2025 World Exposition, Japan RITE Future Forest

2025 World Exposition, Japan RITE Future Forest

At the demonstration plant "RITE Future Forest" exhibited by the National Institute of Global Environmental Technology (RITE) at the 2025 Japan International Exposition (Osaka-Kansai Expo), we provided comprehensive production from planning, concept design, architecture, displays design and supervision to operational support. The facility is engaged in demonstration experiments of future technologies that are expected in the future by combining both DAC (Direct Air Capture)*1, which directly captures carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and CCS (Carbon dioxide Capture and Storage)*2, which stores carbon dioxide directly from the ground. This project aims to create a new forest in the future, by capturing carbon dioxide emitted by humans with human power. In the Guidance Building, we also worked on architecture as a demonstration experiment for new technologies, and realized the world's first future wooden construction technology, the CLT*3-fold structure hanging method, based on the concept of the forest of the future. The hang-up method is a conceptual method in which triangular CLT panels that are tightly connected to each other by hinge hardware are laid on a horizontal surface, and a specific part is lifted by a crane to deform it like origami under its own weight to form a folding plate structure. This time, by using this construction method, it was also an architectural demonstration project to create a large space with a structure with an expressive expression and to promote the spread of CLT structures that have both concept design, functionality, and construction. As a result, an architectural space that exudes a sacred atmosphere that exudes a sense of tightness has emerged, and the CLT folding structure itself made of domestic cedar has become a unique building that realizes an acoustic environment like a concert hall that resonates with displays videos and performances. After the exhibition, there are plans to relocate to the RITE headquarters in Kizugawa City, Kyoto Prefecture in order to use it as a sustainable building. Through exhibiting at the Expo and subsequent utilization, we addressed various social issues such as reducing carbon dioxide emissions, minimizing waste, and promoting the spread of CLT structures. *1 Technology to reduce CO₂ concentration in the atmosphere by removing CO₂ from the atmosphere *2 Technology to collect emitted CO₂ and store it in the ground *3 Wood-based materials made by layering and bonding the ground sheets so that the fiber directions are orthogonal after arranging them.

Kakegawa City indoor playground "mirocco"

Kakegawa City indoor playground "mirocco"

The new indoor playground "mirocco" opened in Kakegawa City, Shizuoka Prefecture in July 2025. It aims to be a place where not only children can play to their heart's content, but also families and local people can enjoy together. This facility was built by renovating the pool and hot spring facilities at the indoor facility "Tamarina" in 22nd Century Hill Park in Mansui, Kakegawa City, and renovating it into an all-weather playground. We were responsible for the entire process, from concept formulation to design, construction of interiors, play equipment, decoration, and operation, while utilizing our know-how in regional revitalization and facility business. In addition, as an independent DBO* project, we made private investments in this facility, and improved the facility's appeal by adding play equipment, built-in furniture, signs, graphics, etc. About the facility concept/space concept design The facility concept is "Let's create a bouncy everyday life." The name "mirocco" was decided by vote, with the intention of creating a facility that everyone will want to visit 365 days a year (3=mi/6=ro/5=ko). The main areas are "Guru Guru no Yama" where you can play with play equipment, "Waku Waku Base" where you can play quietly, "Hitoyasumi Lounge" where adults can relax, and "Haihai no Hara" where babies can play safely. In addition to these areas, "This Is Cafe", which has new stores in Shizuoka Prefecture, will open in Tamarina and offer a menu that is easy for customers of all ages to use. In addition, the interiors of the facility, play equipment, benches, etc. are made with local resources, and environmentally friendly materials are used in various places, such as benches made from local felled wood, a craft space where scraps and waste materials are used as craft materials, and plaster walls made from Kakegawa's "soil". *DBO: Abbreviation for Design Build Operate, a business method for developing public facilities. The public sector commissions private businesses to design, build, and operate the facility.

ESPRIT C. KEI GINZA

ESPRIT C. KEI GINZA

It opened in April 2024 as a restaurant created by Chef Kobayashi Kei of the Parisian French restaurant "Restaurant KEI" and "Toraya", a Japanese confectionery shop founded in the late Muromachi period. In Ginza, Tokyo, where tradition and newness coexist and diverse food cultures can be enjoyed, we want to create a restaurant that goes beyond French cuisine, pursues innovation in gourmet food with a free-thinking approach, without being bound by anything. We want everyone who works here, not just the chefs, to learn and research ingredients, share the essence of gourmet food with customers who visit, and make not only the food but the entire experience here satisfy the customers' hearts. "ESPRIT C. KEI GINZA" is a so-called "gourmet laboratory" that embodies Chef Kobayashi Kei's thoughts. The restaurant consists of a main dining room with live counter seats centered around the open kitchen, which is the key to creating the dishes, table seats covered with a wooden concept design, and a private kitchen with a private room inspired by a laboratory. France is said to have a culture of stone, and Japan has a culture of wood. This restaurant is a new space where French and Japanese cultures meet, blending the cultures of both countries in a harmonious blend of stone and wood. The ceiling concept design that covers the entire floor is a dynamic composition that changes from a traditional checkerboard pattern to an innovative cave-like installation, expressing tradition and innovation.
