As part of our efforts with local residents, we held and operated events such as "Find a Color, Make a Color" and "Paint the Whole Building," where we colored the exterior walls of the lab building with colors found in the park, creating value that can only be found here.

This is a renovation project for Morioka City Library, including seismic retrofitting. After being closed for about two and a half years, it reopened on April 2, 2024.

This is a renewal project for Tobu Skytree Line's "Asakusa Station" and Tobu Nikko Line's "Tobu Nikko Station" in line with the start of Tobu Railway's new limited express train, Spacia X. The concept of this project is "connecting," and the aim is to create a connection between the space before boarding the Spacia X and after disembarking. The concept of "connecting" also has several overlapping meanings, such as "connecting" to the journey of Nikko, "connecting the old and new station building concept design," "connecting the history and culture of the area along the line to the future," and "connecting the skills and thoughts of the creators to the users." As a station building concept design that embodies "connecting," it actively uses materials from Tochigi Prefecture and incorporates motifs from the nature, history, and culture of Nikko into concept design, aiming for "environmental conservation" and "cultural dissemination" as a new initiative of Tobu Railway. In order to communicate this initiative, we were also in charge of producing graphic posters with the theme of "connecting," which were displays in the Asakusa Station and Tobu Nikko Station premises.

The renovation concept is "Treeful." This is a coined word that means "full" with trees (tree), and conveys the message that just as a wide variety of trees gather together to create a rich, strong, and sustainable mountain, the diversity of the people living in this city creates a rich society. By incorporating a wealth of wood from Osaka Prefecture into areas of Higashiyodogawa Ward Office that are visible to many users, and with the cooperation of ward residents through workshops, a space filled with the diverse charms of wood, "Treeful," was born. *This project was implemented using the "Forest Environment Grant Tax."

We were in charge of renovating Cross Dine, an all-day dining restaurant with a popular buffet in the Hotel Metropolitan. While maintaining the main concept since its opening, "Cross over dining," an international food crossroads by specialized chefs of Japanese, Western and Chinese cuisine, we adopted a new concept design concept of "CASA VALLEY," which means a house with a large roof. The lively open kitchen has been upgraded as a "show kitchen," and the restaurant has been reborn as an open modern living and dining room with a large roof, with the kitchen at its center. The imposing pillars supporting the high ceiling give off a calm, woody warmth. The pendant lights, chandeliers and brackets hanging from the ceiling emit warm light, creating a comfortable atmosphere like a home that always welcomes you. In order to allow customers with different purposes and numbers to use the space comfortably, we have created three styles: DINING AREA, SALON STYLE AREA, and GARDEN LIVING AREA.

At the beginning of the planning, Akikusa Gakuen approached us to ask about seismic retrofitting of the gymnasium. In conjunction with the seismic retrofitting and the renewal of the gymnasium facade and interiors, they requested that the corridor connecting the school building and the gymnasium be "a bright and clean corridor, not a humid and dark one. We also wanted it to be a space that the school can leave to future generations." As a result, we decided to concept design a corridor space that expressed the identity of Akikusa Gakuen. The most important thing in this plan was to make it a "space that people will continue to love." Therefore, this time, we created the origin of concept design together with the students in a workshop, and worked on a "progressive concept design" to create attachment and pass it on. We asked the students to bring in photos that expressed "Akikusa-ness," and extracted the feelings that were put into them by verbalizing them in the form of "#〇〇," sublimated them into concept design, and decorated the corridor. We encouraged the students to digest concept design as their own and spread it to those around them, so that the "Akikusa-ness" would be passed down from generation to generation and people would continue to interact with the space with affection.
