Tetra Pak is a global leading company in food processing and paper container filling and packaging systems founded in Sweden in 1951. The Gotemba Technical Center is the core base for domestic technical services for the Japanese subsidiary, Tetra Pak Japan, and plays an important role in product support by demonstrating filling and packaging systems, performing quality control, and analyzing and evaluating paper containers. The facility is celebrating its 25th anniversary since moving to Gotemba in 1999. Therefore, a large-scale renovation project was carried out to renew the space into one where innovation for new product development and sustainability efforts can be experienced through displays and digital tools. concept design was handled by Pike, the overall project was overseen by Jones Lang LaSalle, and we participated in this project as the general construction company for interiors. To realize concept design that would convey Tetra Pak's high level of technical capability, the entrance lobby that welcomes guests has been designed with three core elements in concept design: a sharp shape reminiscent of folded paper, which is the root of the company's business, linear lighting that emphasizes these folds, and pure white, which expresses the pride they take in safety as a company involved with food. The showroom, where actual business negotiations take place, follows the above concepts and also incorporates a woodgrain color scheme that expresses Tetra Pak's approach to sustainability.

The Aichi Sogyokan was newly established on the second floor of STATION Ai, a startup support center developed by Aichi Prefecture. Since ancient times, many entrepreneurs have been active in Aichi Prefecture and developed the industry. In order to understand what kind of encounters and ideas they had, and how they overcame adversity and created innovation, we aimed to create an exhibition that would provide hints for the future for those who will start their own businesses and the children of the next generation through encounters with the beliefs, spirit of challenge, and vision of entrepreneurs, and provide a timeless ``!'' encounter that stimulates creativity. The museum is divided into four zones, and a wide range of information is introduced, from the roots of Aichi's industry to the challenges of many entrepreneurs with ties to Aichi. By creating displays experiential displays that makes full use of digital technology such as video and AI, we provide a learning experience that is both sensual and touching to the heart for everyone from children to adults. In addition to the digital displays, we have also set up a library of books selected to be linked to the content of this facility. With the intention of leading these various displays contents, which combine digital and analog, beyond time and space into the future, we have realized a flexible, streamlined spatial concept design by incorporating the three elements that created Aichi - wood, water, and earth - into the spatial components.

The Oiwake area, located on the west side of Karuizawa, is popular for its bright and open atmosphere with the Mikage Waterway flowing slowly, unlike the atmosphere of the old summer resort of Old Karuizawa. The main residence is a one-story villa standing along the irrigation canal overlooking Mt. Asama. The owner, who enjoys skiing, built it as a ski house to use with friends in the winter, and since the owner likes natural stone, we sought a way to use stone that would be suitable for a villa. Since people spend a long time in a house, we thought about how to use the stone in a way that would increase the resolution of the space over time and suddenly notice the different expressions and charms of the natural stone, rather than attracting attention with luxury or decoration. The most symbolic space is the kitchen, which combines two natural stones. When you go through the corridor from the entrance hall, you will be greeted by a dynamic kitchen in front of you. There is no dining table, and by integrating the counter and dining table, the kitchen stands out and becomes a symbolic presence like a stage among the living room, dining room, and kitchen.

In recent years, a new layer of rock showing how the Jomon people mined obsidian was discovered at the Takayama Ruins and Hoshikuso Pass Obsidian Mine, a nationally designated historic site. displays Hoshikuso Museum has been opened, where visitors can see the excavated layer of rock and experience the activities of the Jomon people at that time. The exterior walls of the building have changed color due to rust over the years, and the message is that the memory of obsidian is preserved and passed on. Inside displays room, the layers of rock, 20 meters long and over 5 meters high, stand on both walls of the corridor, and are reproduced exactly as they were discovered during the excavation. The layers of rock are unevenly stacked in steps, and these were created by the soil and sand that the Jomon people dug up in the ground in search of obsidian. Projection mapping was applied to the lines of the layers of rock to recreate the activities of the Jomon people at that time in video. Through immersive images and impressive geological strata, you can experience the passion of the Jomon people, who mined for generations in search of precious obsidian, which is only found in limited areas.

The first new concept store, Sports Authority Toyokawa, aims to be more than just a sporting goods store; it aims to be a space that anyone can drop in to and feel like a "place" for.
