NOMURA Co.,Ltd. opened a new office in March 2021 in the Daiba Garden City Building adjacent to the Head Office building (Odaiba, Tokyo) to accommodate the new normal era. NOMURA Co.,Ltd. The Group's goal is to activate communication and better creativity among employees while taking advantage of the Group's diverse work styles and values. NOMURA Co.,Ltd. The Group launched a project in 2019 to consolidate Group company locations with the aim of creating an environment in which employees can work together more closely and synergistically. Facing the changes in work styles and social issues arising from the Corona disaster, we sought to create a realistic office space for the New Normal era with the three keywords of "health," "experimentation," and "brand" to create the "way of the future work. We believed that the function of the office in the new normal era would change from a "workplace" to an "innovative space that triggers communication," where a diverse range of people from inside and outside the company can gather and actively exchange ideas and opinions in a way that only the real world can offer. To this end, the communication space "RESET SPACE_2" was designed based on the concept of a "Unique Park," a park-like space that can be used by all employees to accommodate diverse and unique work styles. The space is made of 100% fair wood. CONFERIUM is a proposal for a new meeting room area, and is an attempt to "act displays in the way we work" by daring to actively showcase unique meetings. The know-how used in the displays space is applied to the office space, for example, by darkening the common corridor to make the conference room stand out as displays. The creative office area has adopted a group address system. The creative floor is designed to allow concept design work with an awareness of the "concept design feeling" of scale and materials, which is a major advantage when conducting concept design work. By clarifying the purpose of the space, we were able to create a sophisticated space at a low cost. This project was planned, designed, construction and managed by the NOMURA Co.,Ltd. group.

KidZania is operated by KCJ GROUP Co., Ltd. and is a "city where children play the leading role" where they can learn about the structure of society while having fun. The "publisher" pavilion, which opened in a corner of "KidZania Tokyo" in LaLaport Toyosu, allows you to experience the "joy of creating a book" through the flow of planning and editing until the creation of a new book. In this pavilion, as an editor, I will work on editing the "picture book" and "picture book". When editing the picture book, I used photographs of living creatures and thought of pages and covers that would surprise the reader. I think You can also take home the "picture book" or "picture book" edited by the participants. We understand the space concept created by KCJ GROUP, which supervises both space and application, and the planning elements of the content, and make a plan that takes into consideration the operation. We provided quality based on the concept in terms of constrained schedule and cost. <Our project members> [Project management] Kaori Suwabe, Daichi Kawamoto [Creative direction] Eiji Kawasaki, Kana Aoe [Product direction] Hiroki Kimura, Yuta Yamaguchi [Creative engineering] Masahiro Nishikawa, Naoya Miyamoto [Digital content direction] NOMLAB: Yoshitake Soichi

The Yamato Group History Museum, also known as the Kuroneko Yamato Museum, was established to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Yamato Group's founding. This history museum, which showcases the Yamato Group's 100-year history and future initiatives, is located within the Yamato Konan Building, a next-generation hub for the group. It brings together a variety of functions, including a history museum, a research institute exploring the future of logistics, a training center for human resource development, and a café supporting the social independence of people with disabilities, all centered around a delivery center. The museum features a unique spatial structure, characteristic of a logistics company, where visitors can trace 100 years of history and the changing times as they descend the spiral roadway around the building's perimeter, where transport trucks travel, creating another spiral displays space above and below it. The exhibition is structured into four eras, from the company's founding to the present day. It aims to be displays that blends space and experience, allowing visitors to relive 100 years of Yamato Group growth by experiencing the changes of the times through the streetscapes that served as the stage for history, the offices at the time, and the state of society and daily life, while also touching upon the struggles of service development "visually displays" and the thoughts of managers and employees that were embedded within it.

LifeWear" is UNIQLO's commitment to creating the perfect garment to meet the lifestyle needs of all people. In 2020, UNIQLO will open new UNIQLO stores in Yokohama, Harajuku, and Ginza, further evolving the existing UNIQLO stores and embodying LifeWear. Mr. Kashiwa Sato will be the total producer and creative director of these stores, which will provide all customers with the best clothes and the best service UNIQLO can think of. We supported the new global flagship store "UNIQLO TOKYO" opened at Marronniergate Ginza 2 in Ginza from the architect selection process stage and were in charge of interiors from schematic design to construction. Part of interiors and the exterior of concept design were designed by Herzog & de Meuron, a Swiss architectural unit that has won the Pritzker Prize, the Nobel Prize in Architecture, and the Praemium Imperiale Memorial Prize for World Culture. The new store is an information center that will be full of UNIQLO's current and future attractions. The concept of the store was "All of LifeWear here," and as "the world's most evolving retail store," it was necessary to create a store unlike any other in the world. ・Hardware aspects: The UNIQLO Marronnier Gate Ginza store was relocated and expanded from the 7th floor of Marronnier Gate Ginza 2 to four floors from the 1st floor to the 4th floor, the first renewal in eight years. A comprehensive architectural and interiors concept design consideration was required for a large-scale renovation that would create new value. The store was to be located in the Ginza/Yurakucho area, which is undergoing redevelopment. This was an important and significant challenge for UNIQLO's store opening strategy, and required the creation of a new store that would appeal to customers visiting the area. SOLUTION: To meet this challenge, we created a new UNIQLO store by "boldly exposing the existing building frame concept design" on the hardware side. The majority of the building frame, which was completed in 1984, was in good condition and beautiful, so we stripped off the surface layer of the building to create a powerful impression as a structure, connecting the interior and exterior of the building. The VOID space* that cuts through the existing slab and boldly planned four levels visually connects the upper and lower floors, contributing to an open and dynamic spatial composition. VOID space: A consciously created structure-free atrium space. 2. The well-thought-out circulation plan also allows for a comfortable shopping experience and a product lineup that makes the most of the one-floor sales floor space. We took advantage of the strengths of construction to help UNIQLO create a store that not only offers a great shopping experience, but also a store that transmits information about the future of UNIQLO, and a store that embodies UNIQLO's LifeWear concept, which aims to create a higher quality store with even higher standards of quality. We also helped with the overall store concept, emphasizing respect for the history and location of the land as well as the characteristics of the store and its location, so that the store would have a social presence that would make the locals who would be opening the store think of it as their own. displays is current at the time of the photo shoot. displays content differs depending on the season. ＜Sales and project management] Muneaki Takahashi, Hidenori Miyaura, Yuta Watanabe [Planning] Makoto Yamazaki, Soji Tominaga [design, layout] NODE: Kazuya Naka, Hiroshi Yamaguchi [Production, construction] Atsushi Hatano, Risa Yoshida, Fumiyasu Yamagami, Yuka Ohara, Katayoshi Odajima, Atsushi Omae, Yasutake Miyashita / NOMURA (Beijing) Co., Ltd.: Yuya Tsuchiya

[Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] - As this was a spring collection displays, displays space expressing the freshness of spring was required. - An impactful space that would catch the eye of customers entering from the entrance was required. - As UNIQLO is committed to sustainability, fixtures made of environmentally friendly materials that could be used continuously in the future were required. - As a measure against COVID-19, it was necessary to create custom benches that were easy to clean. [Solution] Many plants were placed inside the store to create a space that felt like a spring park overflowing with greenery, even indoors. Furthermore, a symbolic tree reaching 3.5m was placed in the center to create an impact. Cork was used as a material, showing consideration for the environment, and as a measure against COVID-19, the bench seats were made removable so that the seats could be covered with plastic, making them easy to clean. <Our Project Members> [Sales/Project Management] Hidenori Miyaura [design, layout] no.10: Yosuke Ando, Mayuko Fukumoto, Daisuke Okazaki [Production/ construction] Yurika Kita, Kurumi Kajimoto

This project involved the integration of offices for five advertising media companies of GREE. The concept of this project is "creating opportunities for interchange." This concept was born from the idea of "providing a place that creates opportunities for serendipitous encounters and communication." The entrance space, which will be the face of the five companies, is designed to be a space where you can feel change and movement, with lighting colors changing according to the time and scene through glass bricks. When used for events, it is envisioned that the light will have a rhythm in sync with the music to create a party scene. Inside the office, there is a place called "Breakthrough Base" that will serve as a catalyst for interaction between the five companies. "Breakthrough" means "not just a relaxation space, but a place to open up the future and break through the current situation," and "Base" means "not just a place, but a base that gives a sense of strength and hints that something is being planned." The flooring is laid out in a way that anticipates the flow of movement, and is planned to be an "interchange: a place where paths intersect," and is utilized as a place for natural interaction between the five companies. Areas that are touched by hands have been given an aged finish, giving a sense of liberation as if you were feeling the sea breeze in Shinjuku, where the sea is not visible. The use of plain materials and a variety of chair concept design created a relaxed space with a warm, laid-back feel. Furthermore, reflecting the idea of a fresh start, we aimed for a minimalist space without over-designing. While maintaining a sophisticated and stylish atmosphere, we also incorporated photogenic spots, befitting a company involved in social projects. We designed a space that is stylish yet inspires anticipation of new ideas and possibilities. <Our Project Members> [Sales & Project Management] Masaki Yotsuya, Kaori Murakami [design, layout] Atsuko Ozawa, Keita Obana

This project involves converting displays room within the Panasonic Center Tokyo into a VIP reception conference room. (Not open to the public) By utilizing the spatial composition that leverages human perception, 4K video is subtly incorporated into the space as if it were a material or landscape. Combined with ceiling height control and skylight effects using advanced lighting technology, the space is given a sense of spaciousness, pursuing a "comfortable atmosphere that encourages lively conversation." As the center receives many VIPs and state guests from both Japan and overseas, icebreaker elements have been incorporated throughout, such as ceiling designs inspired by the Japanese art of origami, video expressions reminiscent of a dry landscape garden, and scents that evoke a sense of Japanese aesthetics. Furthermore, handwritten patent application documents imbued with the founder's aspirations have been transformed into artwork and placed on the wall behind the head of the room, imbuing the space with soul. In conjunction with the lighting control, the scene can be switched according to various purposes, such as welcoming guests, dining, or meetings using multiple screens. While making full use of Panasonic's cutting-edge technology, we focused on understated expression to create an overall calm atmosphere, building a spatial value that combines novelty and high quality. <Our Project Members> [Sales/Project Management] Kei Yamazaki [Direction] Akane Yamaguchi [concept design] Shigemi Shimizu, Kiyoho Tani [Production/ construction] Hiromitsu Furuichi, Yuta Kumazawa

Jojoen, a renowned yakiniku (Japanese barbecue) restaurant founded in 1976, has planned its largest flagship store to date. At its founding location in Roppongi, many foreign customers visited the restaurant at the time, and the name of the restaurant comes from the sound of meat being grilled, which is pronounced "Jojo." Expanding on this idea from the sound of grilling meat, the concept of tone was adopted, and the finishes of materials such as Nishijin-ori (Kyoto textile), acrylic, stone, and glass were given characteristics that evoke a sense of rhythm. In addition, the piano booth was designed to visually appeal to the spread of sound during performance, creating a symbolic form. Drawing inspiration from the brand's history, this project strengthens the relationship between food, space, and sound. concept design aims to create a space that resonates with the five senses of customers and allows them to feel the happiness of food even more. <Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests> - To create a presence and sense of luxury befitting a flagship store. - To plan seating that can accommodate various occasions. <Solutions> -concept design utilizes the characteristics of materials such as wood, stone, Nishijin-ori, and acrylic. We planned seating arrangements that can accommodate various occasions, including private rooms, semi-private rooms, pair seats, hall seats, and circular sofa seats. <Our Project Members> [Sales & Project Management] Yasuhiro Tsuruta [design, layout] RENS: Ryutaro Matsuura, Yuka Kurachi, Takuro Ishizawa [Production & construction] Mikiya Fujitaka, Takashi Yokoyama, Mariko Yamamoto

The entrance lobby of Excom Global's headquarters Head Office specializing in providing communication environments, including mobile internet access for travelers abroad. Mobile communication services create diverse connections around the world, linking people to people and people to things. The way individual communication chains transcend countries and generations, eventually giving rise to global movements and weaving together one large entity, is reminiscent of a "forest" where the activities and connections of various living things create the expansion of more life. The infinite connections and possibilities that Excom Global's business brings to the world are superimposed on the state of a rich forest, and concept design theme is based on the natural forms found there, the memories of the forest's growth, and the beautiful appearance that changes with time. As an element symbolizing the forest landscape, the walls are covered with panels concept design with the overlapping silhouettes of trees as a motif. During the day, sunlight, and after sunset, artificial light, casts soft shadows on the floor and walls through the panel openings, creating an impression of dappled sunlight filtering through trees, making it feel as if you are in a forest, even though you are inside a high-rise building in Shibuya. The striking tables and drink counters are concept design with "tree rings" as a motif, representing the memory of a forest's growth. Bent metal plates are assembled in a concentric offset pattern, and the tabletop is made of transparent acrylic so that this process can be seen. The layout plan divides the space into two areas: a reception area for welcoming guests and a meeting area for business negotiations, and under the above concept design theme, efforts have been made to create appropriate levels of privacy and transparency for each scene. [Client's Challenges/Requests] We received a request to concept design a reception space and business negotiation space with an atmosphere like the lobby of a luxury hotel. <Our Project Members> [Sales & Project Management] Kazushige Ishii, Kaori Murakami [design, layout] Yoshihiro Kitamura [Production & construction] Ikuo Chikaishi, Tetsuji Koike, Takuya Kagawa
