OMO7 Yokohama by Hoshino Resorts has opened in BASEGATE Yokohama Kannai, in front of JR Kannai Station, utilizing the former Yokohama City Hall administrative building as a legacy hotel. The hotel's first-floor OMO Base, based on the concept of "Hamaism," features the "Hamaism Collection," an exhibition showcasing Yokohama's culture and history. With the cooperation of the Yokohama City Urban Development Bureau and the Yokohama City Hometown History Foundation, our company was responsible for planning, basic concept, design, production, and construction. "Hamaism" embodies the spirit of Yokohama, cherishing authenticity and preserving the old. In this project, we designed it as a gradient of experiences, from diverse Yokohama culture to the deep memories of its architecture. At the entrance to the exhibition, playful models of Neapolitan spaghetti and ice cream are displayed, along with symbolic placements of Yokohama-born culture such as railways, gas lamps, and Hamatora (Yokohama Traditional). These catchy features stimulate curiosity and draw the viewer's gaze further inside. Furthermore, after exhibits such as the Noge Miyakobashi Shopping Street, which embodies "Not Scrap & Build" (*), the narrative unfolds into a world infused with respect for the renowned architect Togo Murano. Taizan tiles and brass door handles inherited from the former Yokohama City Hall have been reassembled as living pieces. In the design of the fixtures, the lighting plan has been thoroughly considered, and it has been meticulously designed to blend in with the tone of the architecture while making each exhibit stand out in the most beautiful way. *Not Scrap & Build: An approach that preserves and utilizes existing architecture while making the most of it, rather than "Scrap & Build," which involves demolishing old buildings and rebuilding new ones.

This flagship store translates YOKO CHAN's aesthetic of stripping away ornamentation to highlight the inner self and body of the wearer into a tangible space. Located a step away from the hustle and bustle of Roppongi, it aims to be a tranquil space where visitors can be freed from the noise of information and confront their own bodies and senses. In addition to sculptural forms and soft, curved plaster walls, the designer personally visited the production areas to find veneer and chunks of cedar root that had long been stored in warehouses, which were used as symbolic fixtures. The flowing curves drawn from the stone and wood grains are derived from the inner beauty of women that the brand cherishes.

Located directly above Komazawa University Station on the Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line, at the corner where National Route 246 and Jiyu-dori intersect, this is the area's first commercial facility project, serving as a gateway to Komazawa Park. We created a community-driven, street-level space that embodies the rural atmosphere characteristic of Komazawa, a truly local Tokyo area, fostering a new neighborhood place rooted in the community. For this first commercial facility development in the Komazawa area, we provided project management support for all aspects of the development, including facility concept, floor merchandising planning, tenant leasing, and opening preparation support.

To showcase Fujitsu's latest technologies to visitors, we planned an entrance space that combines the functions of displays and a lounge. concept design aims not only to displays cutting-edge technologies but also to create an immersive experience where visitors can feel like they are stepping into the information itself.

Head Office project is part of Head Office headquarters office planning project for Kasumigaseki Capital, following the 22nd floor, which houses both work and visitor areas, and the 34th floor, which contains work areas for new departments resulting from business expansion and group companies. The 27th floor, with its approximately 2,000 square meter private space, is comprised of two areas: a work area and a co-working area. The 28th floor, on the other hand, is a space that conveys Kasumigaseki Capital's continuous growth and change through spatial experience. Information never becomes outdated; it is constantly updated and reflects the present. While creating a tranquil and high-quality calm, the space begins to move gently as if breathing through changes in light, video, and materials. This space is a "living space" that reflects the unstoppable dynamism of the company, and is a place where visitors can encounter new discoveries and values with each visit. Our company was in charge of design, layout, signage and graphic concept design, environmental features, content design, production, and construction.

A permanent gallery has been newly established in the "Jinyamon Plaza," a gathering place for local residents located in the "GATE SQUARE Kosugi Jinyacho" residence in Nakahara Ward, Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture, to preserve the memory of the land. "GATE SQUARE Kosugi Jinyacho" is a residence project located on the site of the former main house of the Hara family, which has existed since the Edo period. Based on the concept of "Passing on the memories of Kosugi to the next generation," the gallery unravels the history of the Hara family and Musashi Kosugi, and constructs a space that harmonizes with the architecture of the residence, using ukiyo-e motifs. The history that has changed over the passage of 400 years is brought into the modern living environment, and the memories of this place and the activities of its people are passed on to the next generation in everyday life. The gallery was concept design as a new community space that promotes regional revitalization.

The original Century, a unique luxury car created to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Sakichi Toyoda, the founder of the Toyota Group, was born in 1967 and has built its position for over half a century, refining traditional Japanese beauty and craftsmanship. Then, in October 2025, the 100th anniversary of Sakichi Toyoda's founding of Toyota Automatic Loom Works in 1926, it was announced that "Century" would be newly established as an independent top-tier brand. Our company was in charge of displays design, layout, and construction of the brand's booth at "Japan Mobility Show 2025," embodying the brand concept of "One of One." The Century Coupe, making its world premiere, was placed on the main stage, and large-scale video exceeding 30 meters, light, and sound were coordinated to bathe the entire space in crimson, creating an overwhelming brand worldview. Furthermore, the exterior features layers of translucent fabric, inspired by the "loom" that is the root of the Toyota Group, and projected images onto it to create a sense of unity throughout the booth. The threads spun by Sakichi Toyoda and his successors become woven fabric, and eventually, like the phoenix, they are reborn as a crimson flare (flame), transmitting the spirit and beauty of Japan to the world.

Our company was in charge of Sigma's displays booth at CP+ 2026, the world's premier show for cameras and photographic imaging, held at Pacifico Yokohama. Since its founding, Sigma has always maintained a deep respect for people's passion for expression and has aimed to provide the best photographic equipment to meet all needs. One year after the announcement of a new VI that returns to this origin and re-examines the essence of Sigma, the Sigma booth at CP+ 2026 was an attempt to visualize this. In this project, the quality of "Made in Aizu, Japan," realized at the Aizu factory, the company's only production base, was used as the identity, and the philosophy of "The Art of engineering. Engineering for Art." was unfolded in the booth. The aim was to create a space where visitors could intuitively feel the respect and responsibility for optical technology, design philosophy, and photographic culture. In designing the booth, we reinterpreted "Japan" in the context of a comprehensive equipment displays. The booth's exterior design is inspired by the concepts of "hashirama" (spaces between pillars) and "yorishiro" (objects that serve as vessels for spirits), while the ceiling features a fabric curtain installation that expresses "light transmission" and "layered lenses." This was realized in collaboration with lighting designer Yoshiki Ichikawa (AURORA Inc.). By randomly hanging translucent fabric curtains and illuminating them with moving lights, a scene reminiscent of the fantastical misty landscapes of Aizu, Sigma's home ground, is created. In the test shooting experience corner, artwork made from waste materials generated during the manufacturing of aperture blades for interchangeable lenses was co-created with the team at Sawada concept design Studio. This was presented as a subject that allowed visitors to actually check the lens performance. Based on the question, "Are textual information and explanatory diagrams truly indispensable for true brand understanding?", the explanatory function was stripped down to the bare minimum, extracting only the most important physical brand embodiment value, aiming for a memorable spatial experience. *Event period: February 26 - March 1, 2026

"AI-STUDIO-YOKOHAMA," newly established in Yokohama Minato Mirai, is the core base for the East Japan area of AI Construction, a house builder based in Osaka with a nationwide presence. Taking advantage of its excellent transportation accessibility and the characteristics of the new neighborhood, it was planned as a showroom that showcases the company's appeal and spatial design capabilities. The entire facility serves as an information hub where visitors can experience the brand's value, and "hints for building a house" are scattered throughout, providing an experience that allows visitors to enjoy the home-building process in a positive way.

In line with Bic Camera's policy of moving beyond the mass-market retail model, we transformed their store from a manufacturer-driven, spec-based sales floor into a new type of store where customer-centric experiences and discoveries are born. Our group consistently produced this new store from conception to implementation. While inheriting the traditional, voluminous display style, we reconfigured the space across various categories, from home appliances to general merchandise, centering it around multiple lifestyles. We created a store experience where customers can find scenes in their lives that interest them, touch the products, and try them out thoroughly, ultimately discovering exceptional items that match their own values. From a place to "buy" to a place to "discover." In Ikebukuro, a fiercely competitive area for home appliance retailers, we created a hub that offers new value beyond the conventional framework.

Since its opening in 2001, the Cerulean Tower Tokyu Hotel has been a landmark in Shibuya. The Sky Banquet Hall on the 39th floor was named "Lunard" (Moon), "Soleil" (Sun), and "Celeste" (Sky) in reference to the sky, reflecting the desire to be a hub for international exchange that connects Japan and the world globally, just as people around the world share the sky. This renovation has resulted in concept design that more fully embodies the original concept of the sun, moon, and sky, corresponding to the names of each banquet hall. Beginning with the renovation of two banquet halls, the design has been expanded to include bar counters and curio cases in the foyer and corridors, creating a unified space that tells a story from the common areas. This adds elements of unity and elegance to the overall floor concept design. Furthermore, the space has been updated to accommodate the needs of MICE, corporate events, and weddings by allowing the combined use of the floor by connecting the banquet rooms. Between the 39th and 40th floors, a three-dimensional wall surface is formed that gradually transitions from cerulean blue to a translucent white, creating a deeper connection between the upper and lower floors.

Fairmont Tokyo, the first Fairmont Hotel & Resort in Japan, is a luxury hotel featuring 217 guest rooms, including 29 suites, five restaurants, two bars, an outdoor terrace, a sky chapel, and a spa. Located on the upper floors of the Blue Front Shibaura Tower S, it offers magnificent panoramic views of Tokyo and expresses the connection between the city and the waterfront through its spatial design. Our company was responsible for concept design of the Japanese specialty restaurant on the 36th floor and The View Suite, a suite located on the same floor.

Tower Records Shibuya store has undergone renovations on its 1st, 4th, and 5th floors with the aim of evolving into a store that encourages customers to linger and experience new things. In parallel with the renovations, a new type of standing-style beer bar, "TOWER RECORDS BEER," has opened on the 6th floor, which is the analog record floor.

KidZania, operated by KCJ GROUP, is a "city where children are the main characters," where they can learn about how society works while having fun. Sponsored by real companies, it's a facility where children can develop the skills to thrive in the future through realistic occupational and social experiences. The "Horse Center," which opened in a corner of "KidZania Tokyo" inside Lalaport Toyosu, operates under the principles of "getting close to horses and nurturing horse culture" and "interacting directly with horses and learning about their charm." Three activities allow children to "feel closer to horses" through jobs related to horses, which they don't usually have the opportunity to interact with. In "Veterinarian," children can experience a realistic abdominal surgery to treat a horse's twisted intestines, divided into surgeons and anesthesiologists. As an "Assistant Trainer," they can communicate with horses through grooming and experience the height of a horse by wearing horse tack and riding. Additionally, in "Horse Riding Experience," children can use a simulator to experience connecting with horses on three different riding courses at varying levels. The purpose of the KCJ GROUP and JRA is to create an opportunity for children to develop an interest in horses through their experiences at the "Horse Center," and to learn about the preciousness of life and the importance of working together as a team to accomplish things. From our position as construction and production company, we have embraced this vision and pursued a spatial quality that will give children profound insights, even under limited conditions.

At the Japan Mobility Show 2025, where visitors could experience Nissan Motor's "present" and "future" as they pioneer the era of electrification, the new Elgrand made its world premiere at the company's booth. The new model presents the evolved "joy of driving" through advanced technologies, including the third-generation e-POWER, and Nissan's vision of "premium touring mobility" as a new value proposition. Two new two-tone body colors have been adopted: "FUJI DAWN," which expresses the natural beauty of a fleeting moment at dawn over Mount Fuji, and "Shigoku," inspired by a color that has symbolized nobility and high status in Japan since ancient times. The lighting used to represent the passage of time from dawn to daytime and evening, symbolizing these colors, dramatically enhances the presence and worldview of the Elgrand. Furthermore, the booth features a minimalist, monochrome design based on white, expressing a pop-up book-like world where cars and cityscapes emerge from the pages of a blank book. In addition, it showcases models that embody Nissan's electrification and diverse lifestyle proposals, including the new Leaf with significantly extended driving range on a single charge, the new Roox which displays the value of kei cars, the Ariya with enhanced sophistication and advanced features, and the X-Trail with a stronger outdoor orientation. Moreover, the booth's configuration conveys a passion for driving and a commitment to challenge through the Fairlady Z, Skyline, Formula E car, and flagship SUV Patrol (Middle Eastern model). Our company handled the design, signage, production, and construction.
