Gontran Cherrier, which currently operates about 60 stores in France, Asia, North America, the Middle East, and other countries, opened stores in Japan from 2012 to 2017, and this time it will be returning to Japan. For this store, Gontran Cherrier has renewed the recipe for its standard croissant, due to his strong feelings for Japan, and has created a wide range of menu items using unique Japanese ingredients and Gontran recipes, breathing a new wind of bakery into Aoyama, Tokyo. Part of the kitchen on the first floor can be seen from both the outside and inside the store, creating a live feeling of freshly baked bread together with the shop. In addition, the eat-in corner on the second floor is in an excellent location with a panoramic view of Aoyama Street, and has a spacious space where you can relax and unwind. The spatial concept design concept of the Aoyama store is "Japanese style, supreme hospitality at Gontran's house in Aoyama, Tokyo," and the maisonette space connected by a staircase between the first and second floors and the outdoor terrace seats are likened to a "mansion." We used the traditional Japanese color of Omeshi-iro (brown) on the surfaces and furniture, and original furoshiki (wrapping cloth) for the display to create a Japanese feel. <Our project members> [Sales/Project Management] Kenichiro Otake [design, layout] Toshio Yamamoto, Mei Watanabe [Production/ construction] Ryohei Azechi, Ren Shimizu, Tamao Kobayashi [Electrical Equipment] Yuya Tsuboi

Keiyo Gas' Ichikawa showroom in Ichikawa, Chiba Prefecture, has been renovated into a community space open to the local community. The name "KeiyoGAS Community Terrace" (commonly known as "Terrace") incorporates the desire to create a place for everyone and to aim for the company's concept of "the next happy moment" through the "veranda = terrace" that is the point of contact between people, the city and life. The interior of the building was concept design with the concept of "veranda = terrace" in mind, to be a place for everyone that accepts the free activities and diverse ways of spending time of local people. In addition, under the facility slogan "Lighting up children, adults and the city," we have developed mechanisms that allow users to participate in community building and initiatives to support local life and activities. Through these initiatives, we aimed to create a community that grows together with citizens and the local community.

This project involved the renovation of a Japanese restaurant on Bashamichi, Yokohama, into a Chinese restaurant. The concept is "delicious Chinese food to eat on Bashamichi," which is different from the neighboring Yokohama Chinatown. interiors is finished in chic colors, and the fixtures are concept design to create a classy and sophisticated space. The restaurant's name, "Suirinkaku," expresses the desire to quietly and gently penetrate the hearts of our customers. [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] The customer requested that some of the artworks they owned be displays as artwork in the restaurant. [Solution] We cleaned and processed each piece of artwork that had been cherished for a long time, and selected a frame that suited the work before installing it. <Our Project Members> [Sales/Project Management] Kondo Masashi, Yoshida Wataru [design, layout] Taya Toshiyuki, Aikawa Takashi, Ishii Yumi, Yamamoto Akira, Nakajima Tadahiro [Production/ construction] Oikawa Yasuhiko

This project is one of the projects to help the residents of the areas that will be submerged due to the construction of the Yamba Dam to rebuild their lives and find meaning in life. For about six years, we were in charge of the basic plan, schematic design, working drawings, supervision, and consulting work to support the local management company for the "regional development facilities" in the "Kawarayu District" and "Yokobe District" of the relevant areas. The Kawarayu District is a tourist destination with Kawarayu Onsen, which has been around for over 800 years, and is adjacent to JR Kawarayu Onsen Station. From the perspective of location characteristics, scenery, and business scale, we proposed a "Station Front x Campsite & BBQ x Hot Spring Facility" business. While listening to the opinions of the local residents, Naganohara Town, and Gunma Prefecture, we comprehensively planned and produced the project, from the launch and support of the local management body, to attracting a campsite management partner company, consulting on the business plan, and facility design, layout. The facility is divided by the JR Agatsuma Line, and consists of the "Kawarayu Onsen Play Base NOA" with a cafe and hot spring on the upper level, and the "Kawarayu Onsen Station Campground" with a plaza where you can enjoy BBQ and bonfires, a wood-burning bath, a tent sauna, and canoeing and kayaking on the dam lake on the lower level. [Social Issues / Customer Issues / Requests] [Business] It was necessary to understand what it means for the local residents to rebuild their lives and create a purpose in life. Through repeated discussions with the residents, issues were identified that aim to revitalize the area, such as coexistence with the hot spring town, promotion of employment for local people, especially young people, and encouraging the outflow of the population to return to their hometowns. In addition, they requested that the facility be differentiated from facilities planned in other areas and similar facilities, and have the ability to attract customers and be unique. [concept design] They requested that concept design be unique to the area, taking into consideration the bridge that tourists passing by to visit the dam and visibility from the opposite bank, which is a busy area, and that the facility be easy to operate by harmonizing the complex multi-purpose facilities (hot springs, restaurants, rest areas, observation decks, tenants, conference rooms, etc.). [Solution] [Business aspect] The Yamba Dam project took 70 years from planning to completion, but there were arguments for and against the construction of the dam, and many residents moved out. From the perspective of launching the project, we focused on proposing a business plan with multiple perspectives and a bird's-eye view. We listened to the various business ideas desired by the local residents, made recommendations on how to make them feasible, made adjustments to avoid competition with businesses in the surrounding area, and differentiated each facility, aiming for a project that emphasized the uniqueness of each area. [concept design aspect] The concept was the "Azuma River," which is the origin of the name of the former Kawarayu area. As we proceeded with concept design, we received feedback from local residents that it looked like a "boat rising with the area on board," so we created a distinctive building that symbolizes the two concepts. For the interior space, we planned a gently curving flow line and slope that combined various functions to match the long and narrow shape from east to west, making it an easy-to-use space with mobility. <Our project members> [Sales/Project Management] Satoshi Arai, Hitomi Yamamoto [Planning/Consulting] Kenichi Sakazume, Yuki Shimokuni [design, layout] NAU: Sakae Kirioka, Nana Osano

This project is one of the projects to help the residents of the areas that will be submerged due to the construction of the Yamba Dam to rebuild their lives and find meaning in life. For about six years, we were in charge of the basic plan, schematic design, working drawings, interior administration, and consulting work to support local management companies for the "regional development facilities" in the "Kawarayu District" and "Yokobe District" of the relevant areas. For the Yokobe Regional Development Facility, we not only planned the construction, but also supported the launch of the management body established in the district, and planned and produced the facility, including the attraction of companies to enter the market, consulting on restaurants run by residents, menu development, and management supervision of opening equipment. The facility concept design was based on the concept of "inheriting and developing the town's memories," and reproduced the former Naganohara Town Hall*, which had fulfilled its role after about 90 years of construction and was scheduled for demolition, as a symbol of the district. We designed the facility to create an opportunity for the children who will be the future leaders of the district and the tourists who visit, to see the town's history, and to help the new businesses that will be run here lead to the regeneration, reconstruction, and development of the district. *The old government building, built in 1929 (Showa 4), was a two-story wooden building with a hipped roof and a Japanese-Western style exterior with a porch and a gabled roof on top. It was also said to be the only wooden government building in Gunma Prefecture. [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] [Business] With the construction of the Yamba Dam, it was requested to establish a new business that had never been done before in this area, as a facility for the residents of the area to be submerged and rebuild their lives and find meaning in life. In addition, it was requested that the facility be differentiated from facilities planned in other areas and similar facilities, and that it have the ability to attract customers and be unique. [concept design] It was requested that the old government building, which is filled with people's memories, be utilized in some way, that it be visible from the busy national highway from the perspective of attracting customers, and that it be planned to attract passersby. It was also requested that the plan take advantage of the view that allows the Yamba Dam to be seen in the distance and the lake to be seen in the distance. [Solution] [Business] In order to realize the request, we focused on the following three points: first, to make suggestions to make the business ideas of the local residents possible; second, to differentiate the local regional development facilities between "Yokobe District" and "Kawarayu District"; and third, to strongly support the launch of a local parent company. In this project, we aimed to "open a restaurant," which none of the local people had experience in, and promoted it in a way that was close to the characteristics of the area and the characteristics of the business. In particular, we had many conversations about "looking for the Yokobe District's uniqueness" and "utilizing local recipes," and developed menus together, and promoted a plan that was closely tied to the area. For the prototype and tasting session, we invited professional chefs to support the local people in raising their awareness, revitalizing the area by improving their cooking skills, and strengthening their self-sufficiency. [concept design] When converting the function of the town hall to Lake Station, we surveyed the existing building and decided to recreate it in a modern update while taking into consideration the nostalgia of the former town hall building. The retro and distinctive design of the old government building has been reproduced to create a visual appeal. In addition, by creating an open opening facing Yamba Dam, the location has one of the best views of any facility around the dam lake. Furthermore, in order to maintain the style of the old government building while conforming to current regulations, careful consideration was given to the structural design. <Our project members> [Sales/Project Management] Arai Satoshi, Yamamoto Hitomi [Planning/Consulting] Sakazume Kenichi, Shimokuni Yuki [design, layout] NAU: Kirioka Sakae, Osano Nana

In March 2021, NOMURA Co.,Ltd. Ltd. opened a new office in the Daiba Garden City Building adjacent to Head Office 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 Co.,Ltd. Group. In 2019, NOMURA Co.,Ltd. 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 spaces. By clarifying the purpose, it became a low-cost and sophisticated space. This project was planned, designed, construction, and operated by NOMURA Co.,Ltd. Group.

The Yamato Group History Museum Kuroneko Yamato Museum was established to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Yamato Group's founding. This museum, which communicates the Yamato Group's 100-year history and future initiatives, was opened in the Yamato Konan Building, which was built as the group's next-generation base, and combines a collection and distribution center with a history museum, a research institute to explore the future of logistics, a training center for human resources development, and a cafe to support the social independence of people with disabilities. The museum has a spatial structure unique to a logistics company, where visitors can trace the 100-year history and changes in the world by descending the spiral road on the building's perimeter where the transport trucks run, and the spiral displays space created above and below the road is superimposed on the "road" that the Yamato Group has walked.

"LifeWear" is UNIQLO's commitment to creating perfect clothing that meets the needs of every person's lifestyle. In 2020, UNIQLO further evolved its existing UNIQLO stores and opened new UNIQLO stores that embody LifeWear in Yokohama, Harajuku, and Ginza. These stores are managed by Kashiwa Sato, who is the total producer and creative director, and will provide all customers who visit the stores with the best clothes and maximum service that UNIQLO can imagine. We supported the new global flagship store "UNIQLO TOKYO" that opened at Marronnier Gate Ginza 2 in Ginza from the architect selection process stage, and were responsible for schematic design and construction of interiors. In addition, part of interiors and exterior concept design were handled by Herzog & de Meuron, a Swiss architectural unit that has received the Pritzker Prize, known as the Nobel Prize of architecture, and the Praemium Imperiale, in honor of Prince Takamatsu. This store is an information dissemination store filled with the charm of UNIQLO now and in the future. [Social Issues / Customer Issues / Requests] ・Based on the concept of "All LifeWear Here," we needed to create a store unlike any other as "the world's most evolved retail store." ・Hardware: The UNIQLO Marronnier Gate Ginza store, which was located on the 7th floor of Marronnier Gate Ginza 2, was relocated and expanded to four floors from the 1st to 4th floors, marking the first renovation in eight years. A large-scale renovation was required that would create new value by considering the architecture and interiors concept design comprehensively. ・Software: Opening a store in the Ginza/Yurakucho area, where redevelopment is progressing, was an important and major challenge for UNIQLO's store opening strategy, and a new store was required to be created for customers visiting the city. [Solution] To address this issue: 1. In terms of hardware, we created a new UNIQLO with a "bold store concept design that exposed the current architectural structure as it is." Most of the structure of the building, which was completed in 1984, was in good condition and beautiful, so we peeled off the exterior of the building to create a powerful impression as a structure, connecting the inside and outside of the building. The existing slab was cut away to create a bold void space* that runs through the four floors, visually connecting the upper and lower floors and contributing to an open and dynamic spatial composition. *Void space: An open atrium space without any intentionally constructed structures. 2. In terms of intangible aspects, the store was positioned as a new UNIQLO hub, with "each sales floor having its own characteristics and a full lineup of UNIQLO products." In addition, a well-thought-out circulation plan has made the most of the sales floor space on one floor to develop products and provide a comfortable shopping experience. We took advantage of our strengths in design and construction to support the realization of "not just a shopping experience, but an information dissemination store filled with the charm of UNIQLO in the future," and "a store that embodies LifeWear, with UNIQLO aiming to be a higher-quality, higher-quality store." We also placed importance on the characteristics and location of the store, as well as the history and respect for the place, and helped with the overall store concept, so that the store would be a social presence that the local people who open the store would think of as their own. * displays are from the time of the photo. The contents of displays vary depending on the season. <Our project members> [Sales/Project Management] Takahashi Muneaki, Miyaura Hidenori, Watanabe Yuta [Planning] Yamazaki Makoto, Tominaga Soji [design, layout] NODE: Naka Kazuya, Yamaguchi Hiroshi [Production/ construction] Hatano Atsushi, Yoshida Risa, Yamagami Fumiyasu, Ohara Yuka, Odajima Kotaka, Omae Atsushi, Miyashita Yasutake/ NOMURA (Beijing) Co., Ltd..: Tsuchiya Yuya
