Works#Renewal/Renovation

"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.

Mitsukoshi Ebisu, which had been operating in the commercial building of Ebisu Garden Place, has closed and been reborn under the new name "Center Plaza". Ahead of the grand opening in the fall of 2022, "Foodie's Garden" has been set up on the B2 floor, and the flagship store "Central Square Ebisu Garden Place Store" has opened in one corner of it. We supported the opening of "Foodie's Garden" from leasing to store concept design, interiors construction, and the production of product display fixtures. [Social Issues / Customer Issues / Requests] Life Corporation Co., Ltd. requested that they create a more attractive store than ever before, incorporating the essence unique to Ebisu, where the store is located, while following the Central Square brand, in preparation for the opening of their flagship store, Central Square. [Solution] concept design of the store facade incorporates "brick walls" inspired by Ebisu's historical motifs, beer factories and train stations, and makes use of materials reminiscent of Ebisu's history to create a dignified facade concept design befitting a flagship store. concept design of the store makes use of the graphics and sign concept design format used at Central Square, following the image of Central Square and creating a store unique to Ebisu that blends in with Central Square's VI (※). (※)VI: Abbreviation for Visual Identity. Refers to the design of the logo mark or symbol mark. <Our project members> [Development and leasing] Kawai Masakazu [Sales and project management] Aiba Kensuke [design, layout] Matsumoto Mari, Hiruta Ayako, Okada Ayumi, Sato Aya, Kaizawa Ayuko [Sign and graphics] Hiruta Ayako, Ito Tomomi [Production and construction] Kurosawa Koji, Ohara Yuka, Yamakawa Yuichi / Nomura Arcs: Okazaki Yudai

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.

The Fukushima City Creative Business Salon Development Project was a project that was commissioned by our Tokyo Head Office and the design was taken over by our Tohoku Branch, with a competition held in July 2021 as an open proposal. The project aims to renovate the permanent displays room of the Fukushima City Industrial Exchange Plaza on the second floor of the complex facility Corasse Fukushima at the west exit of Fukushima Station, close to JR Fukushima Station, and to develop a co-working space and shared offices as a new business exchange hub, and to renovate it into a facility that can be used comfortably by businessmen, freelancers, university students, etc. The floor area is approximately 755 square meters. Photography is particularly popular in Fukushima, and a gallery has been set up on the wall of the co-working space to display the rich local nature and seasonal scenery and seasonal almanac taken by citizen photographers, as well as culture and art that displays the rich sensibilities of Fukushima people. concept design concept of this salon is the "Shikisai Gallery," which combines the seasonal almanac of Fukushima with the rich color sense of Fukushima people, and we have created a gallery that can be viewed in a more relaxed manner, as a gallery created together with Fukushima citizens. [Social Issues / Customer Issues / Requests] While a spacious layout was required in the post-COVID era, the zoning method and number of seats were also required to take profits into consideration. The floors, walls, and ceilings of the shared office, business exchange space, coworking space, and meeting room were required to have a taste for each environment, and the layout and furniture selection was required to suit the convenience of each user, such as businessmen, freelancers, and university students, as a facility that can be used comfortably by a variety of users such as businessmen, freelancers, and university students. [Solution] As a creative place to create new businesses, the large facility area was utilized to develop the entire space into two zones with two different images. The business exchange space was designed as a zone with an active, bright, natural, and comfortable cafe image, with the walls and floors of the corporate PR displays based on white, creating an environment where you can feel the warmth of wood, and was composed of easily movable furniture for various purposes such as seminars and networking events. The coworking space was designed as a calm lounge zone based on gray, with a sharp environment with dark brown and dark wood on the niche walls, and the furniture was configured to suit the various conveniences of each individual, such as sofas and big tables for relaxing and counter seats where you can concentrate alone. In addition, we enhanced the functions of the corporate PR displays space as a way to build connections with the local area and form a community, and added the "Shikisai Gallery" displays, which we will be creating together with Fukushima citizens, with the aim of creating new connections between the people who use the facility and the city. <Our project members> [Development] Akihiko Nishimura [Sales and project management] Keisuke Yoshida [design, layout] Takayuki Kobayashi, Kenichi Suzuki, Makio Miura [Design management] Kazunobu Nakamura [Production and construction] Johei Saito

We were in charge of planning, design, layout and construction of the employee cafeteria "Yao Daiichi Shokudo Isshoku" that opened at the Yao Works of Sharp Corporation (hereinafter referred to as "Sharp") on November 1, 2021. In proposing the plan, we were conscious of not just creating a stylish space, but of "proposals that only Nomura can make," and proposed a cafeteria as an inner branding space where customers can discover the "SHARP-ness" across organizational boundaries and generations, as well as an outer branding space that can be experienced by business partners and affiliated companies who visit the company. We created three zones, lunch, work and salon, and devised a space that can be used not only as an employee cafeteria, but also as a place to relax, hold meetings with internal and external guests, and where people can connect and communicate. The single red line (Sharp Red) that runs through the cafeteria represents Sharp's history and future. For this project, we came up with concept design that would retain the characteristics of the Yao Works, which has a history of about 65 years as a production base for white goods, while also ensuring hygiene. In addition, the mezzanine floor, which was previously used for the production line, was used as an displays space for past products that symbolize SHARP, reducing waste and removal costs, an initiative that takes the SDGs into consideration. [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] As communication between divisions was weak, the customer requested that the space be made more active in encouraging internal connections. [Solution] We proposed that the space be used not just as a place to eat, but as a place to work and relax, and also proposed displays past products as a place to encourage communication between employees and experience and discover Sharp's history. <Our project members> [Sales/Project Management] Takahashi Yui [design, layout] Umedani Shota, Yamato Suzuha, Nakamura Yusuke, Miura Ayaka [Production Management] Mukaiyama Yoshitsugu ~Related Links~ [Announcements] ・ NOMURA 's social good activities: Case study of Yao Daiichi Shokudo Isshoku at Sharp's Yao facility

This creative museum opened in the Panasonic Center Tokyo as a successor to RiSuPia, which opened in 2006. It is a place where inquiry learning on themes such as SDGs is practiced based on STEAM education. As a place to cultivate children's intellectual curiosity and inspiration, it provides an environment where they can experience both learning and making things and events. The space was designed based on five themes to freely release curiosity and motivation for creativity: "Feeling that it's okay to get dirty," "Feeling that you can make it yourself," "Feeling that you can rearrange it," "Feeling that you're not confined to a framework," and "Feeling that you can concept design a session together." Furthermore, from the perspective of SDGs, the existing environment was effectively reused and updated while incorporating it as a concept design motif. The project team's desire to build on the history of the predecessor museum and to add new history to it is also expressed in the spatial concept design. <Our project members> [Sales/Project Management] Yamazaki Kei [Direction] Yamaguchi Akane [design, layout] Koga Sayaka, Tani Seiho, Sasai Ayumu, Nakade Mikiyuki [Production/ construction] Kumazawa Yuta, Asakura Yumi ~Related links~ [Release] ・ NOMURA 's social good activities: The case of AkeruE Creating a space that fosters children's intellectual curiosity and inspiration for a better recycling society in the future [nomlog] ・Until AkeruE was created.

This project is the culmination project of "With an exclusive area of more than 100m2 in the heart of Tokyo, a brand that focuses on location and asset value and offers essential lifestyle through renovation."= "R 100 TOKYO" developed by Rivita. our company provided construction support for the renovation of Opas Arisugawa, a residence representing Tokyo with an exclusive area of approximately 198m2, which was created by OEO Studio, a Danish concept design company, in concept design. Based on the concepts of "CROSS-CULTURAL" and "COMPELLING MINIMALISM," this concept design living space incorporates new proposals based on the sensibilities common to Scandinavia and Japan. By using a lot of natural materials, such as solid wood, which develops its flavor the more you use it, the longer you live in it, the more blessings it will bring to your life. This new housing is a realization of the "value housing 100 years into the future" that "R 100 TOKYO" aims for. [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] In the recent high-end residential market in central Tokyo, there is a growing demand for homes with unique values that are not limited to conventional values such as real estate prices and housing functions. Among the projects of Ribita, which aim to "We will continue to create the next common sense in order to restore the value of Japanese housing and real estate and leave it for the future," this project, which emphasizes natural materials and traditional construction methods, was an issue in terms of whether it can be established as a housing performance. [Solution] We had a number of meetings to promote the use of natural materials and handicrafts in the living space, taking into account housing performance, such as a wide variety of stone, plasterer, solid wood, han-zukuri, and ceramic tile. The solid wood kitchens of Garde Hvalsøe (read: Garde Vels), a Danish kitchen workshop that was the first in Japan to be installed in an ordinary house, have a great significance in the living space. Since there is no solid wood kitchen to replace them, our company's Global Division imported them from Denmark. [Customer's Voice] Thanks to your high level of technical and managerial skills, such as proposing solutions for difficult construction, precision of detail, and adherence to the construction schedule, we were able to not only go ahead with the overall schedule, but also create a wonderful space that understood the designer's intention. < our company Project Members > [Project Management] Masahiro Harada [Product Direction] Mikiya Fujitaka [Global Supply] Daiyuki Nakagome

This project reopened the south side zone on the first floor of the main building of S-PAL Koriyama, adjacent to JR Koriyama Station. Numerous shops have been opened to increase the mobility of daily use, meet the diverse needs of customers, and coordinate lifestyles. The proposed environmental design concept is [RAMBLING STATION TOWN]. The theme is "an urban shopping center where people gather at the station and spend a comfortable time, just like enjoying a stroll around town," and the whole area is wrapped in a fashionable and gentle atmosphere. Specifically, the facility facade is equipped with a "rhythm line border" with indirect light, which is reminiscent of Koriyama City, Fukushima Prefecture, a "music city" with a lot of musical activity. It is deployed to envelop the station concourse, creating a new patio for people walking around the city and S-PAL Koriyama. In addition, a folded ceiling made of wood and white rhythm lines with a "music score" concept design element is placed in conjunction with the Nakajima tenant environment. The rhythmic guidance draws people to the back of the facility. As an urban shopping center, S-PAL Koriyama aims to be a place that is supported by customers of all ages. [Social issues / Customer issues / Requests] - As the project was being promoted at the same time as the COVID-19 pandemic in the fall of 2020, the way in which commercial activities were conducted was questioned. - Due to the earthquake in the spring of 2021, a safe design was strongly required. - Upcycling of the environment was required to use the existing lease lines without changing the main flow of traffic. [Solution] Although the circulation lines are existing, the floor material has been renewed to a cobblestone style, and wooden materials that connect the entire facility have been incorporated in some areas to create a street where people can enjoy strolling around the city. In the atrium environment that serves as the axis of vertical circulation in the facility, a "rhythmic line gate" reminiscent of the "music city" has been added to the existing design, and the new center court has been renovated as a concept design symbol for the entire facility, providing visitors with a natural and symbolic park environment that combines "things x events x time". We have created a new stage for people walking around the city and S-PAL Koriyama. <Our project members> [Planners] Hiroko Okazaki, Yuri Watamoto [Sales and project management] Hiroyuki Uesugi [design, layout] Kenichi Suzuki, Makio Miura [Production and construction] Johei Saito

A proposal competition was held for the complete renewal of SEPPAL SENDAI II in June 2020, 13 years after its opening in 2008, and we were selected. The environmental design concept we proposed for the renewal is [MORI TERRACE], to refine Tohoku's highest level of sensitivity and to transform it into a new select store zone that offers proposals that are one step ahead of customers' lifestyles. Under the themes of "cozier than anywhere else" and "inspiration for everyday life," the entire space was composed based on organic lines and earth colors, enveloping the entire area in a mode and gentle atmosphere. Specifically, "big awnings and greenery" were deployed in the exterior plaza to create a new nexus between the facility and the people on the street. In addition, a light court on the ceiling, which is an element of "sunlight filtering through the trees" (concept design), is placed inside the facility in conjunction with the corridor environment, drawing people to the back of the facility through the sunlight. The light court is linked to the passageway environment, leading people to the back of the facility through the trees. The building aims to be a place where customers of all ages with next-generation values can feel "relaxation and a sense of fun" with a sophisticated sensitivity. The project started in August 2020, when the Corona Disaster was to be promoted, and it was a development project that was questioned as to how to attract customers to commercial facilities. While negotiations with tenants were difficult, 90% of the main traffic lines were to be used by existing lines, and an upcycling of the environment was required. In addition to attracting customers, the project was also required to create a "new nexus between people on the street and S-PAR Sendai," and to attract and spread people further into the facility. SOLUTION: We installed "the most comfortable big awning and greenery" and "LED vision that provides inspiration for daily life" in the external plaza as a nodal point for people on the street, and as an information transmission plaza for this facility located at the northernmost point of S-PAR Sendai, we are providing information about events and tenants to the people on the street. It is a plaza that transmits information about events and tenants to people on the street. The LED Vision is a plaza that transmits information about events and tenants to the people of the city, as a plaza that transmits information about the facility at the northernmost point of the facility. The goal was to create a place where people could "feel, touch, and communicate" from a passing facility. ＜Our project members＞ [Sales and project management] Hiroyuki Uesugi [Planning] Chihiro Watakai, Mayu Nakamura [design, layout] Kenichi Suzuki [Structural design] Taizo Komatsu [Production, construction] Tatsuo Sato

The Morinaga Angel Museum MORIUM was created as part of the Morinaga & Co. 120th anniversary project. We were responsible for the total production, including spatial concept design, displays planning and production, and the production of various content, including theater videos.

This project was carried out based on the machine tools collected and used by Sankyo Seisakusho, with the goal of cultural preservation and educational use, while leaving them as a valuable asset for the next generation. It will be the best machine tool displays space in Japan, with a number of historical machine tools that embody modern industrial history. You can deepen your understanding of the changes and achievements of machine tools, which are the forerunners of the era and bring about industrial transformation, by system and era, and you can actually touch the machines and mechanisms, making new discoveries and learning. In addition, lighting is used to symbolize the machine tools, which are the core of displays. We participated from the research stage, and under the supervision of the supervisor, we were in charge of space concept design, lighting concept design, graphic concept design, and production and construction. [Customer feedback] The graphic concept design, color scheme, and especially the lighting were well balanced, creating an antique atmosphere. <Our project members> [Sales] Takanori Tsujii [Research] Shuta Fukahori, Takanori Tsujii [design, layout] Shuta Fukahori [Production and construction] Kazuo Maeda, Yurina Nishizono

As a hotel that introduces "Kyoto Toji Temple" in an easy-to-understand manner that cannot be fully enjoyed in a one-time sightseeing trip, the little-known Buddha statue mandala is illustrated, and you can walk around the city freely opening and closing while comparing the old and the modern. In the lobby, we installed a map, a large table where you can copy sutras with sand, and a wall artwork of Buddha smiling with a motion sensor. In addition, the full-size pillar with a motif of a five-storied pagoda was used as a bookshelf to impart wisdom because the actual central pillar itself is a mandala.

The former Suzuki residence, a large mansion consisting of a main house and three storehouses in the Toi district of Nishiizu, has been loved as a central presence in the area since the Edo period. With the "value of spending time with ancient beauty" in mind, we renovated each building and exterior structure to create an auberge with two accommodation rooms. The main house's closed-in layout was revised to expand the space up, down, left and right to ensure modern comfort. We wanted to preserve the atmosphere of the past by taking advantage of the spatial individuality of each of the three storehouses and adding minimal concept design, so we renovated two of them into accommodation buildings with luxurious outdoor open-air baths, and one of them functions as a lounge and spa. By combining it with the surrounding accommodation facilities, we have realized an auberge that blends into the local community and is loved by everyone. [Social issues / Customer issues / Requests] Toi has long been popular as a hot spring inn town, but there is a small variety of restaurants, and there are no cafes that serve as tourist bases or tourist content that makes use of Nishiizu's food resources, so the lack of tourist spending by tourists has been a long-standing issue. The company's request was that the development of this facility should not be prioritized for profitability, but rather for it to be beneficial to the region, and that it should be accepted and loved by tourists and local residents alike. [Solution] We felt that we needed to respect the time that the buildings had accumulated on this land, find the unique character of each building, and create concept design that could transform it into an attractive feature. We reviewed the layout while taking into consideration the structural burden of the existing unsuitable buildings, and respected the unique character of each building, such as the deep trusswork of the main building, the roughly painted plastered walls of the first storehouse, which served as a lounge, the dynamic one-room space of the second storehouse, and the vertical expanse of the second storehouse with its clay walls hidden behind the wooden walls. By respecting the unique character of each building, it became the very charm of each facility. [Customer's comments] As a result of the extremely high-quality concept design and construction techniques used to renovate the former Suzuki residence, which represents the history of Toi, in a short delivery period, not only tourists who come to "LOQUAT Nishiizu" but also local residents visit the facility almost every day, and it has become a place of relaxation that provides a little richness in their daily lives. Not only the accommodation building, but also the restaurant, bakery and gelateria are busy and full to capacity every day. <Our project members> [Sales/Project Management] Shinya Hiratsuka, Nobuyuki Yagi [Planning] Saki Ninomiya [design, layout] Norio Koito, Hiroshi Inoue, Tadahiro Nakajima, Ryotaro Tezuka [Production/ construction] Jun Endo, Takayuki Inoue, Nohara Kikuchi

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

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.
