays Room B is titled "20,000 Years of the Lake and Us - A History of Nature and Life," and introduces how humans have interacted with nature, using the forest, waterside, lake, and village as settings. Using the dragon, a symbol of nature from the human perspective, as a navigator, the exhibition traces the environmental history of Lake Biwa and shows how it is connected to our current lives (displays Room C).

Shou-kan was built in 1892 in Nishikatamachi, Hongo-ku, Tokyo, as part of the residence of Count Abe, the former feudal lord of the former Fukuyama domain. In 1971, Tokio Kasuga, founder of Green Stamp Co., Ltd., relocated and restored it to Karuizawa, where it has been used as a memorial hall for the Green Stamp Karuizawa dormitory. In 2020, Shou-kan was renovated at the same time as the new annex as a retreat facility for both Green Stamp Co., Ltd. and Kenedix, Inc. We were responsible for the design and interior administration of the Shou-kan renovation, including seismic retrofitting, as well as the installation of FF&E for the entire facility. [Social Issues / Customer Issues / Requests] Various extensions and renovations have been made since the original relocation, and the only connection to the annex was via a corridor, which caused structural stress and led to subsidence. The entire facility was aging, and the Shoyukan was difficult to use in winter due to Karuizawa's climate, and although it was originally designed with tatami mats, its use had decreased due to changes in Japanese lifestyles. However, they wanted to renovate it while preserving as much of its original appearance as possible. [Solution] After investigating the Shoyukan, they restored it to its original simple form as much as possible, performed a seismic diagnosis, and reinforced the structure to withstand earthquake forces equivalent to those stipulated in the Building Standards Act. The building faces the annex across the courtyard, giving it a sense of unity as a whole facility. While respecting the original design as much as possible, they aimed to extend the period of use, including in winter, except for the coldest months, by installing insulation and air conditioning equipment in the parts that cannot be seen. They installed floor heating and replaced it with flooring, and the walls added for seismic resistance expressed the original walls, fixtures, and image of the time, while the upper half of the space retained as much of the original design as possible. <Our project members> [Sales] Kayumi Tatsumi [Survey, design, layout and interior administration] NAU1: Norio Koito [Production and construction] Mikiya Fujitaka

In a society that is rapidly diversifying due to advanced technology, Panasonic believes in a balanced lifestyle. By having spaces and devices in daily life seamlessly read, understand, and comprehend the condition of people's skin, hair, and health, and by providing personalized care based on that understanding, we can offer intuitive and well-balanced lifestyles. In this displays concept space, visitors were able to experience the story of how information about people is collected, integrated, and analyzed by the objects and spaces that surround them, and how products with the beautiful and universal concept design provide optimal care for people. <Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests> A newly planned and developed wellbeing product was presented for the first time at IFA. We were asked to create the concept displays and the space concept design. Instead of a simple product displays space, we worked to design a space that would allow visitors to read the concept and user experience of the product. <SOLUTION> After detailed interviews and discussions with the London concept design center in charge of concept building, we designed a space that would not only help visitors understand the product, but would also be memorable as a user experience, making full use of new AV technology and building materials. ＜We were able to enter the project from the concept creation stage, and the team worked with us to determine what kind of output would be the most effective. Despite the short lead time, we were able to complete the project by the deadline. ＜Our project members＞ [Sales] Makie Ono [design, layout] Daisuke Nishida [Production: construction] Yoichi Miura

Based on the concept of "PLAY THE FUTURE," this playground allows visitors to experience the future mobility society of "human connection" by becoming a resident of the future and touring the experience content. Rather than depicting a specific image of the connected city that will gradually become more realistic as we move towards the future, we created a highly abstract environment based on white and grids, and by combining it with video that envelops the entire booth and stage direction, we created an experience space that stimulates visitors' imagination and expectations for the future. <Our project members> [Sales/Project Management] Ishiyama Shigeyuki [design, layout] Tamura Noriaki, Maruyama Kazuya, Fujimura Kan [Production/ construction] Endo Jun, Sasaki Ikuya ~Related Links~ [Related Achievements] - Toyota booth at the 45th Tokyo Motor Show

This museum is a place where students can learn about the university's rich history and individuality, and where alumni can look back on their time as students and look to the future together. We also hope that it will be a place where people outside of the university can think together about the meaning and value of universities in society through the image of Hosei University. <Project members> [Sales and project management] Takahashi Kentaro [Research and planning] Watanabe Hajime, Nakase Naoko, Kuroda Chiho [Consulting] Watanabe Hajime, Shimizu Shunsuke, Nakase Naoko [design, layout] Shimizu Shunsuke, Kosugi Kyoko, Nakagawa Yuri [Production and construction] Hirao Ken [Replica production] Nomura Techno Co., Ltd.: Endo Nobuyuki

A storehouse in the samurai residences of Kakunodate, Akita Prefecture has been renovated into a lodging facility. The concept is "KURA STAY," and the hotel is a cultural experience hotel where the lifestyle of the time has been preserved in the storehouse. The hotel consists of three storehouses, the "Bushigura," the "Gakkogura," and the "Tamonogura," for rent. The space incorporates Kakunodate's traditional crafts of birch crafts and Iburi-gakko production scenes, textile art such as plant dyeing, and samurai family crests, providing a local cultural experience throughout the stay.

This project is to renovate an displays room in the Panasonic Center Tokyo into a VIP reception and conference room. (Not open to the public) The spatial composition utilizes human perception to casually incorporate 4K images into the space like materials and scenery, and the ceiling height control and lighting technology are used to create a skylight effect, giving the space a sense of spaciousness, creating a space that is "comfortable for lively conversation." Since many VIPs and state guests from Japan and abroad visit the space, elements of ice-breaking are used throughout, such as a ceiling design inspired by Japanese culture, origata, images that evoke dry landscape gardens, and Japanese fragrances. In addition, the hand-drawn patent application documents that contain the founder's thoughts were turned into artwork and placed on the wall behind the seat of honor, giving the space a soul. By linking with the lighting control, the scene can be switched for various purposes, such as modes for welcoming guests, dining, and meetings using multiple screens. Panasonic's cutting-edge technology was used throughout the project, but by being thorough about the subtle expression, we were able to create a calm atmosphere overall, and build a space that combines innovation and quality. <Our project members> [Sales/Project Management] Yamazaki Kei [Direction] Yamaguchi Akane [concept design] Shimizu Shigemi, Tani Seiho [Production/ construction] Furuichi Hiromitsu, Kumazawa Yuta

Jojoen is a famous yakiniku restaurant founded in 1976. This time, we planned the largest flagship store of the restaurant. At the time, many foreign customers visited the restaurant in Roppongi, where the restaurant was founded, and the name of the restaurant comes from the sound of grilling meat being pronounced "jo-jo". First, we expanded the idea from the sound of grilling meat to the concept of sound, and gave the finish of materials such as Nishijin-ori, acrylic, stone, and glass a rhythmic characteristic. In addition, the piano booth is designed to have a symbolic shape that visually appeals to the spread of the sound of the performance. Inspired by the brand's history, this plan strengthens the relationship between food, space, and sound. We concept design seating that can be used for various occasions. <Solution> ・We designed concept design to take advantage of the characteristics of materials such as wood, stone, Nishijin-ori, and acrylic.・We planned seating that can accommodate a variety of occasions, including private rooms, semi-private rooms, pair seats, hall seats, and circular sofa seats. <Our project members> [Sales/Project Management] Yasuhiro Tsuruta [design, layout] RENS: Ryutaro Matsuura, Yuka Kurachi, Takuro Ishizawa [Production/ construction] Mikina Fujitaka, Kei Yokoyama, Mariko Yamamoto

This neo-bistro is run by two-star Michelin chef Dominique Bouchet. As it is opening in a large station building, we wanted to create a comfortable, natural atmosphere like a sunroom that customers would want to drop into on a daily basis, while still being approachable and unassuming. The organic form and accents of green, which is the theme color, combine with the nature-themed cuisine to create a comfortable atmosphere that is not just temporary, and attract new customers. In addition to concept design, we carefully designed the space to be functional, allowing the chefs and staff to perform at their best. [Client's issues/requests] ・An interior concept design that feels natural, bringing out the best in Chef Dominique's French cuisine, which makes the most of natural flavors ・Create a sense of class that doesn't make customers feel intimidated when they visit the restaurant floor ・Achieve both concept design and functionality <Our project members> [Development and leasing] Jun Nakata [Sales and project management] Takashi Kobori, Akiko Takahashi [design, layout] FOO: Masahiro Hisakane [Production and construction] Taisei Tanaka

"VVG Lifestyle Village", operated by Walsin (Nanjing) Development Co., Ltd., a Taiwanese real estate development company, opened in Nanjing ONE MALL, a lush urban complex characterized by humanism and quality of life. The theme of the facility is nature (earth), such as the sea and the land, and the spatial characteristics of the large atrium spanning three floors, so we thought that by making this place a "forest"-like space, we could harmonize with the entire facility and expand its appeal. In this "forest"-like space, people can meet and connect with each other, just like the activities of diverse living things and the cycle of nature, and a route for strolling through the forest was created. 35 huge lattices with a "branch and leaf" motif were arranged in a row, and in the atrium space, they were transformed into an arch shape to cover the entire space. Within it, lighting of "plum", Taiwan's national flower, was randomly arranged to create a "forest" with both regularity and irregularity, completing "VVG Forest", a fusion of Japanese delicacy and Taiwanese sensibility. <Our project members> [Project management and sales] Keita Suda, Ryo Fujime [concept design direction] no.10: Keita Aono [concept design] no.10: Shohei Suzuki, Chihiro Fujiwara
