[Project Description] This project involved the development of a lively facility on the first floor of the Mitsubishi UFJ Bank Osaka Building, which was rebuilt. Planning began in the spring of 2013 and opened in August 2018. The cafe and gallery lounge were introduced with the goals of "enlivening the surrounding area and the Midosuji area" and "creating a high-quality space in a bank building." The gallery displays paintings and historical materials (currency, currency exchange tools, etc.) owned by the bank, providing a relaxing space where visitors can casually experience art and history. It also includes a corner introducing nearby landmarks and historical sites, encouraging visitors to explore the surrounding area. Our company was responsible for the development, including planning, consulting design, layout, planning, and supervision, as well as the production and construction of displays, furniture, and fixtures, and also provided some assistance with operations after the building opened. [Client's Challenge/Request] This project tested NOMURA Co.,Ltd., Ltd.'s comprehensive capabilities, including the planning and concept design skills required to realize the contradictory themes of "creating a lively atmosphere" and "creating a high-quality space." [Solution] The spatial concept design was based on the concept of "organic structure" + "simple structure," resulting in a high-quality, timeless, and simple concept design. By spatially connecting multiple elements such as a cafe, gallery, local displays, currency displays, ATM, and foreign currency exchange corner through a lounge, we aimed to create a facility where people with various purposes could gather in the same space, creating an integrated structure. Furthermore, by being involved in the operation of the facility after it opens, we will continue to be involved in the "creating a lively atmosphere" theme that has been a theme since the beginning of development. <Our project members> [Development] Motoo Kawata [Project management and sales] Motoo Kawata, Tomohide Nakamura [Planning and consulting] Hiroshi Yoshimoto, Reiko Kuroda, Rie Hasegawa, Nobuaki Yabe, Konomi Taki, Toko Takeuchi [design, layout] Masao Nemoto, Masahiro Hisakane [Production and construction] Hironari Ota, Takahiro Nakayama [Operation management] Motoo Kawata Photography: Masato Kono (Nacasa and Partners Co., Ltd.)

"SUSHI TOKYO TEN," has opened in Shibuya Stream. Shibuya is being reborn as a town where the younger generation returns to as working adults. We aimed to create a new type of sushi restaurant where the enjoyment of sushi feels familiar and fresh to the adults of that generation. By reinterpreting and expressing the "elegance" of Edomae and the unique "secret" feeling in a modern image, we created a sushi restaurant that is suitable for the new Shibuya town. [Customer's challenge/request] We were asked to create a restaurant where the realism of the counter, which is the best part of a sushi restaurant, can be felt throughout the restaurant, including the table seats. [Solution] We concept design a unified space from the eaves to the counter by covering the entire space of the restaurant with a single triangular roof. <Our project members> [Development] Jun Nakata [Sales/Project Management] Takayuki Mori [design, layout] Shinjiro Kondo, Nao Hiura

A renovation project for Bosch Corporation's Shibuya Head Office. We were in charge of planning, design, layout, and construction to renovate one floor on the 10th floor into a communication space. From our experience of renovating the 4th floor of our Head Office building into a communication space "RE/SP", we thought it was important to create a mechanism for employees to interact. Based on the concept of "SCRAMBLE for MEET UP" (people gather, hatch new ideas, and then take off again), we designed it with the aim of creating a place where diverse employees can gather and interact on a daily basis. In order to express the mix through encounters and exchanges, just like in Shibuya, where Bosch's Head Office is located, we collaborated with various artists to create a space that allows people to interact with an open concept design. We also participated in the creation phase, such as logo concept design and event planning and management. [Customer's challenge/theme] We were asked to concept design a place where employees could interact from a different perspective than the office floor, with the aim of revitalizing communication within the company and creating innovation. [Solution] We proposed a spatial configuration that would allow each employee to regain their vitality and deepen their connections. Specifically, with the aim of creating opportunities for communication that transcends age and departmental boundaries, the area has been divided into six major functions, including a counter where people can have casual conversations over a cup of coffee, a place to sit and relax on sofas, and a space to move around and refresh. By proactively incorporating furniture and art that will spark communication, we also aimed to create a place where spontaneous ideas that are difficult to generate in office areas can be born. There is also a product displays that allows people to experience Bosch's DNA, making it a place that provides hints for creating innovation. <Our project members> [Sales and project management] Ishii Kazushige, Murakami Kaori, Shishihori Tomoyo [design, layout] Yamanobe Manabu, Hagiwara Mitsutaka [Planning] Masubuch Kenta [Production and construction] Koike Tetsuji

With the theme of "building bonds with customers," elements actually used at the logistics sites supported by Hino Motors, such as truck frames and cargo, were reproduced and applied to the interior. Long-term relationships with customers are Hino Motors' most important business, and this was the message they most wanted to convey to customers and employees. The space is filled with elements that only customers and Hino Motors employees would notice, allowing one to intuitively feel the atmosphere of a logistics site from every angle, while at the same time reaffirming the bond of co-creation between the two parties as they grow through their truck products. <Our project members> [Sales and project management] Yamamoto Izumiichiro [Direction] Yoshinaga Mitsuhide [concept design] Takeda Shinpei [Sign and graphic concept design] Takeda Shinpei [Production and construction] Katsura Ryuichiro, Kawabata Toshiaki

As a Panasonic 100th anniversary event, the event was held over a total of 5,500 m2, with a product displays area tracing Panasonic's history over the past 100 years since the company's founding, and a general displays area showing Panasonic's vision and efforts for the future. By attempting to integrate giant video content into the space, a dynamic space was created, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the experience of life in the future. <Our project members> [Sales and project management] Tomoo Yamashita, Etsuko Nagano, Shikishima Shiho, Shunichiro Kohama, Ryo Sugaya, Makihide Ono, Hikaru Sato [design, layout] Shigeto Suga, Akane Yamaguchi, Hironori Yanase, Kazutomo Mukai, Kei Okumura, Daisuke Nishida, Yoshifuru Yamaji, Masako Tanaka, Mitsutaka Hagiwara, Mayumi Shigematsu [Planning] Nobuaki Yabe [construction] Kazuhiro Sano, Yoichi Miura, Mao Tamaki, Dai Shimizu, Hiromitsu Furuichi, Mikio Arai, Yuta Kumazawa

KASHIYAMA DAIKANYAMA is a new landscape in Daikanyama created by Onward Holdings Co., Ltd. It is a complex commercial facility consisting of a cafe on the B1 floor, an event space and lounge space on the 1st floor, a gallery on the 2nd and 3rd floors, a restaurant on the 4th floor, and a bar on the 5th floor. The building is like a hill made of stacked large and small U-shaped boxes, and aims to blend in with the streets of Daikanyama and create a space that feels like a stroll up a hill. In addition, the lighting and furniture are concept design using the same materials as the handrails on the exterior staircase of the building, connecting the outside and the inside, and creating a space with a sense of unity while having completely different atmospheres depending on the purpose of each floor. <Our project members> [Sales/Project Management] Watanabe Tsune, Imaizumi Hiroyoshi [Architecture/ interiors concept design] onndo: Aono Keita, Hotta Masumi, Watanabe Jun, Yoshie Masaru [interiors Design] Koyama Satoshi [interiors construction] Nakamura Yoshiyuki, Nakazato Naoki

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] 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.
