Akiu Grand Hotel hot spring facility renovation work

Akiu Grand Hotel hot spring facility renovation work

[Project Description] This is a hot spring facility renewal project for the main building of Akiu Grand Hotel in the Akiu Onsen district of Sendai city. Taking full advantage of the excellent location along the Rairaikyo Gorge, we aimed to create a hot spring facility that combines the charm of Akiu Grand Hotel with a modern impression, while still allowing the sense of unity with Akiu's four seasons and the Rairaikyo Gorge. [Customer Issues/Requests] There is a promenade for tourists between Rairaikyo Gorge and the hotel that stands along the valley, so we needed to find a way to make it invisible from both the hot spring facility and the promenade. We also took care to ensure that the facility can be used safely by three generations, such as by reducing the difference in height between the steps leading up to the baths. The design theme for the men's bath is "Bonten no Yu - A bath of forgetfulness in a Zen-like tranquility where you can concept design the four seasons of Akiu and enjoy a sense of oneness with Rairaikyo Gorge," while the women's bath is "Aihime no Yu - A tranquil modern resort in sympathy with the nature of Rairaikyo Gorge, a bath of beautiful skin where you can truly relax in an extraordinary space." [Solution] When you open the sliding door to the hot spring, guests are greeted by a tranquil atmosphere of hot water gushing forth from a huge natural stone carved like a hand-washing basin, with the natural scenery of Rairaikyo Gorge in the background, like a painting, and in order to further enhance the sense of oneness with nature by reflecting the scenery of the four seasons of Rairaikyo Gorge in the open-air bath, we have created an infinity design so that the edge of the bath is not visible. Additionally, the dividing wall between the men's and women's open-air baths makes use of the huge stones that have been installed there since ancient times, the floor is made of Towada stone with a pale blue-green color that gives a feeling of cleanliness, and the ceiling is made of wood-grain panels that give a modern impression, creating a stylish and high-quality atmosphere. A glass sash that can be opened wide to the left and right is placed in the center of the indoor bath, connecting the inside and outside during good seasons and creating a sense of spaciousness. <Our project members> [Development] Nishibori Masayoshi, Oyama Isao, Sato Mitsuhiro [Sales] Uesugi Hiroyuki [Creative direction] Matsubara Miwa [design, layout] Matsubara Miwa, Takahashi Ryoji, Honda Takeshi [Production and construction] Fukuda Manabu, Takase Masaaki, Aizawa Ken [Architectural supervision] Ueno Hiroji

Seagull Terrace Sanriku Confectionery Saito Sohonten

Seagull Terrace Sanriku Confectionery Saito Sohonten

[Project Summary] The main store of Saito Confectionery was damaged in the Great East Japan Earthquake. After that, the Sanriku Kasho Saito Main Store was opened in the downtown area of Ofunato, the base for reconstruction, as a flagship store with a confectionery workshop, Kamome Terrace, with even more power. With the aim of realizing President Saito's idea that "We want to propose a new type of veranda that values the relaxing feeling of being on a veranda as a place to entertain customers with sweets.", our company was in charge of everything from the basic concept to construction. We helped create a consistent flagship store, from architectural concept design to interiors, signage, and video, as well as creating a logo mark and VI concept design for shoppers and business cards. [Customer's Issues] ?@We want to make the store not just a store, but a base for local interaction and tourism. We want to create a mechanism for this. ?AWe want to appeal to the wide range of products through branding that does not rely solely on our main product, Kamome no Tamago. How do we zone the four brands operated by Saito Confectionery (Bread Workshop COCOA, Western Confectionery Le Pommier, Japanese Confectionery Sanriku Kasho Saito, Nostalgic Taste Saito Mochiya) in an easy-to-understand and unified way? We want to set up a workshop for sweets (Hikari no Asa) that will be released at the same time as the B opening. We want to consider how to present the manufacturing process, safety, and security, paying attention to the specifications and finishing to ensure hygiene. [Solution] We set up a cafe space that resembles a veranda where customers can gather, centered around a kids' space that will be a large symbolic feature that evokes the image of "Kamome no Tamago" that looks good on social media. In addition, we set up a multi-purpose kitchen space where original Kamome no Tamago [DECO Kamome no Tamago] can be made in a visible area from the store, as a highlight to attract customers. All spaces are separated by glass, so customers can watch the making of the products next to the ones being sold, and we made various efforts to create a space that appeals to safety and security. <Our project members> [Sales and project management] Hiroyuki Uesugi [General direction] Hiroyuki Iizumi [design, layout] Kiwamu Okamoto, Takashi Morifuji, Toru Fukiura [Sign and video direction] Mayo Tenma [Production and construction] Manabu Fukuda, Masaya Sawaguchi
