"Sho-u-kan" is a part of the former residence of Count Abe, the former lord of the Fukuyama Domain, built in 1892 in Nishikata-cho, Hongo-ku, Tokyo. In 1971, Tokio Kasuga, the founder of Green Stamp Co., Ltd., relocated and restored it in Karuizawa, and it has been used as a memorial hall for the Green Stamp Karuizawa dormitory. In 2020, Sho-u-kan was renovated at the same time as the newly renovated annex, to be used as a retreat facility by both Green Stamp Co., Ltd. and Kennedyx Co., Ltd. Our company was in charge of the design and interior administration of the Sho-u-kan renovation, including seismic retrofitting, as well as the installation of FF&E (First Floor & Energy) equipment throughout the facility. [Social Issues / Customer Issues / Requests] Since its initial relocation, various additions and renovations have been carried out, and the connection to the other building is only made at the point of a corridor, and structural stress has been placed on the building, resulting in settlement. The entire facility was aging, and in the case of Sho-u-kan, it was difficult to use in winter due to the climate of Karuizawa. Also, although it originally had tatami mats, the frequency of its use had decreased due to changes in the lifestyle of Japanese people. However, there was a desire to renovate it while preserving as much of its original appearance as possible. [Solution] Based on an investigation of Sho-u-kan, it was restored as much as possible to its simple form from when it was relocated, and a seismic diagnosis was conducted to reinforce the structure to withstand seismic forces equivalent to those stipulated by the Building Standards Act. It faces the annex across a courtyard, giving a sense of unity to the entire facility. While respecting the original design as much as possible, the aim was to extend the period of use, including winters other than the coldest period, by installing insulation and air conditioning equipment in the unseen parts. Underfloor heating was installed and the flooring was changed to hardwood, and the walls added for seismic reinforcement were made to express the original image of the walls, fixtures, etc., and the upper half of the space was preserved as much as possible of the original design. <Our Project Members> [Sales] Kayu Tatsumi [Survey, design, layout, and interior administration] NAU1: Norio Koito [Production and construction] Mikiya Fujitaka

This project involves converting displays room within the Panasonic Center Tokyo into a VIP reception conference room. (Not open to the public) By utilizing the spatial composition that leverages human perception, 4K video is subtly incorporated into the space as if it were a material or landscape. Combined with ceiling height control and skylight effects using advanced lighting technology, the space is given a sense of spaciousness, pursuing a "comfortable atmosphere that encourages lively conversation." As the center receives many VIPs and state guests from both Japan and overseas, icebreaker elements have been incorporated throughout, such as ceiling designs inspired by the Japanese art of origami, video expressions reminiscent of a dry landscape garden, and scents that evoke a sense of Japanese aesthetics. Furthermore, handwritten patent application documents imbued with the founder's aspirations have been transformed into artwork and placed on the wall behind the head of the room, imbuing the space with soul. In conjunction with the lighting control, the scene can be switched according to various purposes, such as welcoming guests, dining, or meetings using multiple screens. While making full use of Panasonic's cutting-edge technology, we focused on understated expression to create an overall calm atmosphere, building a spatial value that combines novelty and high quality. <Our Project Members> [Sales/Project Management] Kei Yamazaki [Direction] Akane Yamaguchi [concept design] Shigemi Shimizu, Kiyoho Tani [Production/ construction] Hiromitsu Furuichi, Yuta Kumazawa

Jojoen, a renowned yakiniku (Japanese barbecue) restaurant founded in 1976, has planned its largest flagship store to date. At its founding location in Roppongi, many foreign customers visited the restaurant at the time, and the name of the restaurant comes from the sound of meat being grilled, which is pronounced "Jojo." Expanding on this idea from the sound of grilling meat, the concept of tone was adopted, and the finishes of materials such as Nishijin-ori (Kyoto textile), acrylic, stone, and glass were given characteristics that evoke a sense of rhythm. In addition, the piano booth was designed to visually appeal to the spread of sound during performance, creating a symbolic form. Drawing inspiration from the brand's history, this project strengthens the relationship between food, space, and sound. concept design aims to create a space that resonates with the five senses of customers and allows them to feel the happiness of food even more. <Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests> - To create a presence and sense of luxury befitting a flagship store. - To plan seating that can accommodate various occasions. <Solutions> -concept design utilizes the characteristics of materials such as wood, stone, Nishijin-ori, and acrylic.

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

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
