Works#Award Winning

[Project Overview] Weathernews Inc. established "WNI RAIN KIDS HOUSE" (pronounced "WNI Rain Kids House"), an in-house daycare center, with the aim of creating an environment where employees can balance childcare and career success. This in-house daycare center was established on the grounds of Makuhari Techno Garden, where the company is located, with the aim of creating an environment where employees can work with peace of mind, and it also has an after-school program that accepts children up to the 6th grade of elementary school. The name "RAIN" in the daycare center reflects the company's wish for children to develop respectfulness, adventurousness, and independence. The company requested a unique spatial design that would express the concept, as well as efficient functionality to accommodate mixed-age childcare by combining a daycare center and after-school program. Our company's project members consist of working fathers and mothers. Leveraging their childcare experience, we planned and designed the naming of each class and the educational programs. The space expresses "RAIN," and every detail, from the logo graphics to the design, reflects Weathernews' unique style. Working in collaboration with Team M, the design and construction also prioritize safety and environmental considerations. [Customer Feedback] We discussed various themes and concepts internally to create a facility unique to Weathernews, and NOMURA Co.,Ltd. skillfully brought that process to life. For example, the logo concept design and concept resonated with our staff, and we were impressed by the idea of drawing a weather map from our founding day on the floor, which we adopted. Thanks to NOMURA Co.,Ltd. Kogeisha's wide range of proposals, we were able to open a wonderful in-house daycare center that truly reflects Weathernews's spirit.

<Project Overview> Due to the aging of the facility's infrastructure and the need for replacement, and in response to declining sales due to changes in the surrounding commercial environment, a complete renovation was planned. Taking advantage of the excellent location inside the station, the merchandise was restructured, and based on the renovation concept of "New and Hakata-like," a large-scale renovation project, the first in 26 years, was carried out with a unified Japanese modern concept design image. Our company assisted with the overall environment concept design, planning, construction, and furniture and fixture manufacturing. <Customer Feedback> The renovation concept was expressed through the greening symbolized in the Maing Plaza, the hanging wall concept design with a motif of Hakata weaving, the different spatial designs in each zone, and the double ceiling and warm interior lighting that give an impression of "Japanese modern."

[Project Overview] This project involved interiors design of a comprehensive medical and beauty building consisting of 12 floors. The interior concept design concept was "a sense of 'fluctuation' that people find comfortable." By incorporating elements of fluctuation such as "water ripples," "movement of light," and "sunlight filtering through trees" into concept design while utilizing the existing architecture, a new standard for a medical facility was established, reminiscent of a high-quality spa.

The Saga Prefectural Space Science Museum "Yumeginga" was established in 1999 as a communication facility connecting people and science. Since 2006, our company has been the representative of the "designated manager," and currently operates it jointly with Mabec Co., Ltd. The concept is to "nurture children's scientific spirit," "convey the wonder of discovery and creation," and "discover and recognize a comprehensive understanding of space, Earth, and Saga, and their relationship to oneself." Along with displays that enhance learning, we have planned displays that cater to tourists and are noteworthy enough to be shared nationwide. The 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 zones when it opened. Over the course of a quarter of a century since its opening, the "Earth Discovery Zone" underwent a complete renovation, and in 2024, the "Space Discovery Zone" underwent a complete renovation. The concept for the renovation of the "Space Discovery Zone," which is full of excitement like the stars in space, is "A long journey to space." This exhibition connects two perspectives—space science, which seeks to unravel the mysteries of the universe, and space activities, in which humanity challenges itself to explore space—through the theme of "life." The entire displays space grandly depicts where our lives originate, where we are headed, and how we interact with the universe. Furthermore, the aim is to create displays experience that makes the universe feel closer and broadens visitors' perspectives, leading them to the two existing zones on other floors.

[Project Overview] Tokyo Station, which celebrated its 100th anniversary in December 2014, has continued to develop and engrave its history alongside Tokyo's Marunouchi area, one of Japan's leading business districts. With the development of the Tokyo Station Marunouchi Plaza and the redevelopment of the surrounding area progressing, its evolution is moving towards the next 100 years. In 2015, with the wish to illuminate the future brightly from Tokyo's Marunouchi area, the heart of Japan, the "Tokyo Michiterasu 2015" celebration of light was held. Our company assisted with the special illumination of the Tokyo Station Marunouchi building using "traditional Japanese colors" and the illuminated promenade on Gyoko-dori. In the illuminated promenade, visitors were enveloped in light through sculptural illuminations and tree lighting, and the integrated presentation with the station building created a high-quality and dignified space befitting Japan's gateway. In a survey on light-ups/illuminations conducted by the Japan Event Industry Promotion Association on February 10, 2016, the special light-up of the Tokyo Station Marunouchi Building was selected as the number one light-up/illumination event that people would like to see in the future.

[Project Overview] In 2015, Yaskawa Electric, celebrating its 100th anniversary, reorganized Head Office headquarters in Kurosaki, Kitakyushu City, and opened "Robot Village," a community open to the local area and society. "YASKAWA Forest," where visitors can enjoy nature throughout the seasons, is open to the public, and at its heart is the "Yaskawa Electric Future Museum," where customers, schools, research institutions, and local residents can experience Yaskawa Electric's business, the fun, amazing, and meticulous aspects of manufacturing, and the latest robotics technology with interest. Our company was in charge of "creating the space" and "creating the content" for this facility, which further brings out the appeal of Yaskawa Electric. We designed this space not only to allow all visitors to easily experience and understand Yaskawa Electric's business and technology, but also to create a space filled with surprises and discoveries where cutting-edge technology and emotional sensibilities resonate, allowing them to feel firsthand the future of Japan's world-class "monozukuri" (manufacturing) and Yaskawa Electric, which is leading it. We integrated all the elements that color the space, such as mechatronics, video content, and lighting, into a unified concept design. In particular, the "Robotics Signage," which utilizes the dynamic movements and coordinated control technology of Yaskawa Electric's representative industrial robots, and the "Mechatronics Wall," which combines the 3D control of industry-leading motors with the latest projection mapping images, are unique spatial presentation devices that stimulate all the senses of viewers, helping to infinitely expand the possibilities and appeal of "monozukuri." Furthermore, we assisted in the creation of this facility from a total perspective, from the basic concept of space creation and appeal creation to concept design, planning and production of content, and construction. <Credits> Overall concept design: Keiyu Tamura, Yosuke Ando Planning and Production: Kenji Ogino, Naomi Kajimura Content Direction: Kenji Suzuki, Akinori Goto, Hiromasa Hosoya Product Direction: Jiro Kusunoki, Masaki Yotsuya Photography: Nakasa & Partners, Masato Kono *At the time of the project

This project was planned for the area of Platinum Street in Shirokane, lined with restaurants. On a 35-meter-wide site, the aim was to create a building that felt both new and old, with a pleasant atmosphere and a sense of "evoking memories." Aiming to become a landmark in the city as a complex dining space, our company assisted with schematic design and design supervision. A sense of "openness" was required in the architecture, so we created a sense of openness and shielding with folded cement stones, and materials that appear to be eroded by wind and light. This also contributed to creating the atmosphere of "a dry southern land," which was a key concept design word for the interior. Based on a consistent concept, we assisted with everything from interiors concept design to planting and artwork selection to achieve a unified interior that allows you to feel the wind, light, greenery, and water flowing in from the outside. When viewed from the outside, interiors concept design, which extends to the terrace, combines with the landscaping plan to become one of the elements that adorn the facade, and the architectural facade becomes a borrowed landscape from the interior space, creating a space where the inside and outside complement each other. The facility has a dining area, a teppanyaki restaurant, two banquet halls, and a chapel, and all kitchens are either walk-in or open kitchens. The anterooms of the chapel and bucket are separated by glass, emphasizing unobstructed views and spatial continuity within the facility. In addition to being open to the street, the texture created by the materials that have already aged gives the impression that it has been there for a long time, and we believe that it will become a distinctive landmark while also building a close relationship with the city. ◎Our Group Project Members [Sales] Hisayasu Takenaka, Takuya Kitai [Direction] Ryu Kosaka [design, layout] Architecture: Hiroyuki Iizumi Interior: Reiko Saito, Masahiro Hisakane [Production/ construction] Keiji Idei

[Project Overview] Toranomon HOP is a bar located in Toranomon Hills where you can enjoy a wide variety of German beers. In order to embody the "Gathering Hub" concept of the Toranomon Hills commercial stores, we aimed to create a store where borderless communication could be born. More than half of the store's walls face the building's curtain wall, and the location overlooks the outdoor garden "Oval Plaza," so we created a space that projects its presence to the plaza while simultaneously providing a comfortable feeling of being surrounded by wood. The bar counter expresses the style of German beer with a heavy mortar finish using traditional motifs, and all the counter tops and furniture that you touch are made of thick solid wood with a band saw finish, resulting in a friendly form. In addition, the standing tables that extend outwards create a lively atmosphere like a street-level store where people and goods spill out into the street. Our company assisted with design, layout.

[Project Overview] The Takenaka Carpentry Tools Museum opened as Japan's only museum dedicated to carpentry tools, based on the theme of "connecting people and nature, connecting tradition and innovation." Carpentry tools have a harsh fate: the higher the quality, the more they are used until they wear out and eventually disappear. To pass on the wonder of these disappearing carpentry tools and the "spirit of craftsmanship" to future generations, the museum is designed to allow visitors to experience the skills, wisdom, and dedication to their work through life-size models and tools, videos, photographs, workshops, and other sensory experiences. Our company assisted with design, layout, interior administration, construction, and construction supervision. [Client Feedback] They delved deeply into each theme, pursuing the best possible concept design for each displays, not just superficial aspects. Even during construction, they carried out the work very carefully, including checking prototypes. By introducing participatory displays that were not present in the old building, the number of family visitors increased, and the expected results were achieved.
