植物バイオメソドロジーという革新的なアプローチのもと誕生したWaphytoの日本橋髙島屋店です。植物を意味する“PHYTO”、そして「和」「東三河発」「本草学」から「日本」を意図する“WA”。人と自然が美しく調和されていることへの願いが込められたWaphytoという名前にふさわしい人と自然の鼓動を感じる空間に仕立てました。葉から落ちる雫をイメージした丸い棚板と対になる場所には人の営みから連想されるディテールなどを落とし込み、日本の伝統手法や白銀比を用いて調和させることでWaphytoに込められた想いを表現しています。

シニアの生活がより充実する社会を目指す事業のひとつとして、全国359拠点705事業所で介護サービスそよ風ブランドを展開しており、デイサービスやショートステイ、訪問介護、介護付きホーム、サービス付き高齢者向け住宅など、幅広いサービスを提供しています。これまでの介護施設では、設備機器の営繕などが中心となっておりましたが、施設のバリューアップや更なるサービス向上のためには、内装デザインも重要と捉え、「機能性とデザイン性の両立」を目指した施設づくりを行いました。施設名称にもなっている“メープル”仕上げを随所に設え、明るさや暖かさを感じられる空間を演出しています。また、共用空間には照明制御システムも導入することで、介護施設内で過ごされる1日の中で、健やかな生活リズムをサポートできるように、空間全体をコーディネートしました。

日本を代表するモータースポーツの拠点「富士スピードウェイ」に隣接した敷地に新築された、「ホテル」と「モータースポーツミュージアム」を融合した施設です。「モータースポーツの魅力と価値」と「ハイアットブランドが提供するホスピタリティー」の融合により、唯一無二の体験を提供する場となっています。「内装（ホテルインテリア）」と「展示（ミュージアム）」の垣根を越え、空間におけるすべてを「モータースポーツの魅力と価値」を伝えるメディアと捉えたデザインワークを展開しています。施設全体に散りばめられたアートワークは、モータースポーツに関する膨大なリサーチやデータから構築されたメッセージを持つことで、素人から玄人まで楽しめるものとなっています。またミュージアムとしては世界で初めて「メーカーの垣根を越えてモータースポーツを通史で展示・紹介」しています。解説文中心の説明的な展示ではなく、モータースポーツ文化が歴史の中で社会にもたらしてきた価値を直感的に捉えられる展示を目指すため、車両と時代背景を組み合わせることで変遷を回遊しながら俯瞰できる展示構造としました。中でも特にメインとなるゾーンは映像音響を含んだ臨場感あるシアター型展示などで印象的に演出しました。

WEAZER, developed by ARTH Co., Ltd., is an off-grid residential module that generates electricity using solar power and produces water by filtering and sterilizing rainwater, making it installable even in locations without electricity, gas, or water infrastructure. In addition, it is characterized by its ability to be installed in a short construction period of just a few days, as it is manufactured in a factory and transported. By incorporating this latest technology, it realizes a world where people can stay anywhere in the world without harming nature, simply by "placing" it, and the first model has now opened in West Izu as a single-unit rental accommodation. Our company was in charge of design supervision and FF&E design and production for this facility.

As the main platform for the "RED°" brand, Japan's largest esports park has been created inside Tokyo Tower, an icon of Tokyo/Japan. This entertainment facility aims to be the forefront stage for the evolution of esports into a national culture, offering an "otherworldly entertainment experience" packed with fun in every aspect, from playing the latest game titles to enjoying tournaments and events in a stadium equipped with the world's most advanced XR technology. While making the most of the building's age, the design avoids making the overall space too polished, preserving the character and texture of the materials that come with age, and creating concept design that makes you aware that it is an interior space of Tokyo Tower. The strength created by showcasing the texture of metal and mortar and the structure itself makes the space seem as if it is encroaching on Tokyo Tower. Anticipating collaborations with companies and manufacturers, a versatile yet edgy neutral color is used as the base, and the brand color "TOKYO RED," which is also the name of the facility, is effectively incorporated into the space, making a strong impression of the RED° brand. By combining it with video effects, we have created a new, futuristic space.

This is a renovation project for Shiodome Edge (formerly Shiodome Annex Building). Having been built 20 years ago, the need for refreshing concept design and facilities of the entrance and common areas was increasing. In order to enhance competitiveness within the area, this renovation aimed to attract new tenants, improve the satisfaction of existing tenants, and increase the asset value of the building. Furthermore, based on the concept of "SELECTABLE OFFICE," concept design allows companies to choose common areas that match their brand by creating a unique atmosphere on each floor.

concept design This is a project for the interior and exterior of a salon for Nomura Real Estate Development Co. Based on the common concept of "wrapping and concealing" the interior and exterior to welcome customers, we developed four "skins": "a white pipe skin to conceal the facade," "a black plaster skin to create a gallery space," "a curtain skin to welcome customers," "a copper perforated metal skin to conceal customers in the waiting area," and "a white pipe skin to conceal the interior and exterior. The space is composed of four "concealment elements": a white pipe skin that conceals the facade, a black plaster skin that creates a gallery space, a curtain skin that welcomes visitors, and a perforated metal skin in a copper tone that conceals visitors in the waiting area. The space is a natural fusion of function and design, with a sense of security as if customers are hidden from the outside and enveloped once inside.

"THE BASE SPORTS BIKE & COMMUNITY" is a project to create a new concept shop specializing in road bikes for cyclists, in response to the increased demand for bicycles during the COVID-19 pandemic and the growing interest in road bikes due to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The exterior "cycling road" extends into the store, allowing customers to enter while still on their bicycles. In the center of the store, there is an artificial turf rest area and experience space where customers wearing clipless shoes can relax comfortably and enjoy events such as test rides, maintenance, and purchasing their favorite accessories to upgrade their bikes, fostering communication among customers through their shared hobby of cycling. The fixtures have pallet bases, allowing for flexible layouts, and the louvers surrounding the sales floor walls have the function of displays bicycles face out. concept design of the new store proposes a space where people can stop along a cycling road in their lives to rest or perform maintenance. <Our Project Members> [design, layout] no.10: Keita Aono, Yu Yoshie [Sales & Project Management] Rikiya Takasugi [building execution] Nanako Yamagishi

This is a value-enhancing renovation project for an office building located in a corner of Kanda Ogawacho, approximately 20 years old. The main areas of renovation are part of the exterior facade and building signage, the first-floor entrance, and the common areas on the standard floors (4th floor). The overall concept design concept is "Timeless & Biophilic concept design *". By making good use of the existing granite space, the amount of waste disposal due to demolition was minimized, and concept design was made cost-effective while being mindful of sustainability by fusing old and good materials with new materials. *Biophilic concept design: Design and methods that allow people in a space to feel a connection with nature. [Social Issues/Client Issues/Requests] As the building was over 20 years old, the outdated concept design of the entrance and other areas, as well as the decline in competitiveness within the area, were concerns for the future. In addition, since the building's entrance does not face the main street, the main traffic flow had a somewhat alley-like impression, and there was room for improvement in terms of the building's visibility. Based on these challenges, this project required improving the competitiveness and visibility of the property through renovations to the entrance, facade, and some standard floors. [Solution] To soften the previously dark, back-alley feel of the facade, dynamic wood-grain louvers and indirect lighting were newly installed to create a brighter building face. Inside the entrance, two different textures, glass and natural wood, were used to refresh the old-fashioned feel and aim to improve the morale of the people working there. Sanitary equipment such as toilets and kitchenettes on the office floors were also renovated to meet new standards such as antibacterial properties. Through these comprehensive renovations, the aim is to make the entire building a safe and comfortable place for the people who work there. [Customer Feedback] We are grateful to all the sales, designers, and construction staff at NOMURA Co.,Ltd. for working together as a team on this project, which has now been successfully completed. We appreciate the meticulous support at each phase. We feel that the renovated facade and entrance are functioning perfectly as the new face of the building. <Our Project Members> [Development] Takuya Kitai [Sales & Project Management] Masahiro Harada, Kayu Tatsumi [Research] Wataru Takada [design, layout] Hiroyuki Nii, Sayaka Miyane, Hitoshi Igarashi [Production & construction] Mai Sakai, Tomokuni Hasegawa, Fumiya Sasaki

In real estate consultations, the most important thing is to understand and envision the future that the client envisions. Meeting rooms play a crucial role in this, and recognizing that they occupy most of the store's floor space, we considered how each room could be incorporated as a concept design element. By transforming each room into a cube shape and scattering them around, and by adding elements that allow glimpses of the interior, we created an efficient space that maintains a sense of privacy while easing the tension of visitors.

As part of the renovation project for the Mori Art Museum in Roppongi Hills, we supported the renovation of the Mori Art Museum Shop on the 3rd floor of West Walk, as well as the opening of the Tokyo City View Shop on the 52nd floor of the Roppongi Hills Mori Tower. The curved, original fixtures installed in the Mori Art Museum Shop's sales area create a sense of rhythm by varying their heights while guiding customers along a natural flow. Furthermore, by extending a portion of the white displays wall of the adjacent A/D Gallery into the sales area, we created a seamless relationship that encourages movement between the sales area and the gallery. The Tokyo City View Shop is a compact store located along the passageway, yet it incorporates a freestanding wall that allows for the display of a wider variety of products. <Our Project Members> [Sales & Project Management] Takashi Niijima, Yuka Sunakoda [Production & construction] Masato Takeuchi, Hitomi Nagami Image provided by: Mori Art Museum

This experimental facility aims to expand Panasonic's air quality and air conditioning solutions, focusing on three themes: "Challenges in air quality in non-residential spaces," "A place for co-creation with business partners," and "Experiencing the latest prototype that controls the seven elements of air quality." Through this space, visitors can actually experience "wind" and use co-creation and development to promote solutions that meet customer needs. To allow visitors to feel the wind in various locations as part of the air quality and air conditioning solutions, group worksheets, meeting spaces, and private booths are available, enabling visitors to experience "wind" in different situations. The aim is for the use of this facility to promote co-creation and further lead to the practice of a human-centered product development process. [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] In order to expand the scope of air quality and air conditioning solutions, we received a request for a place to more attractively convey the excellent features of the latest products. [Solution] We utilized the glass facade that lets in natural light and constructed the space using materials that evoke natural elements such as wood grain and stone, aiming to create a space that feels more comfortable when combined with the "wind" solution. We have also made efforts to highlight the effectiveness of "wind" as one of the interiors design elements. Furthermore, the air quality and climate control solutions incorporated into each booth and area are not merely for displays, but are designed with careful consideration of layout and zoning to ensure they are easy to use as actual meeting spaces and workspaces. [Customer Feedback] The balanced proposal of materials that evoke natural elements such as wood grain and stone allowed the plants to blend seamlessly into the space when added, creating a well-being-oriented environment that harmonizes with the wind. Our employees also found the layout to be comfortable and easy to use. <Our Project Members> [Sales & Project Management] Nomura Medias: Hikaru Sato [design, layout] Hiroaki Mori [Production & construction] Nomura Medias: Toshiaki Kawabata, Kazuhiro Sano
