The "Morinaga Angel Museum MORIUM" was created as part of Morinaga & Co.'s 120th anniversary celebration. Our company handled the total production, including spatial concept design, displays design and production, and the creation of various content such as theater videos.

This project was implemented based on machine tools collected and utilized by Sankyo Seisakusho Co., Ltd., with the aim of cultural preservation and educational use, and to leave them as a valuable asset for future generations. It will be Japan's premier displays space for machine tools, bringing together numerous historical machine tools that embody the history of modern industry. Visitors can deepen their understanding of the transformations and achievements of machine tools, which were the leading runners of their time that brought about industrial change, organized by system and era, and can actually touch the machines and mechanisms to make new discoveries and learn. In addition, the lighting symbolically enhances the machine tools, which are the heart of displays. Our company participated from the research stage and, under the supervision of the director, was in charge of space concept design, lighting design, graphic concept design concept design and production construction. [Customer's voice] The graphic concept design, color scheme, and especially the balance of the lighting were well done and created an antique atmosphere. <Our project members> [Sales] Takayuki Tsujii [Research] Shuta Fukahori, Takayuki 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 estate in the Toi district of Nishi-Izu consisting of a main house and three storehouses, has been a beloved central presence in the community since the Edo period. With the "value of experiencing antique beauty" in mind, the buildings and exterior have been renovated to create an auberge with two guest rooms. The main house's cramped layout has been revised to create a sense of spaciousness in all directions, ensuring modern comfort. The three storehouses were designed to preserve the atmosphere of the past by utilizing the unique spatial characteristics of each and adding minimal concept design elements. Two of the storehouses were renovated into guest rooms with luxurious outdoor open-air baths, and one was converted into a lounge and spa. The result is an auberge that blends seamlessly with the surrounding accommodations and is loved by the community. [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] While Toi has long been a popular hot spring inn town, the lack of variety in restaurants, cafes that serve as tourist hubs, and tourist content that utilizes the food resources of Nishi-Izu has resulted in low tourist spending, which has been a long-standing issue. The client's request for this facility development was not to prioritize business profitability, but rather to create a facility that would benefit the community and be accepted and loved by both tourists and local residents. [Solution] Our company respected the passage of time the buildings had accumulated on this land, and we believed that it was necessary to find the unique character of each building and transform it into an attractive concept design. We revised the floor plan while considering the structural burden of the existing non-conforming buildings, and by respecting the character of each building, we were able to create the charm of each facility itself. For example, the main house has a deep roof structure, the first storehouse, which has been converted into a lounge, has roughly painted plaster walls, the second storehouse, which is a lodging building, has a dynamic one-room space, and the third storehouse has a two-story vertical expansion and earthen walls hidden behind the wooden walls. [Client's Voice] Despite the short deadline, the former Suzuki residence, which represents the history of Toi, was restored with extremely high-quality concept design and construction techniques. As a result, not only tourists who come to "LOQUAT Nishi-Izu," but also local residents visit almost every day, and it has become a place of relaxation that provides a little bit of richness in their daily lives. Every day, not only the accommodation buildings but also the restaurants, bakeries, and gelaterias are bustling with activity, often fully booked or sold out. <Our Project Members> [Sales & Project Management] Shinya Hiratsuka, Nobuyuki Yagi [Planning] Saki Ninomiya [design, layout] Norio Koito, Hirofumi Inoue, Tadahiro Nakajima, Ryotaro Tezuka [Production & construction] Jun Endo, Takayuki Inoue, Nohara Kikuchi

This project involved converting the former Kiyomizu Elementary School building, which has a history of approximately 90 years and remains in the Kiyomizu area of Kyoto, into a hotel. While inheriting its distinctive design, it was reborn as a hotel that also possesses modern comforts. Our company was 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 recognized for its unique architectural features in its location, exterior decoration, and interiors concept design. Based on the hotel's concept of "etching memories and connecting to the future," we paid the utmost respect to the historical Western architecture and its interior space, creating concept design that revives memories while preserving and passing them on. Furthermore, we fused the architecture and interior space as new functions to express both nostalgia and newness. [Client's Challenges/Requests] It was necessary to design a hotel that would function while making use of the existing historical elementary school building. It was also necessary to have repeated discussions about what kind of hotel would be accepted by the Kyoto community. [Solution] We worked with creators on every detail, from architecture, landscape, interior, FF&E, artwork, graphics, and uniforms, to create a completely new and unique space. While preserving the corridors and staircases where elementary school children once ran around, opening the doors to the classrooms where children studied allows you to step into a completely different, contemporary world. To maximize the value of the existing details that have etched the history of the architecture and interior space, we focused on materials that do not assert themselves but instead highlight the materials themselves. The reflection of the semi-glossy materials further enhances the existing architectural design. We aimed to create a spatial composition based on "reinterpretation" that can only be experienced here, by harmoniously balancing the total concept design coordination of artwork, graphics, uniforms, and interiors and FF&E concept design. <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

NOMURA Co.,Ltd. opened a new office in March 2021 in the Daiba Garden City Building adjacent to the Head Office building (Odaiba, Tokyo) to accommodate the new normal era. NOMURA Co.,Ltd. The Group's goal is to activate communication and better creativity among employees while taking advantage of the Group's diverse work styles and values. NOMURA Co.,Ltd. The Group launched a project in 2019 to consolidate Group company locations with the aim of creating an environment in which employees can work together more closely and synergistically. Facing the changes in work styles and social issues arising from the Corona disaster, we sought to create a realistic office space for the New Normal era with the three keywords of "health," "experimentation," and "brand" to create the "way of the future work. We believed that the function of the office in the new normal era would change from a "workplace" to an "innovative space that triggers communication," where a diverse range of people from inside and outside the company can gather and actively exchange ideas and opinions in a way that only the real world can offer. To this end, the communication space "RESET SPACE_2" was designed based on the concept of a "Unique Park," a park-like space that can be used by all employees to accommodate diverse and unique work styles. The space is made of 100% fair wood. CONFERIUM is a proposal for a new meeting room area, and is an attempt to "act displays in the way we work" by daring to actively showcase unique meetings. The know-how used in the displays space is applied to the office space, for example, by darkening the common corridor to make the conference room stand out as displays. The creative office area has adopted a group address system. The creative floor is designed to allow concept design work with an awareness of the "concept design feeling" of scale and materials, which is a major advantage when conducting concept design work. By clarifying the purpose of the space, we were able to create a sophisticated space at a low cost. This project was planned, designed, construction and managed by the NOMURA Co.,Ltd. group.

「蕉雨館」は1892年東京市本郷区西片町に建てられた旧福山藩前藩主阿部伯爵邸の一部を、1971年グリーンスタンプ株式会社創業者、春日節雄（ときお）様が軽井沢に移転復元し、グリーンスタンプ軽井沢寮の記念館として使われてきました。 2020年グリーンスタンプ株式会社とケネディクス株式会社両社が利用するリトリート施設として、新しくなったアネックスと同時に「蕉雨館」のリノベーションをおこないました。 耐震改修を含む蕉雨館改修設計および設計監理、ならびに施設全体のFF&E設置工事を当社で担当しました。 【社会課題／お客様の課題／ご要望】 当初の移築からさまざまな増築改築がおこなわれ、別棟とのつながりが廊下のみの点でしかなされていなく、また構造的に負担を受け沈下が見られました。 施設全体の老朽化、蕉雨館については軽井沢の気候上、冬季の利用難しく、またもともとは畳の仕様でしたが日本人の生活様式の変化から、その利用の頻度が低下していたものの、当時の面影はできるだけ残し改修をしたいと考えられていました。 【解決策】 蕉雨館の調査により、できるだけ移築当時のシンプルな形態へ戻し、耐震診断をおこない建築基準法同等の地震力に耐えうる構造補強をしました。中庭を接してアネックスと向かい合い、施設全体としての一体感を与えました。 できる限り当時の意匠を尊重しつつ見えない部分の断熱・空調設備の設置で厳寒期以外の冬季も含めた利用期間の長期化を目指しました。床暖房を設置しフローリングへ、耐震上追加した壁はもとからある壁・建具・当時のイメージの表現をおこない、空間の上半分は当時の意匠をできる限り残しました。 ＜当社プロジェクトメンバー＞ 【営業】 辰巳 果由 【調査・デザイン・設計・設計監理】 N.A.U.1：小糸 紀夫 【制作・施工】 藤高 幹也
