This project renovated the commercial area of the Panasonic IMP Building, an office building in Osaka Business Park. As the station previously planned for this building still remains underground, we chose the station as concept design motif, hoping that the building would become a hub where people gather, as in the previous plan. The round columns that extend across the multiple floors of the facility were given a strong mortar-like finish and metal framing to create the base of a colonnaded space reminiscent of a station. In the atrium on the west side, this framing forms a continuous arch shape like the station's arcade, and by responding to the existing R ceiling, it creates a sense of unity with the atrium. Within this, the black/gold/verdigris colors and stone wall/plum shapes of the Osaka Castle adjacent to the building were incorporated into the FF&E and fixtures, giving it an affinity with the memories that this land has inherited from 400 years ago. In addition, as many companies are creating environments where people can work outside the office due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we created a place to work in the common areas of the commercial area and explored how a commercial office building could fit new work styles. Furniture has been placed throughout the commercial area to meet a wide range of needs, from meetings to individual work. Each piece of furniture has been designed with various ingenious features, such as sofas with L-shaped expandable tops, high-back chairs that limit visibility and improve concentration, and counter chairs with coat hangers. Plants have been placed as partitions to ensure comfort, and the space can be used primarily as a workplace on weekdays and as a rest area for tourists on weekends. As an open workplace where a variety of people can gather, including not only office workers in the IMP Building but also those working within Osaka Business Park and even visitors to the city, we aimed to create a place where new ways of working and new communication can be born.

This project involved renovating an old folk house in the Odoi district of Izu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, into a rental accommodation facility. This area was once a quiet residential area for magistrates, and the plan sought to offer a stay that incorporates the surrounding environment, allowing guests to experience the slow flow of time. The main house features a kitchen with services such as dinner prepared by a visiting chef and alcohol served from a movable bar. For interiors, we utilized local materials, attempting to create a space using local materials, just as they were in the Edo period, such as mud walls made from local soil and dining tables made from locally grown cherry wood. [Social Issue/Customer Issue/Request] To maximize the potential of this rental old folk house, the client requested an appealing spatial concept design that took into account the characteristics of the site. [Solution] While leveraging the charm of the existing building, we incorporated a spatial configuration that maximized the surrounding views and finishes that utilized local soil. <Our project members> [Sales and project management] Hiratsuka Shinya, Yagi Nobuyuki [Overall supervision] Koito Norio [Planning] Ninomiya Saki [design, layout] Inoue Hirofumi ~Related links~ [Release] ・ NOMURA Co.,Ltd., Ltd.'s social good activities: LOQUAT Villa SUGURO case study: Creating an auberge space that is colored by the charm of the region ・Projects for which NOMURA Co.,Ltd. handled spatial concept design win numerous awards, including the silver award, at the Japan Space concept design Awards 2022 [Related achievements] ・LOQUAT Nishiizu

Located near Shijo Omiya in Kyoto, this project renovated an entire alley lined with townhouses built over 110 years ago into an inn. Passing through the reception building, you will find 23 guest rooms, a warehouse, and a restaurant building lined up along the stone-paved alley, creating a gorgeous view reminiscent of the entertainment district of the Edo period. There are five types of guest rooms, all themed on the natural beauty of Kyoto, allowing you to experience the charm of the region in both tangible and intangible culture. The restaurant building in the center of the alley houses a Japanese beef restaurant, making it a unique space that promotes Japanese culture, including food, to the world. The site is approximately 1,400 m2 and includes 26 wooden buildings, making this the largest renovation project in Kyoto's history, attracting attention from Kyoto City.

This project renovated a samurai residence that is over 140 years old in the castle town of Obi Castle in Nichinan City, Miyazaki Prefecture, into a tourist hub and hot spring inn for the town. Each of the five guest rooms was concept design based on the local characteristics, and was composed of the town's color "honmurasaki," "cedar" that supports the industry, "tea tree" that is planted in the hedges, "orange" that is a citrus fruit of the city, and "moss" that is important to the town's landscape. This project was carried out using a subsidy from the "Shopping District Revitalization and Tourism Consumption Creation Project," and our company participated in a wide range of projects, from hard to soft aspects, such as producing cards and maps to encourage people to travel around the area and local shops as a tourist hub, developing cooking experiences, and installing new lanterns as street lights starting from Honjuku. It has been reborn as a central presence in future urban development.

Just as the Nagasaki Kaido was once a bridge that spread the culture and technology that had been introduced to Nagasaki to the rest of the country, the Nishi-Kyushu Shinkansen Kamome has become a new bridge, and the Nagasaki Kaido Kamome Market is spreading the charm of Nagasaki to the rest of the country. The facility development concept is "Nagasaki First." We aim to spread the "Nagasaki-ness" of the city, "connect Nagasaki to the prefecture, the outside world, and the world," "make Nagasaki lively," and "make people want to stop by every day." [Social issues/customer issues/requests] As the gateway to the newly reborn land of Nagasaki, we were asked to create a space that would generate new interactions and be full of bustle. [Solution] concept design concept was "Nagasaki, a city of rich waterside culture and history," and we aimed to express the port that connects to overseas. The facade concept design uses blue and white wave-shaped tiles to express the waterside of Nagasaki Port and the light sparkling between the waves. The interior concept design embodies the city of Nagasaki by creating a space that is easy to move around in, and the layout of the large outer perimeter traffic flow and the small paths that run inwards allows customers to encounter a large number of shops that condense the city of Nagasaki, creating a space that is "somewhat nostalgic yet new" and achieves harmony between the city and its people. [Customer feedback] Due to budgetary and other constraints, there were some parts of the proposed concept design that could not be adopted, but alternative ideas were flexibly suggested and adopted, and we feel that we were able to create an attractive space within the budget. <Our project members> [Sales and project management] Koga Tadahiko [design, layout] Koshizen Hiroaki, Hirayama Yoshitaka, Hada Hideaki, Yamana Mizuki

The Kumamoto Earthquake in April 2016 also damaged the castle tower of Kumamoto Castle. In response to people's longing for the symbolic castle tower to return to its original form, the city of Kumamoto set a policy of early restoration of the tower. The building was completed in March 2021 with the latest earthquake-resistant technology. It carries on the wishes of the people who repaired the castle after repeated disasters over the 400 years since its construction, and contains messages from the people of Kumamoto living in the present for the next 100 to 400 years. displays organized the theme from the basement to the top floor in chronological order to create a corresponding space concept design, and created an easy-to-understand and impressive space using models, images, and wall concept design. It focuses on the castle tower, not the castle as a whole, and conveys the history of the castle construction, its architectural design, its defensive function, the castle and town development, and the thoughts and history of the people who restored the castle after every disaster. [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] ・ Disseminate the historical, architectural and spiritual significance of the keep, which is a symbol of recovery from the Kumamoto Earthquake. In addition, it should be reported that Kumamoto Castle, which has historically suffered from numerous natural disasters, was revived by the recent earthquake. ・ Focus not on the whole of Kumamoto Castle, but on the "Kumamoto Castle keep," and try to share roles, collaborate and complement displays contents of the surrounding facilities. ・ Since there are many restrictions on the preservation environment in the castle tower, basically displays of actual materials should not be done, and the history displays of the keep of Kumamoto Castle after the Seinan War should be added, which was not done before. ・ From the perspective of Universal concept design, we will introduce touch displays and multilingual voice guides so that a wide range of people can enjoy displays. I received the above request. [Solution] With the castle tower as the main character, we organized the story along the timeline from the castle's construction to the present, and set a theme for each time period on each floor. The story is arranged so that you can follow the period from the lower floor to the upper floor. The first floor is the period of Kiyomasa Kato, who built the castle, the Hosokawa period, who became the lord of the domain after that, the modern period, which experienced a complete fire and reconstruction, and the present day, when the Kumamoto earthquake and recovery efforts were made.In addition to the building of the castle tower, we focused on the strong will of the people who repaired it every time after repeated disasters since the Edo period to convey the "I want to restore Kumamoto Castle and pass it on to future generations." Furthermore, to cater to a wide range of visitors, multilingual audio guides and palpable models of the keep were planned and realized. [Customer Comments] displays has been well received by visitors for its easy-to-understand and engaging methods, including explanations using models and projection mapping, and multilingual audio guides using the title sign app. < our company Project Members > 【 Development 】 Masashiro Yokoyama 【 Sales/Project Management 】 Masashiro Yokoyama, Haruka Amano, Annin Sawada 【 design, layout 】 Mitsuyo Ashida, Yuichiro Tsutsumi, Toshie Makigara, Nanako Wajun, Yoichi Honda, Naoya Fujiwara 【 Shape 】 Nobuyuki Endo 【 Production/construction 】 Takashi Ikegaya, Yoshikazu Kimura

"OMO5 Kyoto Sanjo" has opened on Kyoto Sanjo Street, where Kyoto is packed with fun things to see, buy, and eat. As a mechanism to fully enjoy "Kyoto Sanjo", there is a townhouse tower that conveys the history of Takasegawa and information on shops, a town walking map that allows you to enjoy two different courses along the Takasegawa and Sanjo retro town, and a walking map around Sanjo. In the lobby, we have set up content that leads to walking around Sanjo, such as an artwork with the letter "San" lined up with old maps from three different eras, and an art panel frottage of Sanjo no Michi. In addition, in the renovation of the guest room, we have created a small rise where suitcases can be stored, and have devised ways to use the space widely by consolidating the bed and sofa areas.

The remains of the approximately 1.2 km runway in Uzurano-cho, Kasai City, were from an airfield built during the war, and many other war ruins are scattered around the area, remaining to this day. Kasai City's regional revitalization center facility, "Sora Kasai," serves as an exchange hub for touring these ruins, and the "Uzurano Museum" within it was built as the center of a field museum that conveys the historical facts of the war. The basic plan for the facility was awarded to a joint venture of the three companies, Ooba Co., Ltd., and Iruka Design Group Co., Ltd., who were involved in the design, and our company was mainly in charge of the museum displays. After that, we were independently awarded the order to create displays, and it took about six years from planning to completion. Towards completion, after going through a review committee, we worked with many people, including Kasai City, local war history researchers who had been conducting research for many years, preservation societies, supervisory teachers, and a full-scale airplane model production company, to create the facility. This museum, built on the runway, introduces the short but rich history of Uzurano Airfield, with two full-scale airplane models that are deeply connected to the area as displays. We aimed to create a museum unique to Uzurano, taking advantage of the story and local characteristics of the area. The mission of this museum is to weave the memories of this area, leave them in a tangible form, and pass them on, and we hope that it will become a place where people can think about peace and connect with each other.

Business Brain Ota Showa Co., Ltd. (Below, BBS) has been in business for more than 50 years and provides consulting, system construction and operation, and business process outsourcing. our company moved to Head Office to reduce office space to accommodate new ways of working and to realize a carbon-neutral society, and was in charge of the entrance and conference room areas in design, layout and construction. The layout plan is structured around two key words: history, which has supported client management accounting, and the near future, which supports innovation and digital innovation. It also conveys a sense of gravity as a consulting company originating in Japan and a desire to become a 100 year company. In order to express the "history" and "near future" characteristic of BBS, the "history" was expressed with wooden ribs of different sizes, and the base material of the whole space was used. In contrast to the wooden ribs, the "future" is represented by a central light box in the center of the floor, and the same delicate lines of original glass film and indirect lighting are used. < our company Project Member > [Sales/Project Management] Keiji Kawashima [Planning/Design/Direction] Hisako Kashiwase [Planning/concept design] Sayaka Eto [Production Management] Yusuke Yamazaki

This is a renovation plan for the Toyobo Building, located along the Dojima River in Osaka, an area filled with charming historical buildings and abundant nature. The Dojima River is a river with an attractive landscape that represents Osaka, known as the "City of Water," so we aimed to create a place where people can work energetically while enjoying the comfort of this location. The plaza is designed as if the deck along the river extends to the building, and a swaying willow tree is placed as the symbolic tree, allowing people to visually feel the river breeze. The facade incorporates concept design inspired by the grandeur of the Dojima River and the density of its waves. The building's exterior is wrapped in a soft wave design, which is intended to harmonize with the building and become a new symbol of the city. The lobby lounge is designed to coordinate with the facade, giving continuity between the inside and outside, and by adopting sofas of various shapes and original acoustics, it creates a comfortable atmosphere. In addition, visual art that visualizes the outside environment such as temperature and wind is applied to the central pillar, allowing people to feel the comfort of the river breeze even indoors. Each floor is decorated with photographs of the Dojima River showing its various faces, while the restrooms feature original art that delicately depicts waves. The different color palettes on each floor will surprise visitors.

This Creative Museum opened as the successor to RiSuPia, which opened in 2006 within the Panasonic Center Tokyo. Based on STEAM education, it is a space for exploratory learning on themes such as the SDGs. It fosters children's intellectual curiosity and inspiration, providing an environment where they can both learn and experience making things and experiences. The space was designed around five themes to unleash curiosity and motivation for creativity: "It's okay to get dirty," "It feels like you can make it yourself," "It can be rearranged," "It feels like you're outside the box," and "It concept design like a collaborative session." Furthermore, from an SDG perspective, the existing environment was cleverly reused and updated, incorporating concept design motifs. The spatial concept design also expresses the project team's desire to build on the history of the predecessor museum and to create new history. <Our project members> [Sales and project management] Yamazaki Kei [Direction] Yamaguchi Akane [design, layout] Koga Sayaka, Tani Seiho, Sasai Ayumu, Nakade Mikiyuki [Production and construction] Kumazawa Yuta, Asakura Yumi ~Related links~ [Release] ・ NOMURA Co.,Ltd., Ltd.'s social good activities: The case of AkeruE Creating a space that fosters children's intellectual curiosity and inspiration for a better recycling society of the future [nomlog] ・How AkeruE came about.

Launched in 2019, "Marunouchi Street Park" is a social experiment project designed to explore the future of Marunouchi Nakadori Street and how it can be utilized. Based on the spatial concept of "Connecting Summer Streets," the project focused on Marunouchi's distinctive culture, community, and people. Each of the three approximately 300-meter blocks was designed with a unique theme, reflecting the city's unique connections to culture, the community, and people. Block 1, located in front of the Maru Building, was themed "Sports & Relax," creating a wellness street where people can exercise, relax, and refresh themselves, featuring a ping-pong counter and a deck with balance balls. Block 2, themed "Enjoy Eating Out," offers the enjoyment of dining in a parklet surrounded by fairwood while enjoying outdoor live painting by artists based on the SDGs and street piano. Block 3, themed "PARKcation," featured a grass-covered workspace and bicycle counter, reminiscent of swaying grassy hills, and a summer beach resort scene using Okinawan coral sand, all of which were well-received. In terms of safety and health, we implemented special infection control measures, including measures against strong winds from typhoons and building winds, and spraying the entire facility with an antiviral coating. (Event period: August 2-September 12, 2021) Regarding our efforts with fair wood: Cedar and larch Nishikawa lumber thinned in Hanno City, Saitama Prefecture, are used for counters and other fixtures. The design took advantage of the distinctive grain and color of the cedar heartwood, known as "black heart," and structural plywood. After the event, some of the wood used will be reused, and when its usefulness is complete, it will be returned to nature, where it will be recycled for seedlings, reforestation, and forestry. <Our project members> [Project Director] Suzuki Echiyo [Sales Promotion] Ishiyama Shigeyuki, Yamamoto Hitomi [design, layout] Matsubara Miwa, Kaizawa Ayuko, Sudo Ryo, Sakuma Tonoeki [Planning] CIC: Saito Yusuke [Operations Management] CIC: Ando Kaoru [Production] Marumori Yukio, Yamaguchi Yuta, Yoshida Takuto ~Related Links~ [Announcement] ・"Marunouchi Street Park Illumination Tour!" sponsored NOMURA Co.,Ltd.

HIRODEN etto, a tourist and commercial facility operated by the Hiroshima Dentetsu Group, opened in April of the same year on a site adjacent to the Miyajimaguchi Passenger Terminal, which began service in February 2020 as part of the Itsukushima Port Miyajimaguchi Area Port Improvement Project promoted by Hiroshima Prefecture. Under the concept of "DISCOVER MIYAJIMAGUCHI," it consists of 16 stores, mainly operated by companies that have Head Office in the prefecture. The facility is designed to provide both everyday (local) and extraordinary (sightseeing) pleasures with Hiroshima's unique flavor, and to offer a "fun, delicious, and new Hiroshima" experience to tourists as well as to the local community, thereby creating new attractions in Hiroshima. The new urban planning road was proposed as a measure to alleviate the chronic traffic congestion on National Route 2, which is the main route of daily life for local residents. In conjunction with this plan, it was decided to redevelop the aging passenger terminal by expanding the reclaimed land, and relocate the tourist product facility directly operated by the Hiroshima Electric Railway Group and the Hiroden Miyajima-guchi Station building/track. We were asked to create a scenario for medium- to long-term phased development and to make a proposal on the nature of the new facilities to be built by the Hiroshima Electric Railway Group on the land adjacent to the passenger terminal, which would be a suitable prologue and epilogue to the Miyajima Pilgrimage. We thought it was important to develop a development strategy from a regional branding perspective to give Miyajima-guchi, which is a transit point to Miyajima, "the power of the place". We also wanted to create a place and space that would add a new identity to Miyajimaguchi, which has no colors, through a naming and VI plan (*). The project took both a soft and hard approach to the creation of a place and space that would add color to the first phase of the Miyajima-guchi Town Opening. This approach has created new employment opportunities and contributed to the economic cycle in Miyajima-guchi by providing a new place for business, especially for local businesses in the prefecture. In addition, as a model case of regional development through private-sector involvement in a government-led redevelopment project, the project embodied the Hiroshima Electric Railway Group's management vision of "connecting people with people to create an attractive future for the region," and created a sense of anticipation for later development. (*)VI: Visual Identity. It refers to the design of a logo or symbol mark. We were able to create a facility that meets our concept thanks to the tremendous cooperation we received from both the software and hardware aspects, from the conceptualization stage to the specific facility planning. We look forward to its growth as a facility suitable for the prologue and epilogue of a pilgrimage to Miyajima. ＜Sales and project management] Ichiro Morimoto [Consulting, planning, and soft direction] Mayo Amma [Leasing] Takaaki Hiraki, Eri Morita [design, layout] Kazumi Doi, Yukari Ozaki [Production: construction] Katsunori Sugino [Preliminary internal supervision: furniture and fixture manufacturing] Toshimichi Suzuki [Branding] Yuri Watamoto [Opening Promotion/PR] Daisuke Karube, Hikaru Oura -Related Links- [Announcement] ・Awarded the Silver Prize and other awards at "The 54th Japan Sign concept design Awards

This is a concept shop of "Okomeburan" by Shinmei Group, one of the largest long-established rice wholesalers in Japan. Okomeburan is a rice bran specialty store brand with the vision of "organizing your daily life." This store aims to be a new urban store consisting of three spaces: "FACTORY SHOP," "EAT IN CAFÉ," and "KITCHEN LAB." All of Okomeburan's products are made with the utmost care from the manufacturing process to the transportation process. In order to maximize the appeal of the products, we devised a "FACTORY SHOP" that adds displays function to the conventional sales and cafe functions. We added an displays function that clearly conveys the manufacturing process, and a function that allows you to touch and learn about brown rice, rice husks, white rice, rice bran, and the scenery of the production area for each brand. In addition, we have concept design a "KITCHEN LAB" that visualizes the kitchen and office, and will hold workshops, as well as a space that will convey the product development process that you cannot usually see. Our company has been involved in Okome Buran since its first store (Lucua Osaka), which opened in February 2021, and in addition to designing and construction the stores, we have been providing general support, including rebranding to set the brand name and vision, and supervising logo and packaging concept design, as well as product and cafe menu development.
