This neo-bistro is the creation of two-Michelin-starred chef Dominique Bouchet. With its opening in a large train station building, the aim was to create a welcoming and approachable atmosphere that wouldn't feel intimidating to visitors, while simultaneously fostering a comfortable, natural feel reminiscent of a sunroom—a place people would want to visit regularly. The organic forms and green accents, the restaurant's theme color, blend seamlessly with the nature-inspired cuisine, creating a lasting sense of comfort and attracting new customers. Furthermore, meticulous design was employed to ensure both concept design appeal and functionality, allowing the chefs and staff to perform at their best. [Client's Challenges/Requests] - An interior concept design that evokes nature, complementing Chef Dominique's French cuisine, which makes the most of natural flavors. - Creating a moderate sense of class that doesn't make customers visiting the restaurant floor feel intimidated. - Balancing concept design and functionality. <Our Project Members> [Development/Leasing] Jun Nakata [Sales/Project Management] Takashi Kobori, Akiko Takahashi [design, layout] FOO: Masahiro Hisakane [Production/ construction] Taisei Tanaka

VVG Lifestyle Village, operated by Taiwanese real estate development company Walsin (Nanjing) Development Co., Ltd., has opened in Nanjing ONE MALL, a lush urban complex characterized by humanism and quality of life. Given the facility's theme of nature (earth), such as the sea and land, and the spatial characteristics of a large three-story atrium, we considered how we could harmonize with the entire facility and enhance its appeal by creating a "forest"-like space. In this "forest"-like space, encounters and connections between people are born, like the activities of diverse living things and the cycle of nature, and a flow of movement like strolling through a forest is created. 35 rows of giant lattices, with "branches and leaves" as the motif, are arranged in succession, and in the atrium space, they change into arch shapes to cover the entire space. Lighting of "plum blossoms," Taiwan's national flower, is randomly placed within, creating a "forest" with both regularity and irregularity, thus completing "VVG's Forest," which fuses Japanese delicacy with Taiwanese sensibilities. <Our Project Members> [Project Management/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 of its kind in Japan to be related to the Great East Japan Earthquake at the national or prefectural level. To prevent a recurrence of the tragedy of the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami that occurred on March 11, 2011, it aims to pass on the facts and lessons of the earthquake and tsunami to future generations and to communicate the progress of reconstruction both domestically and internationally. With displays theme "Protecting Lives, Living in Harmony with the Sea and Land," the facility allows visitors to thoroughly learn about the history of tsunami damage in the Sanriku region, the facts and lessons of the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami through displays, graphics, videos, and other materials. <Our Project Members> [Development] Shin Yoshioka [Sales & Project Management] Takeshi Mariko [Planning] Eri Saito, Naoko Nakase [Design] Shuji Masaki, Sayaka Horikoshi, Mitsuyo Ashida, Ikuho Tominaga [Production & construction] Akio Hiraishi

With the expansion of the international terminal facilities at Tokyo International Airport (Haneda Airport) Terminal 2, we were responsible for the environmental concept design and construction of the commercial area facing the departure lobby. Aiming for a symbolic concept design befitting Japan's new gateway, we expressed the future "sky" of "Tokyo," which floats and blends into the "sky" like "clouds" and "wind," endlessly changing its form. Countless objects composed using cutting-edge 3D modeling design technology create the streamlined silhouettes of "clouds" and "wind," and the ever-changing "sky" emerges through the shifting light and color gradients. For example, the broad and magnificent appearance of "clouds" and "wind" seen from afar is, upon closer inspection, composed of a delicate geometric arrangement of approximately 5,500 strip-shaped parts. Furthermore, the daily passage of time and the changing seasons are expressed through the soft and delicate light and color gradations of approximately 1,800 uniquely developed lights. The dynamism of Japanese sensibilities, which repeatedly combines meticulousness and generosity, and the "Japanese aesthetic" that cherishes the changing seasons, such as falling cherry blossoms, waves, autumn breezes, and winter skies. By fusing these two elements into a space using unprecedented new-dimensional technology, we challenged the possibilities of future spaces. <Our Project Members> [Sales & Project Management] Kazuyoshi Hikota [design, layout] Shinjiro Kondo [Production & construction] Miyuki Nakamura, Hiroshi Udagawa, Ryosuke Takada

"Medicha," a self-conditioning business centered on meditation, was born from Mitsubishi Estate's new business proposal system. It is an immersive meditation studio that provides urban dwellers, who are exposed to a great deal of stress, with "luxurious time to create space for oneself" through a unique meditation program that liberates all five senses. Our company assisted Mitsubishi Estate from various angles, from the business planning stage of brand launch to the opening, providing support in areas such as consulting, experience concept design, spatial concept design, graphic concept design, meditation content advice, and art curation. [Customer's Voice] In creating an immersive studio that fuses "meditation," "art," and "tea," we received comprehensive support not only in interiors but also in realizing the concept and designing the service so that customers would experience meditation. We are also grateful that by collaborating with experts in each field, such as meditation, sound, lighting, and tea, we were able to realize a space and service that maximizes the effects of meditation while maintaining the worldview. <Our Project Members> [Sales & Project Management] Shun Kawai [Consulting & Planning] Shoko Miyazaki [design, layout] Hideaki Hata, Yoshitaka Hirayama, Keisuke Yoshida [Production & construction] Kenji Takekawa, Tomoharu Kawai, Yuko Yamashita, Tadahiro Nakajima

Ishiya Confectionery Co., Ltd. is a leading confectionery manufacturer in Hokkaido, well known for its Shiroi Koibito (white lover). Head Office built the Ishiya Chocolate Factory, a factory building, in 1995 and opened the entire facility, collectively called Shiroi Koibito Park. Shiroi Koibito Park has become one of Sapporo's most popular tourist attractions. With an eye on attracting 1 million visitors, a renewal plan was launched to improve customer service and add new entertainment features with the theme of a facility that offers surprises and fun by making the most of a candy factory. NOMURA Co.,Ltd. The "K" Line Group was engaged in the overall direction of the park, production of visual content, displays review of the plan, space concept design, production and construction (new café, renovation of the lounge, expansion of the experience corner, complete renovation of the factory store, review of signage plan), NOMURA Co.,Ltd. planning and design construction covering the entire range of the Group's know-how and produced the space in a single operation. We produced the space. We also produced a wide range of creative work, including the facility logo concept design, character re concept design and new character concept design, advertising concept design, and limited edition product packaging concept design for the renewal. The Chocotopia House, a projection mapping tour to explore the secrets of chocolate with "Dr. Chocolate Loves Chocolate Too Much", the Chocotopia Factory, a tour of the Shiroi Koibito production line, café, store, etc., are the main attractions of the new chocolate entertainment facility. The main theme of the facility concept design is to maintain the antique style, which is the basic tone of the entire facility, and to make the most of the atmosphere of the existing facility concept design ・The main premise of the project is to produce a production that will allow visitors to see, learn, taste, and experience chocolate. The first major issue was to eliminate the chronic congestion of over 700,000 annual visitors. Another issue was to create new attractions, and it was necessary to plan for not only the main tourists of the past, the out-of-town visitors, but also the in-town and foreign visitors. The first step was to clearly establish a guiding production concept and review the displays storyline and route planning, starting from the start of the attraction, through the tour route to the lounge and stores, with the aim of eliminating congestion on the visitor route. We also aimed to relieve congestion by adding more attractions, a new café, renovating the lounge, expanding the hands-on facilities, and expanding the concession stand at the end of the tour, thereby distributing the points of interest to visitors. We also aimed to create a new attraction by creating a new character for content creation and utilizing the latest production technologies such as projection mapping and a new diorama model based on a new concept. ＜Our project members】 [Sales/Project Management] Taku Wakita, Tadayuki Matsubara [Planning] Yuichi Saito, Tomoko Yanagihara, Moe Murakami [design, layout] Keiu Tamura, Fujie Suzuki, Kentaro Yamada, Yuki Masuda, Akika Yamada, Shifumi Kato, Sari Suzuki, Mayu Toyoda [Production, construction] Takashi Sasatani, Ikushige Umemoto [Creative Engineers] Akira Takashi, Mitsuru Kishikawa, Kenichi Kishikawa, Kenichi Kawamoto Mitsuru Takashi, Kenichi Kishikawa, Banji Kawai [Sign Planning] Naoaki Mamoru (Nomura Products) [Production Equipment and Modeling construction Cooperation] Mizuki Suzumura (Nomura Techno)

The second phase of renovation work at the Shiga Prefectural Lake Biwa Museum included the creation of "Adult Discovery" and the renovation of the "Discovery Room," restaurant, museum shop, atrium, and special displays rooms. "Adult Discovery," designed to satisfy the curiosity of adults and encourage repeated visits, is a learning and exchange space that conveys the enjoyment of museums, increases interest in Lake Biwa, and fosters a desire to participate in local and museum activities. With over 1,000 specimens of animals, plants, minerals, and more, the space and functions have been designed to encourage visitors to surround themselves with specimens and engage in activities such as looking at them, selecting and handling them, observing them under a microscope, researching them in encyclopedias, and asking questions to curators. There is a corner where visitors can experience how to carefully observe and sketch specimens, and an open lab where they can experience museum research and data organization firsthand. The Discovery Room, as the "entrance to the museum," is an interactive space where visitors can learn and discover through taxidermy and their five senses.

A community space where people can connect with each other through their daily lives and the town, a place where people can call out "Hey!" We proposed opening the condominium sales center to the community so that local residents and new residents who will be living in the condominium can get to know each other. For local residents, this would allow them to have positive feelings towards the large apartment complex that will be built and to get a feel for the atmosphere of future residents even before it is completed. At the same time, we aimed to create a space that would be comfortable for prospective buyers. [Client's Challenges/Requests] Early integration between new condominium residents and the community is a major challenge. Given this social background, this project started with the idea that the sales center needed to be a starting point for a community that would be suitable for such a request. [Solution] As a starting point for the community, the sales center was planned based on a "traditional Japanese house" so that it would function as a "place" where "people who already live" and "people who will live" in the community can connect, drop by, and interact. The "earthen floor" connects the exterior and interior spaces, the "living room" is a place where users can converse, and the "veranda" is a space where people can easily chat with local residents. Through these concept design, we were able to visualize the local community and provide an updated lifestyle. [Customer's Voice] We received cooperation in many aspects, from concept creation, planning, introduction of operators, design, and construction, and we believe this project was only possible because of your company's teamwork. Thank you very much. <Our Project Members> [Sales/Project Management] Shinpei Watanabe, Yuri Utsugi [Planning] Shoko Miyazaki, Taku Sugimoto [design, layout] Ryo Onishi, Hiroaki Koshizen, Kenta Omoto [Production/ construction] Soji Wakasugi Photography: Nakasa & Partners Co., Ltd.

EDOCCO, the Kanda Myojin Cultural Exchange Center, which we comprehensively produced from concept development to opening, is a facility that inherits tradition and creates new culture based on the concept of "tradition x innovation." It is a unique multi-purpose facility with four above-ground floors and one basement floor, which also includes the function of a shrine's amulet distribution office. Centered around a multi-purpose hall, it operates 365 days a year, hosting corporate presentations and displays on weekdays and transforming into a live music venue on weekends. Furthermore, the Japanese cultural experiences, which focus on preserving traditional performing arts and crafts, target inbound tourists. The facility incorporates mechanisms to improve visitor satisfaction, such as introducing merchandise sales and cafe services that will please visitors, while fostering collaboration with the local community. [Challenges/Themes] In 20 years, there are two challenges: the crisis that 40% of temples and shrines will disappear due to the effects of a declining birthrate and aging population, and the decrease in Shinto wedding ceremonies. This project started in response to the desire to increase the number of worshippers of shrines in the future. [Solution] By injecting marketing principles into the shrine and developing a plan to attract demographics that had not previously visited shrines (young people and inbound tourists), this facility was created, incorporating two functions: a multipurpose hall and a Japanese culture experience studio. The facility attracts three target groups—business people, young people, and inbound tourists—and is bustling with activity every day. <Our Project Members> [Producer] Kenichi Sakazume [Sales] Seiji Yamaguchi, Tsuyoshi Inami, Motoo Kawada [Planning] Keita Kobayashi, Yoshiko Watanabe [concept design] Ryo Onishi, Eri Okuyama, Nanako Wajun, Ayumi Sasai [Production] Shigeyoshi Takahara, Jun Endo, Hiroki Kimura ~Related Links~ [News Releases] ・Kanda Myojin Cultural Exchange Center "EDOCCO" to be comprehensively produced by Kenichi Sakazume, Chief Planner NOMURA Co.,Ltd.

Based on the concept of "Road to Wazuka," a place that makes you want to visit Wazuka Town, a famous tea-producing area located an hour from Kyoto City, we have renovated a Kyoto townhouse over 70 years old, located within a 10-minute drive from Kyoto Station, into a lodging facility available for rent as a whole unit. Our company participated in the townhouse renovation from the planning stage and was in charge of spatial production. We are challenging ourselves with a new spatial endeavor of "sending visitors from the city center to the countryside," and the various methods used to achieve this have ultimately become differentiating factors from other Kyoto townhouse lodging facilities. This opening project was carried out in collaboration with a team consisting of "NAZUNA," which handles the operation of lodging using townhouses, "Kiraku Japan," which provides financial support for the renovation of old houses, "Crowd Realty," which conducts real estate crowdfunding, and our company, which handles planning and concept design. Furthermore, the opening funds were raised through crowdfunding. Individual investors and participating companies who sympathize with the concept of "Road to Wazuka" and have a desire to contribute to the town and introduce Japanese culture to the world are working together to solve regional issues. <Our Project Members> [Space Production] Yasutoshi Yamano [concept design (interiors)] Takaaki Tani [Furniture and Decoration Coordination] Saki Ninomiya [Development] Nobuyuki Yagi [Sales] Yuji Takataka [Client's Challenges/Requests] (1) They want to renovate a Kyoto townhouse into accommodation mainly targeting foreign tourists. (2) They want to leverage a story-driven concept that is different from the many Kyoto townhouses that exist in the city. (3) The owner, who runs a cafe on the same premises that serves Wazuka tea, wants to promote the charm of Wazuka town. [Solution] We have prepared features within the facility that will make people want to visit Wazuka town. The bedroom, which is themed after the scenery of Wazuka town with rocks and a dry landscape garden, allows you to experience what it's like to sleep on the land of Wazuka town. The tea stand on the second floor is made by repurposing a tea box that was used in Wazuka town, allowing you to touch the real thing. Similarly, the wall graphics on the second floor are based on the patterns that were used on wooden boxes when tea was exported from Wazuka Town overseas at the time, and the fabric used is Nishijin-ori from Kyoto. The lighting in the atrium space was also created using light-blocking sheets used in the process of producing kabusecha tea in Wazuka Town. The space was designed as a "lodging-type antenna shop that fosters the motivation to want to go to fascinating places that have not yet been seen." In addition, an illustrated instruction manual was prepared to convey the features incorporated into the space to guests, and software was also created to help guests experience it. [Customer's voice] We feel that the concept and high level of concept design devised by NOMURA Co.,Ltd. resonated with the investors in this project, leading to the realization of an unprecedented lodging facility.

The Annual Layer Museum is the world's first museum dedicated to a single theme: "annual layers." Annual layers are layers of mud that have accumulated at the bottom of lakes over long periods of time. The annual layers of Lake Suigetsu, one of the scenic Mikata Five Lakes (Fukui Prefecture), record an enormous period of time—70,000 years—the longest in the world, and are deposited to a depth of 45 meters, recognized worldwide as the world standard for dating. One hundred thin slices of "shining soil = annual layers" are displays facing the lake, becoming a regional symbol that transcends the boundaries of a typical museum. Here, the landscape is also an displays. You can feel the changing passage of time, and as the sun sets, displays change their appearance along with the landscape. A harmonious worldview has been created where the boundaries between displays, architecture, and landscape are blurred. [Customer Feedback] "Annual layers" is a generally unfamiliar and difficult theme, but after repeated discussions and considerations to create displays that would satisfy visitors, we were able to create displays that is both academic and easy to understand, and has received high praise in visitor surveys and other feedback. <Our Project Members> [Sales & Project Management] Akihide Inoue [Planning] Kyohei Kishida [concept design] Sho Inanobe [Production & construction] Takeshi Suezaki, Nanae Hori, Riku Murata

The former Ohara family residence, a nationally designated important cultural property, is the home of generations of the Ohara family, who, starting with Ohara Magosaburo, founded companies such as Kurabo, Kuraray, the Ohara Museum of Art, and Kurashiki Central Hospital, laying the foundation for the development of Kurashiki. We aimed for this house to continue to grow as a catalyst—a place where people can recognize the great achievements of the Ohara family and discuss the present and the future. A portion of the publicly accessible area was designated as a "Conversation Space (Katalyzer)," realizing a contactless concept design using words, a family tree, and projection mapping. <Our Project Members> [Sales/Project Management] Shinpei Yuasa [Direction] Hirofumi Hirabayashi [design, layout] Hirofumi Hirabayashi, Kenichi Kishikawa [Production/ construction] Masahiro Hitobe

The Noriyama Satoyama Satoyama Sea Museum is a facility where visitors can experience the rich nature, wisdom of daily life, history, and culture nurtured in Nanao City. The museum does not categorize the charms of satoyama and satoumi as nature, history, or folklore, which cannot be captured in a unified manner, but rather as a fusion of fields and a multifaceted approach. The museum has set up mechanisms for both adults and children to enjoy, such as a spatial experience surrounded by insect and shell specimens, displays that tells visitors how fixed net fishing works, the experience of lifting Noto cold yellowtail, and a pull-out quiz. In the two-screen theater, a family's life and growth in the village are shown through images of Nanao's beautiful four seasons, drawing the viewer into the world of satoyama and satoumi. displays At the end of the room, we threw in the charms and challenges of satoyama and satoumi, creating an opportunity to think about the reality and the future of satoyama and satoumi. The client requested that we build a museum that creates the future based on the value of the 1,300 years of Noto Rikkoku life (nature, history, culture) and incorporate the perspectives of field museums, tourism, citizen collaboration, and local products. The Satoyama Sea is a system where people can coexist and sustain themselves with the nature they have nurtured. We proposed "Satoyama-Umi displays" as a comprehensive study by integrating various fields and conveying the concept in a multidisciplinary manner. The presentation also fosters civic pride by including a tourism introduction by a curator who guides visitors to Noto from a researcher's point of view and a video featuring citizens. In addition, the traditional crafts and local products of Noto Nanao are sublimated and expressed as elements of the space concept design, rather than being displayed as products. ＜Our project members ＞ [Sales/Project Management] Akihide Inoue, Masahei Kishida [Planning] Masahei Kishida, Tadashi Yuasa [design, layout] Tadashi Yuasa, Reiko Kagawa [Signage/Graphics concept design] Satoko Hasegawa, Tadashi Yuasa [Production construction] Shin Kameoka, Yoshihito Inoue, Yoshisei Shimode

Kamioka-cho, Hida City, Gifu Prefecture, is home to research centers dedicated to exploring the mysteries of the universe and elementary particles. The "Hida Space Science Museum Kamioka Lab" opened at the roadside station "Sky Dome Kamioka" as a place open to everyone, aiming to widely convey the appeal of research conducted using experimental equipment hidden 1,000 meters underground in the mountains of Hida, and to create a new relationship between science and society. Neutrinos (*1), mysterious elementary particles that are being researched all over the world, are the focus of this museum. The "Super-Kamiokande (*2)", the world's largest underground neutrino observatory, holds the key to unraveling the unsolved mysteries of the universe through neutrino research. Kamioka Lab aims to introduce the fascinating properties of neutrinos and provide a space where visitors can experience something far removed from everyday life, moving between the macroscopic world of the universe and the microscopic world of neutrinos. *1: One of the elementary particles whose name means "neutral" (meaning "without electric charge") and "ino" (meaning "small" in Italian). It is a mysterious elementary particle shrouded in mystery and is being researched all over the world. *2: Super-Kamiokande: The world's largest underground neutrino observatory operated by the Institute for Cosmic Ray Research, University of Tokyo. It investigates the properties of neutrinos themselves and aims to unravel the history of the universe using neutrinos. [Customer's Challenges/Requests] - To allow many people to experience Super-Kamiokande, which is only visited by about 1,000 members of the general public each year, through this facility. - To get many visitors interested in the activities and physics of Super-Kamiokande through the displays. [Solution] - To allow many visitors to experience and learn through immersive large-screen videos and games that are easy for visitors to understand. [Customer's Voice] We believe that the planning ability of NOMURA Co.,Ltd. Ltd. is behind the creation of this attractive facility despite not having a curator specializing in the research area of the exhibited subject. <Our Project Members> [Sales & Project Management] Haruya Miwa [Planning] Katsumi Hara, Kyohei Kishida [design, layout] Takaki Mizuno, Tadashi Yuasa [Production & construction] Hayato Ichimanda, Nanae Hori, Toshiyuki Suzuki, Katsumi Yamada, Yoshiaki Shimode

A first in aquarium history! A "storytelling" museum themed around "life." The concept is for the staff themselves to share what they have learned from their breeding activities within Kinosaki Marine World. The visuals and displays, expanding from the message-driven copy, are treated as a single graphic, and the entire space concept design. A large, impressive 25m x 5m video conveys the message of the Toyooka region's "Stork Breeding Project" along with the dynamic beauty of nature, telling the story of its progress. <Our Project Members> [Sales/Project Management] Noriyuki Iwamoto [concept design] Kenji Takahashi [Planning] Kyohei Kishida [Production] Akimitsu Kishi, Michitaka Funakura, Yonosuke Tokuda, Shigeo Nagao
