明治記念大磯邸園は、2017年に「明治150年」関連施策の一環として設置することが閣議決定されたもので、歴史的建造物である邸宅と庭園を一体的に見せるものとして整備が進められています。2024年11月に公開となった大隈・陸奥地区では、邸宅の建築的特徴や見どころ案内、ゆかりの人物の功績や人柄を伝える展示、歴史的建築物の補修･強化を図る改修プロジェクトを紹介する映像コンテンツの企画･制作を行うと共に、家具調度品や室内装飾品類の補修も当社で手掛けました。模型を用いて、かつての建物と現存する建物の違いを分かりやすく視覚的に表現し、その屋根部分を昇降可能とすることで外観だけでなく部屋割りの違いも見て取れる展示は、来園者にも好評を博しています。

パリのフレンチレストラン「Restaurant KEI」の小林 圭シェフと、室町時代後期創業の和菓子屋「とらや」がつくるレストランとして、2024年4月にオープンしました。伝統と新しさが共存し多様な食文化が楽しめる東京・銀座で、フランス料理の域を超え、何にもとらわれず、自由な発想で、美食の革新を追求するレストランをつくりたい。料理人に限らずここで働く人誰しもが食材を学び、研究し、美食の真髄を来店されたお客さまと分かち合い、料理だけでなく、ここでの体験全てがお客さまの心を満たすものであってほしい。小林 圭シェフのそんな思いを体現した、いわば“美食の研究所”、それが「ESPRIT C. KEI GINZA」です。レストランは、料理を生み出す要であるオープンキッチンを中心としたライブ感のあるカウンター席と木のデザインで覆われたテーブル席を持つメインダイニング、そして研究所をイメージしたプライベートキッチンの個室で構成しています。フランスは石の文化、日本は木の文化といわれています。このレストランは両国の文化を織り交ぜながら、石と木が調和したフランスと日本の文化が出会う新しい空間です。フロア全体にわたって設えた天井デザインは伝統市松パターンから、洞窟のような革新的インスタレーションへと変化するダイナミックな構成で伝統と革新を表現しています。

1586年創業のフランスのクリスタルメゾン「Saint-Louis（サンルイ）」と小林 圭シェフが織りなす新しいスタイルのバーです。伝統に裏打ちされた「Saint-Louis」のクリスタルグラスで提供されるドリンクと共に、シェフが創造する料理とデセールを堪能できます。サービススタッフとシェフがつくり上げる2列構成の新しいバースタイルで、伊達冠石（だてかんむりいし）で構成した特注のカウンターは調理シーンと共に舞台のように浮かび上がります。バーの奥にはテラス席を計画し、日本庭園をベースに上り庭を配し、屋上への階段と共に立体的にデザインしています。「Saint-Louis」と「とらや」、日仏を代表する老舗ブランドのもつ伝統や歴史を空間に表現するにあたり、本物の素材にこだわりながら仕上げています。1列目カウンターの天板には2000年を超え地中に眠り化石化した木といわれる神代杉、2列目カウンターには同じく長い年月の地殻変動によって生み出された伊達冠石を用いて構成しています。フランスと日本、両国の文化が出会うことで石と木が調和した空間に、随所に散りばめられた「Saint-Louis」のクリスタルの輝きが、フランスのエスプリを添えています。

We were in charge of design, layout and construction of Mazda's manufacturer showroom in the Tokyo metropolitan area, which aims to provide a place for people to experience and interact with the brand. The "TRANS" in "MAZDA TRANS AOYAMA" means "to change, to overcome," and the meaning behind the name is "We want to be a place that will be a catalyst for positive change." The first floor is a special space where you can experience the brand, with a cafe and goods shop supervised by Itsuki Coffee, which was founded in Miyajima, Hiroshima, and the second floor is a comfortable space where art displays and events and workshops can be held.

This is a renovation project for the Omiya Center Building, located at the west exit of Omiya Station, one of Japan's leading terminal stations. After investigating the area around Omiya Station and identifying issues with the building, which was completed more than 30 years ago, we decided on the theme of "combining dignity and comfort" as the theme for the renovation concept design. In the renovation process, we placed a key focus on improving the satisfaction of existing tenants and aimed to increase the building's presence in terms of both functionality and concept design compared to the surrounding buildings. By preserving the dignity unique to the existing stone material while achieving a good balance between the comfort created by light materials, we minimized the disposal of waste materials due to demolition and created a cost-effective concept design while being conscious of sustainability by combining old and good materials.

The Miyagase Dam Water and Energy Pavilion Water Museum "Waterworks Zone" needed to be renovated after more than 20 years since its opening, and was renewed to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the museum's opening. The concept of displays is to create learning opportunities for the "tap water supply business" (introducing the role of the Waterworks Corporation) and to change people's awareness of "tap water" (re-examining water resources and learning about the global environment). By learning about the process, facilities, and work involved in how rainwater stored in the dam reaches our household faucets as tap water, which we don't usually have the opportunity to learn about, visitors can learn about the importance of tap water, which is essential to our lives, and the importance of social infrastructure. In addition, since the surrounding area, including Miyagase Dam, is a tourist destination, the main target audience is social studies field trips from nearby elementary schools and families visiting on weekends. The exhibition features a wide range of digital content, including guidance videos on a large screen, virtual content in which a drone is operated to investigate water facilities, and a simulation of the process of purifying river water. The exhibition also features highly game-like digital content that combines real-life action and computer graphics, as well as displays that allows visitors to virtually experience the work of the corporations that support the water supply business. The exhibition offers a variety of content that can be enjoyed in a short amount of time by visitors with or without a specific purpose.

This project is to revive Kinokuniya Bookstore's salon, a place of hospitality, on the top floor of the flagship Shinjuku main store building. When the building was constructed in 1964, the company's founder, Moichi Tanabe, created a salon as a social gathering place for the literary world. Time has passed since then, but this space has been lost, so in order to revive it in the present day, we were in charge of design, layout, production, construction, etc. of this new project, following the renovation of the Shinjuku main store, which took place from 2021 to 2023.

This project involved concept design, interiors renovation, and environmental features of the children's corner of Nakano City's Ekoda Library, located in a quiet residential area where children from the neighborhood gather. On the first floor, we replaced the old interiors materials with new ones and created a bookshelf unique to the children's corner, where large books and picture-story shows can be stored. We also created a magazine area for parents to enjoy, creating a space where parents and children can spend time together. In this space, where children are greeted by the library's original characters, "Shishimaru" and "Egotan," inspired by the "Ekoda Lion Dance," an intangible folk cultural property designated by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, we aimed to give children the impression that libraries are fun places. On the second floor, we installed a new counter and chairs. By using acrylic material for part of the counter, it has become a space where you can quietly read while feeling the faint warmth of the sunlight.

We exhibited "Being Furniture" at DESIGNART TOKYO 2024, Japan's largest concept design and art festival (with the theme "Reframing - The Beginning of Transformation"). "Being Furniture" is a project that reconsiders the relationship between people and objects. We create many things every day in our spatial concept design projects, but behind the scenes, we feel that there is a big issue with these things being discarded or no longer used while still fully usable. When we think about a situation in which an object is used for a long time and with great care, it is often the case that a relationship is formed that gives rise to an attachment to the object. In such cases, we noticed that we have gone from a sense of "owning and using" to a sense of "being with" the object and caring about it. Therefore, we thought that noticing this change in sensation might be one way to solve the problem. The furniture presented in the project is not particularly sturdy or functional. Rather, it has a certain instability and whimsy that makes us want to care for it. If furniture changes from "being" to "being there," how will we interact with it? Through a series of experimental concept design in this project, we ask society about the transformation in value between people and objects. Our company's vision is to "open up all kinds of spatial possibilities starting from the 'creativity' of each individual," and we are working to create spaces that enrich people's hearts. As part of this, we continue to exhibit at concept design events both in Japan and overseas in order to take on the social issues we face from a creative perspective and create a cycle of communication, exchange, and innovation through our output.

This is a project for the all-day dining restaurant "MONDO Sagami Ohno" that will open on the 7th floor of Odakyu Hotel Century Sagami Ohno. The restaurant will have a spacious space of over 666 square meters and a huge wood-fired oven, which will be the symbol of the restaurant "MONDO". Based on the theme of "from the mountain to the table", the restaurant will bring out the original flavor of the ingredients through wood-fired cooking, and serve simple and innovative flavors. Guests can casually enjoy authentic Italian cuisine, including a lunch buffet featuring carefully made handmade bread and steaks baked in a wood-fired oven. The restaurant will also feature "BAR ROJY", where you can casually enjoy authentic cocktails and rare old whiskeys, and "Kogasaka Bake Sagami Ohno", where you can purchase freshly baked bread and baked goods, proposing a free, warm and unique restaurant experience to the people of the city.

Set in the 1920s America during the era of construction, this bar is based on the "speakeasy" concept, a culture at the time where people would smuggle alcohol behind the scenes, disguised as beauty salons or law offices. JANAI HOTEL is the third in the "JANAI" secret bar series, which incorporates the speakeasy system to create a place where only those who find the concept interesting can gather. Opening a painting that at first glance does not look like a door, you enter a secret bar that can only be reached by those who have cracked the password. We were in charge of design, layout, and architectural design the tenant.

This project is a phased renewal project that will take place over a period of approximately three years from 2022 to 2024. This is the third phase, and involves renovating the 46th floor "SKY VIEW" and "Entrance," transforming the building into a place that will generate new excitement and interaction.

This is a renovation project for a permanent comprehensive sales gallery that will act as a base for communicating information about the housing brand "Gracia" developed by Sotetsu Real Estate, where customers can experience the brand's worldview through actual properties and video. The Sotetsu Line, which is deeply rooted in the Yokohama area and is loved by many, is now connected to the Tokyu Line through mutual direct service, improving convenience. As a result, the salon was opened in Shin-Yokohama, which functions as a hub connecting Yokohama, where Sotetsu Real Estate is based, with other prefectures, making it easy for customers living in the city center to visit. The facility includes a lounge where events can be held, a presentation room where each property can be experienced in VR, and a concept room that expresses the "quality" of the Gracia brand. We were in charge of interiors concept design, environmental features, and display.

This is a trial project towards "creating an inclusive stadium where everyone can enjoy themselves."
