<Project Description> 3D printer technology liberates jewellery from gravity, creating "zero gravity." This is the first directly managed street store for the jewellery brand "TOMOKO KODERA," created by designer Tomoko Kodera, the first Japanese designer to win the Grand Prize at the 2015 HRD Awards International Diamond Jewellery Competition, sponsored by the world's largest diamond research institute. The wind = energy that appears in the pitch black world that evokes the universe is expressed through a collection of delicate lines. The jewellery, as a crystallisation of energy, floats in space like a galaxy. In order to express the "mystery" hidden in TOMOKO KODERA's creations, which are not bound by conventional concepts, in the space as well, all the jewellery displays on the tips of pipes suspended from the ceiling with displays parts developed using 3D printer technology. The jewellery shines at the tip of the rising energy. Photo: Tomooki Kengaku, Nacasa & Partners Inc

<Description of the project> Seven Park Ario Kashiwa, a large-scale shopping center that opened in April 2016, has attracted more than 1 million visitors within 10 days of its opening. "SKY KIDS" is a children's space within it, where local children can play safely and securely at any time. Therefore, as the main children's experience, we developed three interactive contents using multi-large screen signage, and "interactive play equipment" that responds to sound and light when touched or hit. It is a mechanism that aims to naturally train creativity, physical strength, and communication skills by letting children become absorbed in playing.

<Project description> The Kyoto Railway Museum, where visitors can experience the progress of Japan's modernization through the history of railways, has opened in Kyoto, a place that respects tradition while constantly innovating. The museum's basic concept is a "railway culture hub that advances with the local community." Its basic mission is to "contribute to the revitalization of the local community through business activities centered on railways," and it aims to coexist with the local community. We assisted with consulting, planning and design, and displays production. <Our project members> [Development] Nishimura Akihiko [Sales and project management] Iwamoto Noriyuki [Direction] Kurihara Takahiro [Planning] Yoshimoto Yukihiro, Kishida Kyohei [Consulting] Kurihara Takahiro, Yoshimoto Yukihiro, Okuda Ryuichi [Art direction] Okuda Ryuichi [design, layout planning] Mizuno Koki, Takahashi Kenji [Sign and graphic concept design] Umedani Shota, Yoshioka Mieko [Production and construction] Hirayama Akio, Takashi Akimitsu, Funakura Michitaka, Nakajima Masanori, Wakasugi Soji, Inoue Daisuke, Hara Hideo, Tsuge Katsuyoshi [Maintenance planning] Yasukawa Akihiro, Araki Tomokazu [Operation planning] Makura Tsutomu [public relations] Matsuura Hitomi, Yoshida Yuri, Sone Satoko

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------This facility closed for renovation in 2022 and reopened on April 18, 2023 as the new "Sunshine 60 Observatory Tenbo Park." (NOMURA Co.,Ltd. Ltd.'s scope of work: planning, design, leasing, construction, logo creation) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The new observation deck, "SKY CIRCUS Sunshine 60 Observatory," where visitors can enjoy the view and height in various ways, fully reopened on Thursday, April 21, 2016. Based on the concept of "SKY CIRCUS," this facility has evolved from an observation deck for viewing to an observation deck for experiencing. Using a variety of cutting-edge technologies, including VR technology, 4D experiences, interactive animation, and CG animation, this unique observation deck allows visitors to enjoy the view while also playing with technology. Nomura planned and produced this project in collaboration with Dentsu. You can enjoy content that is also conscious of inbound tourists, such as "Infinite Scape," an infinitely reflective video tunnel that projects images that express the changing seasons of Japan onto a giant kaleidoscope-like tunnel of light and mirrors, and "SKY Trampoline," a vertical jumping experience that lets you feel like you're flying through the sky at natural landmarks of each season photographed by drone. Furthermore, through industry-academia collaboration with educational institutions such as Joshibi University of Art and Design and Osaka University, new experiences are being created by turning technology into entertainment, such as "Kaleidoscope 60," where you can enjoy the sparkling "CUMOS cubic kaleidoscope" with 60 kaleidoscopes, and "Asobrella NEXT," where you can enjoy views, weather, and simulated experiences. For this facility, Nomura Development Co., Ltd., the NOMURA Co.,Ltd. Group's management of the "SKY CIRCUS SHOP" and "Cafe Quu Quu Quu," Nomura Techno Co., Ltd., the technical system for the stage equipment, and Nomura Products Co., Ltd., interiors fittings, leveraged our comprehensive capabilities to create a unique observation deck. <Customer's Comments> This project was not a typical observation deck renovation that simply cleaned up the interiors environment; it was a project to create new value for a new observation deck, a challenging project that truly required creating something from scratch. Therefore, as a client, we sought new ideas that would entertain, surprise, and delight our guests. Rather than simply making one-sided proposals, the project team engaged in free and open discussions, sometimes offering criticism to the client, and worked together with enthusiasm to create a design that successfully met our requirements. It was a great experience to experience a new renovation method that differed from previous competition-based renovations. <Our project members> [Sales and project management] Imaizumi Hiromasa, Yamaguchi Seiji, Azuma Kenji; [Planning] Sakazume Kenichi, Yasuda Tetsuro, Ichikawa Ai; [design, layout] Takahashi Tamae, Suzuki Yoko, Okamoto Kiwamu, Taechu Masataka; [Content planning and concept design] Yamada Ryuta; [Sign and graphic concept design] Chosa Yasuyuki; [Content production and construction] Kawabata Toshiaki, Hino Junpei, Kobayashi Kento, Nomura Techno Kobayashi Keiji, Kuga Yuki; [interiors fixture production and construction] Tomita Masao, Hirayama Satoshi, Nomura Products Inuma Yoji; [Operation management] Nomura Development Someya Kazuhiko, Mizuno Hajime, Inagaki Harue, Saito Yuki ([maintenance management] Nomura Techno Okubo Yoshitaka, Takeuchi Kazumasa)

[Project Summary] The "NGT48 Theater" is a dedicated theater for Niigata NGT48, the fifth idol group formed in Japan by the AKB Group, which opened on January 10, 2016. The project is being run by AKS Co., Ltd., and was brought to the "Labra 2" shopping complex (operated and managed by the Mitsui Fudosan Group) in Niigata City's central business district as a key attraction for customers. Unlike previous AKB groups, the group is attracting attention as an idol unit that will promote and revitalize the local area in many ways, and this is also reflected in the theater's concept, various mechanisms, and design. NOMURA Co.,Ltd. worked in collaboration with Shimizu Corporation from the early stages of planning, and was responsible for the theater's concept design, production equipment planning, and construction.

<Project Summary> This facility was planned and designed as a base for exchange and activities across business types and categories, operated by an affiliated organization of Mitsubishi Estate Co., Ltd. Aiming to realize a sustainable society for the next generation, the facility was named "3x3LabFuture" because the three elements of "environment," "economy," and "society" mesh like gears, and it is a "third place" that is neither a company nor a home. The purpose of the facility is to form various communities and create businesses that will lead to the future. <Client's Challenge> The client's challenge was to create a wide variety of gathering spaces where various business types and visitors, from one person to a large number of people, could interact and engage in activities, and to express the environmental advancement of the office facilities. <Solution> We planned and designed a space that can hold large seminars such as a "salon," a "communication zone" that can be freely moved and used, a "workshop kitchen" and a "future cafe" as exchange spaces using cooking as a medium, and a "wonderful corridor" where various displays can be held. All interiors materials, furniture, fixtures, etc. were selected with the environment in mind. <Our project members> [design, layout] Suzuki Echiyo, Onishi Ryo, Kosugi Kyoko [Production and construction] Marumori Yukio [Sales and project management] Kawai Shun

<Project Description> Mt. Fuji is a world cultural heritage that Japan is proud of. The Mt. Fuji World Heritage Center is a facility that raises awareness of the importance of learning and enjoying the value of Mt. Fuji, which was registered as a world heritage site as an object of faith and a source of artistic inspiration, from both the natural and cultural perspectives, and of preserving it for the future. Our company solved the problem of effectively conveying the "interestingness of learning about Mt. Fuji" to visitors, including many foreigners, by providing a spatial experience with audio, video, and lighting productions featuring non-verbal content (non-verbal displays), and an displays guide using the app "Fuji Meguri," which includes multilingual (7 languages) explanations and audio commentary narrated by Shuzo Matsuoka. The combination of "huge object structures" + "ICT content" + "lighting, audio, and video" creates an experience that can only be found here. [What is the original app "Fuji Meguri"?] It is AR content that works with about 30 displays items. You can enjoy AR where figures of people connected to Mt. Fuji start talking, and AR where ancient pilgrimage routes appear on a floor map with a diameter of 18m. In addition, if you take it outside, it can also be used as a tool to explain famous places such as temples, shrines, lakes, and hiking trails. <Our project members> [Development] Yokoyama Masanori [Sales/Project Management] Mizoguchi Kohei [Planning] Kameyama Yuichi, Ohashi Ryuta [design, layout] Tsutsumi Yuichiro [Digital concept design] Mima Hiroyoshi [Library concept design] Odagiri Toshihiko [Modeling concept design] Kishikawa Kenichi [Production/ construction] Yajima Kensaku, Ohara Yuka

■Project Description: "narafamily," a large, long-loved commercial facility in Saidaiji, Yamato, Nara Prefecture, underwent a transformation into a high-quality urban retail facility. A comprehensive renovation began in the spring of 2016 with a project investment of approximately ¥5 billion, resulting in a successful reopening in the fall of the same year. Collaborating with general producer Junji Tanigawa of JTQ Inc. and general creative director Ryu Kosaka of AND, environmental design concept explored the essence of Nara, based on "Yamato Modern." concept design expresses the strength of Nara, evoked by ancient temples and Buddhist statues, with a voluminous feel, while the dazzling arrangements offer a contemporary interpretation of the beauty of "Tenpyo culture," further enhancing the facility's distinctive character. The logo and facility signage were all revamped with a "Yamato Modern" concept design scheme. Furthermore, the facility's long-loved mascot, the camel "Pocola," was redesigned and installed in Camel Square as a second "Pocola" by sculptor Ryuichi Ohira. The renovation has significantly expanded the specialty store zone, and the facility has been redesigned to create an easy-to-understand shopping flow, with 55 new stores opening, including brands opening for the first time in Nara Prefecture, as well as fashion tenants and large household goods tenants.

[Project Summary] Weathernews Inc. opened its in-house nursery, "WNI RAIN KIDS HOUSE," with the aim of creating an environment where employees can balance childcare and their work lives. Located within the company's Makuhari Techno Garden complex, the nursery aims to foster a safe and secure working environment for employees. It also houses an after-school program for children up to sixth grade. The "RAIN" in the nursery's name embodies the company's desire to foster respectful, adventurous, and independent qualities in children. Weathernews requested a unique space design that would express this concept, as well as efficient functionality for mixed-age childcare, such as combining a nursery and after-school program. Our project team is comprised of working fathers and mothers. Drawing on their own childcare experience, we planned and designed the names of each class and the educational programs. We pursued Weathernews' unique identity down to the smallest details, from the space expressing "RAIN" to the logo graphics and design, and worked with Team M construction with safety and environmental considerations in mind. [Customer Feedback] We discussed various themes and concepts internally to create a facility unique to Weathernews, and NOMURA Co.,Ltd. was extremely helpful in bringing this to fruition, including the process. For example, the logo concept design and concept captured the hearts of our staff, and we were impressed with their idea of painting a weather chart from the company's founding on the floor, which we adopted. Nomura Co. NOMURA Co.,Ltd. provided a wide range of suggestions, and we were able to open a wonderful in-house nursery that is uniquely Weathernews.

<Project summary> A full-scale renovation was planned to address the decline in sales due to changes in the surrounding commercial environment, which arose as the facility infrastructure was due for renewal due to aging. The first large-scale renovation in 26 years was carried out by restructuring the MD taking advantage of the convenient location within the station, and unifying concept design image with a Japanese modern theme based on the renewal concept of "Hakata-like and new". We assisted with concept design, planning, construction and furniture and fixture manufacturing of the entire environment. <Customer feedback> The renewal concept was expressed through the greenery symbolized by Mining Square, the hanging wall concept design with a Hakata-ori motif, the different spatial presentation for each zone, the overlapping ceiling that gives an impression of "Japanese modern" and the warm interior lighting.

[Project summary] An interiors design project for a comprehensive medical and beauty building consisting of 12 floors. The interior concept design concept was "a 'movement' that people find comfortable," and by making use of the existing architecture and incorporating elements of movement such as "ripples in water," "moving light," and "sunlight filtering through the trees" into concept design, we established a new standard for medical facilities that is reminiscent of going to a high-quality SPA.

The Saga Prefectural Space Science Museum "Yumeginga" was established in 1999 as a communication facility that connects people and science. Since 2006, we have been the representative of the "designated manager" and are currently jointly managing it with Mavec Co., Ltd. The concept is "to develop children's scientific minds," "to convey the wonder of discovery and creation," and "to discover and recognize a comprehensive understanding of the universe, the Earth, and Saga, and their relationship with oneself." In addition to displays that enhance learning, we planned topical displays that can be enjoyed by tourists and disseminated nationwide. This facility has three zones: the "Saga Discovery Zone," the "Earth Discovery Zone," and the "Space Discovery Zone," and our company was in charge of all the zones when the museum opened. After a full renovation of the "Earth Discovery Zone" in the quarter century since its opening, we fully renovated the "Space Discovery Zone" in 2024. The concept of the renovation of the "Space Discovery Zone," where there are as many exciting things in space as there are stars, is "a long journey into space." The two perspectives of space science, which seeks to understand what the universe is, and space activities, which are humanity's attempt to pioneer the universe, are linked under the theme of "life." The displays space depicts on a grand scale where our life originates, where it is headed, and how it is related to the universe. We also aimed to create displays experience that makes visitors feel closer to the universe and broadens their perspective, leading to two existing zones on another floor.

[Project Summary] Tokyo Station, which celebrated its 100th anniversary in December 2014, has continued to develop and record its history together with the Marunouchi area, one of Japan's leading business districts. The development of the Marunouchi Plaza in front of Tokyo Station and redevelopment of the surrounding area are also underway, and the station is evolving toward the next new 100 years. In 2015, the Tokyo Michi Terrace 2015, a celebration of light to illuminate the future, was held in the Marunouchi area of Tokyo, the central district of Japan, with the hope of brightening the future. We assisted with the special lighting of the Marunouchi building of Tokyo Station in "traditional Japanese colors" and the light promenade on Gyoko-dori Street. In the light promenade, visitors were enveloped in light through the illumination of sculptures and lit-up trees, and the integrated production with the station building created a high-quality and elegant space suitable for the gateway to Japan. In a survey on light-ups/illuminations conducted by the Japan Event Industry Promotion Association on February 10, 2016, the special light-up at the Marunouchi Station Building of Tokyo Station was chosen as the number one light-up/illumination event people would like to see in the future.
