[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

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.

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

This facility in Iwate Prefecture is the first in Japan to be related to the Great East Japan Earthquake at the national or prefectural level. In order to prevent a repeat of the tragedy of the Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami that occurred on March 11, 2011, the facts and lessons of the earthquake and tsunami are passed down to future generations, and the state of reconstruction is being disseminated both domestically and internationally.

In conjunction with the expansion of the international facilities at Tokyo International Airport (Haneda Airport), we were in charge of concept design and construction of the commercial area facing the departure lobby. Aiming for a symbolic concept design appropriate for the new gateway to Japan, we expressed the future "sky" of "Tokyo," which floats in the "sky" like "clouds" and "wind" and blends with each other, changing its appearance infinitely. Countless objects made with cutting-edge 3D modeling design technology create the silhouettes of streamlined "clouds" and "wind," and the shifting light and color gradations create the "sky" that changes its expression infinitely. For example, the generous and grand expression of the "clouds" and "wind" felt in the distance is composed of a fine geometric arrangement of approximately 5,500 strip-shaped parts when you get closer. In addition, the change of time of day and seasons is expressed with the soft and delicate light and color shading of approximately 1,800 proprietary lights. The dynamism of Japanese sensibility, which repeats meticulousness and generosity, and the "Japanese aesthetic sense" that appreciates the changes of the seasons, such as the flurry of cherry blossoms, the scenery of waves, the autumn winds and the winter skies. By fusing these two elements into the space with unprecedented new technology, we challenged the possibilities of future spaces. <Our project members> [Sales/Project Management] Kazuyoshi Hikota [design, layout] Shinjiro Kondo [Production/ construction] Yoshiyuki Nakamura, Sora Udagawa, Ryosuke Takada
