An experience-based food park for green tea, agriculture, and tourism. It is one of the largest markets in the prefecture, consisting of a market, restaurant, cafe, kids park, and tenant stores. The aim was to increase the income of local farmers and create a place that would become a hub for local tourism, and it was carried out as a four-party collaboration project involving the Oigawa Agricultural Cooperative, Shimada City, Oigawa Railway, and Central Nippon Expressway Co., Ltd. Our company was involved in everything from the basic and implementation plans to design, layout, construction, and tenant leasing. This project was produced by the Tokonatsu Infantry Corps, and we established a design JV with our company as the lead company, and played a central role in promoting the project up to its opening. [Social issues/customer issues/requests] The keywords are [agricultural promotion] and [regional promotion]. This region is one of the leading green tea producing areas in Japan, and tea farmers are absolutely confident in the quality of their tea, but as people are increasingly turning away from green tea, they had the challenge of not knowing how to promote its value or sell it. In addition, despite the Oigawa Railway's steam locomotives and the abundant tourist resources of the Oigawa River Basin, there was an issue of not being able to attract as many tourists as desired, so the goal was to create a base that would become a tourism hub for the region. We tackled the issues of creating a place where local farmers could sell their specialty products with confidence by promoting them in an attractive way, and creating a place where local people could recognize the charm of their local area and be proud of it. [Solution] 1. To be loved by the locals. 2. To make use of local resources. 3. To communicate in an easy-to-understand way We communicated the idea that what is "natural" to the region and farmers is valuable and attractive to people in other regions. By adding entertainment and concept design to it and creating a unique experience, we added value and made it into an attractive product and service. A new Oigawa Railway station was also opened, and it became a hot topic as a complex commercial facility that had never been seen in the region before, and it is bustling with many customers every day. <Our project members> [Sales] Aya Nishimoto, Keisuke Iwasa [Planning] Ryusuke Nomura [design, layout] Noriaki Tamura, Kan Fujimura, Midori Arai [Production and construction] Yoshiyuki Nakamura, Yuuki Saiki, Akihiro Yoshida, Sora Udagawa, Junhiro Kawatani [Leasing] Aya Nishimoto

A new normal illumination that fuses the real and the remote, sending a message of gratitude and encouragement from Tokyo to medical professionals, essential workers, and all those who are moving toward the new normal.

This project involved planning, design, layout, and construction the observation route and environmental learning corner at Morigoshi, Kikuchi Environmental Factory Clean. "Guided by a single line, you will explore the story. Waste processing observation route" Guided by a single line, you can read explanations of the waste processing equipment visible through the observation window, peek at the equipment in operation 24 hours a day, and learn about the process of waste processing while taking quizzes. We concept design a sugoroku-like information space that eliminates the boundaries between the walls and floors and combines explanatory graphics, displays content, and sign graphics in a single line. "Compare two worlds, think, and realize. Environmental learning corner" We created a space that is divided into two at eye level: a world that reduces waste (light blue) and a world that does not reduce waste (achromatic color). We concept design displays that encourages people to think for themselves and raise awareness about how they should live with waste as individuals, comparing the two worlds on various scales, from the earth to the local area to daily life.

"Illumination Island Odaiba" is an event that has been held every year in which commercial facilities, accommodation facilities, transportation facilities, etc. in the waterfront sub-center area all light up at the same time. In 2020, a first attempt was planned to create a production not only at individual facilities but also in the public areas between the facilities, and our proposal was selected as a result of a proposal competition. In addition to concept design the illumination production, construction, and security patrols during the event, we were responsible for a one-package project that also included effectiveness verification, analyzing the impact on social media and the attributes of event attendees.

This project involved converting the old Kiyomizu Elementary School building, which has a history of about 90 years and remains in Kiyomizu, Kyoto, into a hotel. It has been reborn as a hotel that combines modern comfort while retaining its distinctive design. We were in charge of architectural design supervision, interiors design, layout, and FF&E concept design and construction. Kiyomizu Elementary School is one of the schools that has been evaluated as a unique building with unique features in its location, exterior decoration, and interiors concept design. Based on the hotel's concept of "engraving memories and connecting them to the future," we paid the utmost respect to the historical Western architecture and its interior space, and concept design to revive memories while preserving and inheriting them. In addition, we fused the architecture and interior space as new functions to express nostalgia and newness. [Client's Issues/Requests] It was necessary to design it so that it would function as a hotel while making use of the architecture of the existing historic elementary school. We also had to have repeated discussions about what kind of hotel would be acceptable to the Kyoto area. [Solution] We worked with creators on every detail, including architecture, landscape, interior, FF&E, artwork, graphics, and uniforms, to create a completely new and unique space. While the corridors and staircases where elementary school children once ran around have been preserved, when you open the doors to the classrooms where the children once studied, you will enter a completely different contemporary world. In order to maximize the value of the existing details that are valuable in the history of the architecture and interior space, we stuck to materials that do not overshadow but highlight them. The reflection of the materials reflected in the semi-gloss finish enhances the existing architectural design. We aimed to create a spatial composition with a "seeming" that can only be experienced here, by coordinating the total design of concept design, graphics, uniforms, etc., and harmonizing the interiors and FF&E concept design in a well-balanced way. <Our project members> [Sales/Project management] Toru Moenuki [design, layout / design supervision] A.N.D.: Ryu Kosaka, Shohei Urata, Hiroki Yasuda / Hiroyuki Nishikawa [FF&E concept design] A.N.D.: Kaori Sano

"Tokyo Gift Palette" is a new specialty shopping mall developed near the Yaesu North Exit of Tokyo Station, with a total of 33 brands. The pillars and ceilings of this facility, the gateway to Tokyo, are made of recycled aluminum from the body of the 700 Series Shinkansen, which was retired from the Tokaido Shinkansen in March 2020. The building is decorated with images of cherry blossom petals and noren curtains, befitting a terminal station, and is a sustainable space with high added value that connects people's thoughts by taking advantage of the high quality and fine feel unique to the 700 Series Shinkansen. We participated in this project by Tokyo Station Development Co., Ltd., and were involved from the development stage of the building materials, and were in charge of production, construction production, and project management for the environmental area interiors work. This is the first time that recycled aluminum that does not contain any additives has been used to decorate a commercial space since the start of Shinkansen operation in 1964, and this project won the Development Award from the Japan Aluminum Association.

"Technology for creating a comfortable forest" Panasonic Center Osaka Re-Life Salon is a space where Panasonic's technology has been used to create a comfortable forest, with the hope that people can relax and become well-being. By combining various technologies such as sound, video, material processing, and airflow control with natural materials, we express the circulation of heaven and earth in the natural world and invite you to a comfortable experience that resonates with the five senses. [Social issues / Customer issues / Requests] Our role was to use Panasonic's technology to materialize the message of the facility's theme, "Enrich your life even more." [Solution] We incorporated healing elements that enrich life and constructed the entire space around concept design concept of "forest." Panasonic's technology was incorporated into a space composed of natural elements, creating a space where you can actually experience comfort. By combining concept design and technology and embodying the space, we created a place where the message of the entire facility can be conveyed. [Customer feedback] Panasonic's spatial solution technology has been physically incorporated into the concept design forest, creating a space that allows many customers to experience nature. Even now, it has become a salon area where many customers can naturally gather, and we feel that it functions as the face of the entrance to Panasonic Center Osaka. From the planning stage, NOMURA 's sales, designers, and construction teams worked together to think about this, and we are grateful for the support they provided to make this space a reality. <Our project members> [Sales and project management] Yusuke Mori, Hidenobu Kumagai [Planning] Masahiko Ohi [design, layout] Asako Hashimoto, Hiroaki Mori [Production and construction] Masao Ogawa ~Related links~ [Related achievements] ・Panasonic Center Tokyo ROOM S ・Panasonic Museum Konosuke Matsushita History Museum ・Panasonic Center Osaka "Re Life Story: A home connected to nature where you can play innocently and immerse yourself in nothingness" ・Wonder Life-BOX 2020 (inside Panasonic Center Tokyo) ・Panasonic Center Osaka

In March 2021, NOMURA, Ltd. opened a new office in the Daiba Garden City Building adjacent to its headquarters (Odaiba, Tokyo) that is suited to the new normal era. The company aims to encourage employees to communicate and demonstrate greater creativity while taking advantage of the diverse work styles and values of NOMURA Group. In 2019, the NOMURA Group launched a group company base consolidation project with the aim of creating an environment in which employees can work together and demonstrate greater synergy. In response to the changes in work styles and social issues caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the company set three keywords, "health," "experiment," and "brand," and explored the nature of real office space in the new normal era to create "future work styles." - We believe that the function of the office in the new normal era will change from a "workplace" to an "innovative space that induces communication," where diverse human resources from inside and outside the company gather and actively exchange opinions and have chance encounters that are unique to the real world. Therefore, the communication space "RESET SPACE_2" was designed with the concept of "Unique Park" and was planned as a park-like space that any employee can use to suit their diverse and unique work styles. 100% fairwood is used. ・CONFERIUM is a proposal for a new conference room area, and is an attempt to "displays the behavior of working styles" that proactively shows unique meetings. The know-how used in displays spaces was applied to office spaces, such as darkening the common corridors to highlight the conference rooms as displays. ・Group addresses were adopted in the creative work area. In addition, the creative floor allows concept design work to be done while keeping in mind the "sense of concept design" such as the sense of scale and texture of materials, which are great strengths when concept design. By clarifying the purpose, it became a low-cost and sophisticated space. This project was planned, designed, construction, and operated by NOMURA Group.

Shizuoka's Kiuchi Construction Co., Ltd. constructed a new office building as part of its 100 year anniversary project. We were asked to create a gallery to introduce the company's 100 year history in displays, for the purpose of recruiting and communicating with clients. By showcasing the 100 year history chronology from its foundation to the present and the trajectory of its challenges in construction technology, we aimed to deepen the understanding of its history and create a space that can be effectively used as a communication tool for Kiuchi Construction to build the next 100 years. [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] • The company requested a design that clearly represents the characteristics of Kiuchi Construction and has a sense of dignity. ・ We were requested to present the information in a way that is easy for recruiters and clients to understand, and for subcontractors to recall projects they had worked on in the past and to have conversations with Kiuchi employees. ・ Regarding displays, we were asked to guarantee renewability. 【 Solution 】 Concrete was used as the core of the space expression in order to express the characteristics of a company that has developed by actively engaging in the concrete business with its own factory. The concrete that underpinned the company's growth has also been used as displays fixtures, allowing the company to feel the weight of its history and creating an impactful appearance. On the wall is a graphic sheet chronology showing the transition of a company from its founding to its post-war reconstruction, which overcame booms and busts while constantly responding to the needs of the times and growing. The showcase in the center shows a diorama model of a moment of technological challenge that has been a milestone in our 100 year history. Instead of displaying the finished building, we used a model of the construction scene to make it easier to understand. In addition, by elaborately representing the people involved in the construction work as a model, we created a realistic displays in which you can hear the sounds of the site and even the breathing and voices of the people of Kiuchi Construction and its partner companies, making it easy to initiate communication. < our company Project Members > 【 Sales 】 Ken Kumagai 【 design, layout 】 Kihiro Kitamura 【 Production/construction 】 Kazuo Maeda

The Yamato Group History Museum Kuroneko Yamato Museum was established to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Yamato Group's founding. This museum, which communicates the Yamato Group's 100-year history and future initiatives, was opened in the Yamato Konan Building, which was built as the group's next-generation base, and combines a collection and distribution center with a history museum, a research institute to explore the future of logistics, a training center for human resources development, and a cafe to support the social independence of people with disabilities. The museum has a spatial structure unique to a logistics company, where visitors can trace the 100-year history and changes in the world by descending the spiral road on the building's perimeter where the transport trucks run, and the spiral displays space created above and below the road is superimposed on the "road" that the Yamato Group has walked. The exhibition is divided into four periods spanning from the company's founding to the present. Visitors can feel the changes over the years through the cityscapes that were the stage for the company's history, its sales offices at the time, and the state of society and consumers. By experiencing the efforts that went into developing services through "visual displays" and the thoughts of its managers and employees that were put into them, displays aims to combine space and experience, allowing visitors to relive the Yamato Group's 100-year growth.

For humans, whose natural state is life on land, spending long periods at sea is stressful both physically and mentally. To achieve this balance, the design proactively incorporates land-based elements that contrast with sea-based elements, such as the "vertical" of plants that grow vertically against the "horizontal" nature of the ocean surface, the "straight" of buildings and windows against the "curves" of waves and fish, and the "heavy" nature of trees and rocks against the "floating" nature of ships and bubbles. For the exterior, the shop name has been disassembled and reconstructed, and Japanese patterns reminiscent of lanterns and kumiki joinery are depicted. <Our project members> [Sales/Project concept design] Fujime Ryo, Suda Keita [concept design /Basic Plan] no.10: Aono Keita, Suzuki Shohei [schematic design / working drawings / interior administration] no.10: Suzuki Shohei

~A station building as a community space where everyone can feel comfortable, not just waiting for trains~ Based on the concept of creating a place that fosters community, we conducted workshops and questionnaire surveys with local residents from the concept stage. We identified user needs and reflected them in the design. In order to create an opportunity to experience various cultures through books while spending time in the station building, we also set up a corner where people can read books and picture books. In order to convey the charm of local resources through the use of the station building, we actively used the local specialty "Obi cedar" in various places in the space, and planned and produced the creation of a space where users can experience the charm of Obi cedar through their own experience. [Customer's Issues/Requests] We received a request to turn Nichinan Station, which was a place with no place to go before the renovation and was only a place to get on and off trains, into a place that fosters the local community and feels the "charm of the area." [Solution] In order to convey the appeal of local resources through the use of the station building, we worked with the local design firm, Ryohin Keikaku Co., Ltd. to actively use the local specialty "Obi cedar" throughout the space, and to create an opportunity for users to experience the appeal of Obi cedar through physical experience, we used wood for the station building facade and window frames while harmonizing with the forest behind the station building. In addition, we implemented a sign plan that allows the station to be recognized from afar, and produced a space that harmonizes and blends with the surrounding environment with a wood theme. [Customer feedback] People other than JR users have started to visit the station building, and it has been renovated into an attractive space where local people can gather. We would like to continue using the station building as a place for the local community, such as holding events in the future. <Our project members> [Sales] Ibe Reiko [Planning and production, workshop concept design, and design supervision] Matsumoto Mari ~Related links~ [News releases] ・ NOMURA, Ltd. opens old house restoration facility as first project in public-private partnership to revitalize the local area in Nichinan City, Miyazaki Prefecture ・Nichinan City, Miyazaki Prefecture and NOMURA sign "Comprehensive Partnership Agreement on Regional Revitalization" ・Nichinan City, Miyazaki Prefecture and NOMURA sign "Regional Revitalization Corporate Exchange Program" ・ NOMURA works as a creative partner in co-creating the local community [Media coverage] ・2019.07.05 "Kensetsu Tsuushin Shimbun" ・2020.04.01 "Nichinan Television" ・2020.04.07 "Miyazaki Nichinichi Shimbun" [Related achievements] ・Plus D Nichinan branch ・Kiraku Obi Aiya Residence ・DENKEN PJM Photo: Park concept design Co., Ltd.

A public relations displays space was set up alongside the G20 summit, which attracted 30,000 people from around the world, including press and other related parties. The exhibition area features a floating cutting-edge technology displays with a motif of a futuristic miniature garden floating in the ocean, a food stall-style live kitchen, and a shining white cultural area that expresses hope from the reconstruction to the Olympics. The three different areas are seamlessly connected and fused together to concept design a new style of presentation experience that allows people to relax and enjoy the present of Japan. [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] We were asked to express Japan's innovative technology and ideas that will realize a virtuous cycle of environmental conservation and growth, and create a new era that is rich for both people and the planet. [Solution] At the G20 Osaka Summit, we actively worked to reduce waste based on the idea of "3R" + "Renewable sustainable resources," and in the public relations displays, we exhibited cutting-edge technology and spatial concept design for the problem of marine plastic waste. The exhibition is structured to displays Japan's technology and efforts in plastic resource circulation, divided into stages: "reduce," "replace," "reuse," "recycle," "recover," and "displays." It is feared that by 2050 the ocean will contain more plastic waste than fish, so we expressed a beautiful ocean on the floor to promote Japan's commitment to protecting the ocean. <Our project members> [Sales/Project Management] Yuji Hayami, Yasuo Ogawa, Shigeyuki Ishiyama [design, layout] Yutaka Hanaoka, Takayuki Kobayashi [Production/ construction] Yu Kimura, Yoichi Miura, Yukari Isahashi, Shigenori Ueno, Yuka Tabata, Yuki Higashihara

In front of you is the Seto Inland Sea, a beautiful archipelago that Japan is proud of around the world. Enjoy a rich time watching the dolphins living in a pool that blends into the beautiful sea. The interior of the aquarium is designed with "sound, light, scent" and the "flow of displays" to allow visitors to "enjoy the changing expressions." We aimed to create an aquarium where visitors can come into contact with the history and culture woven by living things and people, and awaken their five senses. [Social issues/customer issues/requests] There was an issue of wanting an environmental design that would make the aquarium a place of integrated customer satisfaction that goes beyond just exhibiting living things. Shikoku Aquarium is also the gateway to Shikoku. An environmental design appropriate for such a facility was needed. [Solution] We proposed an environmental design that would allow visitors to "enjoy expression." displays concept was "Exploring the story of water and life," and various contents were created to promote the new Shikoku-ness. ・Welcome Booth Nihonkaisui, which has been dealing with marine resources, is here to convey the charm of the oceans of Shikoku at Shikoku Aquarium. The design expresses the form that is derived by combining the form that Shikoku Aquarium aims for and Nihonkaisui's corporate philosophy. The booth is made up of an aquarium presentation using artificial seawater, which is a company product, and a video presentation that evokes salt art. [Customer feedback] ・Welcome Booth We asked them to create a space that would be displays for the aquarium and also serve as our corporate branding, and it turned out to be a classy booth that harmonizes our main product, salt, with living creatures. It was well received by visitors, and we feel that it has greatly contributed to improving our company's image. <Our project members> [Sales and project management] Tatsuya Fujii, Teruko Takai [design, layout] Kaoru Sone, Sho Inanobe, Yuichiro Ishida, Yoshihime Taka [Production and construction] Takeshi Suezaki / Nomura Techno Co., Ltd.: Shigeo Nagao / Nomura Products Co., Ltd.: Yoshiyuki Yamazaki
