This project is part of Tokyu Corporation's urban redevelopment project for the area east of Shibuya Station, aiming to create a new landmark building connecting Shibuya and Aoyama. Our company was responsible for consulting, leasing, furniture and fixture manufacturing, environmental features, building execution, and concept design criteria. The name "Shibuya Akushu" reflects our desire to connect (X: intersect) the towns of Aoyama and Shibuya, to become a facility that encourages interaction in a place where diverse people come and go. It also derives from the meaning of "handshake (akushu)," a greeting and a sign of friendship, expressing how different people and cultures will connect and mingle in this place, and how new value will be created from that. The area where Shibuya Akushu is located, extending from Shibuya Station towards Aoyama (hereinafter referred to as Aoshibu), is surrounded by main roads, which has hindered smooth movement between the area and surrounding areas. Furthermore, as it is primarily an office area, there has been a lack of places where people can gather and create a lively atmosphere. Therefore, this building, based on the concept of "TSUNAGI-BA" (a play on words meaning "connection"), aims to leverage the connection between the Shibuya 2-chome dining zone and the Aoyama educational area, and become an icon of "Aoshibu," following in the footsteps of Shibuya's representative areas such as Okushibu and Shibunan. The building consists of commercial facilities on the 1st to 4th floors and offices on the 5th to 23rd floors. With 15 stores, including restaurants (some with new business formats and some opening in the area for the first time), art galleries, and a health checkup center, the Aoshibu area, which was previously just a thoroughfare, will become a place for people to relax and enjoy a meal.

MIRAI-Bit is a website that allows users to experience some of the content related to the permanent displays at the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation (Miraikan), which reopened in November 2023. This includes "Aging Park," where anyone can experience a simulated aging process; "Nanairo Quest," which focuses on a future where robots and humans live together; and "Planetary Crisis," which deals with the global environment. MIRAI-Bit is also being toured to various locations so that science museums and other institutions across Japan can experience it. Our company was responsible for content creation and the design and construction of displays fixtures for the tour.

Bridgestone has opened an innovation hub, "Bridgestone Innovation Park," in Kodaira City, Tokyo. The central innovation center, "B-Innovation," is a facility designed to further promote interaction between people inside and outside the company, connect empathy for Bridgestone to co-creation, and accelerate innovation. Our company was in charge of the planning, design, environmental design, and construction of the "Bridgestone Open Innovation Hub," which serves as the entrance to "B-concept design" and is a place where people can see, touch, and expand their ideas by actually seeing and touching Bridgestone's core technologies and products. In addition, we have worked closely with Bridgestone to implement operational and spatial design based on behavioral science to guide users towards their desired mindset.

In November 2023, the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation (Miraikan) opened two new permanent displays themed around "robots": "Hello! Robot" and "Nanairo Quest - A Story of the Future Living with Robots." "Hello! Robot" is displays where visitors can imagine living with diverse robots in the future and discover new possibilities through interactions with robots and introductions to the latest robotics research. "Nanairo Quest" is an exhibition where visitors explore displays space using a dedicated tablet to solve problems that occur in "Nanairo City," a future city where humans and robots live together. Through conversations with residents and information about robots active in the city, visitors can learn about various displays in which humans and robots interact and gain new insights. Our company was in charge of schematic design, working drawings, and construction. We also handled the design and construction of "Nobel Q," which was renovated in September 2023.

Located in the Maihama-Shin-Urayasu area of Chiba Prefecture, "1955 Tokyo Bay by Hoshino Resorts" is a 638-room hotel concept design with the concept of "OLDIES GOODIES," inspired by the American worldview of around 1955. It offers convenient and comfortable hotel services for theme park trips, including restaurants where guests can enjoy freshly prepared meals late at night or early in the morning, a 24-hour public space called "2nd Room," and rooms and amenities that are safe and comfortable even with children. The hotel also offers a variety of room types, with interiors featuring concept design and colors reminiscent of America at the time, creating a space that can be used by families, couples, friends, and groups of all ages and for diverse occasions. Our company has been involved in the creation of spaces for many of the brands handled by Hoshino Resorts, such as "Hoshinoya," "Kai," and "OMO," and participated in this facility from the conceptual stage. We were comprehensively in charge of everything from formulating the spatial concept that forms the core of the branding, to art direction, design, layout, and construction.

This project involved the planning, design, and construction of an employee-only lounge for office tenants within the Shinjuku Center Building. Our company participated in this project from the very beginning, providing business planning, basic concepts, operational support proposals, and concept and naming suggestions. As a testing ground, concept design was conceived with the possibility of repurposing the space in other areas (vacant spaces) in mind.
