A comprehensive renovation began in the spring of 2016 with a project investment of approximately ¥5 billion, resulting in a successful reopening in the fall of the same year. Collaborating with general producer Junji Tanigawa of JTQ Inc. and general creative director Ryu Kosaka of AND, environmental design concept explored the essence of Nara, based on "Yamato Modern." concept design expresses the strength of Nara, evoked by ancient temples and Buddhist statues, with a voluminous feel, while the dazzling arrangements offer a contemporary interpretation of the beauty of "Tenpyo culture," further enhancing the facility's distinctive character. The logo and facility signage were all revamped with a "Yamato Modern" concept design scheme.

[Project Overview] The Takenaka Tools Museum was opened as the only museum of carpentry tools in Japan, with the theme of "Connecting people and nature, connecting tradition and innovation." Carpentry tools have a harsh fate of being used until they wear out and then disappear, especially when they are of high quality. In order to convey to future generations the wonderfulness of these disappearing carpentry tools and the "spirit of craftsmanship," the museum has been designed to allow visitors to feel the skills, wisdom, and dedication of the craftsmen through the five senses, through life-size models and tools, videos, photos, workshops, and more. We assisted with design, layout, interior administration, construction, and construction supervision. [Customer feedback] They dug deep into each theme, and pursued the maximum concept design suitable for each displays, not just superficial matters. Even when it came to construction, they carried out very careful work promotion, such as checking prototypes. By introducing participatory and experience-based displays that were not available in the old building, the number of family visitors increased, and the expected effect was achieved.

With the theme of providing a space where people can relax while gazing at the sky and planes, a new café with an outdoor terrace and an open lounge that can be used casually have been installed. Regardless of the time of day, the airport is often filled with businessmen waiting to board, as well as couples and families preparing to travel. With the main objectives of "making the airport experience more enjoyable" and "enhancing airport hospitality," the project played a part in creating an airport terminal that is beloved not only by passengers but also by local residents. It has also become a symbol that expresses "hospitality" through the greenery and sky. (Architecture and design: Yasui design administration, Inc.; Facilities design: Airport Engineering Co., Ltd.)

Patisserie Lab Tsuji is a store-type training room of Tsuji Culinary Group's senior school "Tsuji Confectionery Research Institute" and is located on the 3rd floor of Abeno Market Park Q's Mall. By engaging in manufacturing, operation, and sales in a system similar to that of an actual store, research students can not only learn practical confectionery making, but also comprehensively learn about the profession of patisserie. This is the first time in Japan that a store-type training room has been opened in a general commercial facility, not attached to a school.

[Project] ORIENTAL HOTEL, one of Japan's oldest hotels, was established in 1870. In March 2010, 15 years after the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, it began to make a new history as a symbol of the city's recovery. Throughout the entire building, while valuing the texture of the materials of stone and wood, we have added an oriental essence to the details to create a calm, high-quality feel and a new uniqueness.

This is the first collaboration showroom in a major metropolitan area and is the largest in scale (total area 840 tsubo) between TOTO, Daiken Corporation, and YKK AP. It targets the demand for renovation and remodeling in the Keihanshin area, especially the Hokusetsu region. While functioning as a base for communicating the corporate brand, it also features displays displays for the living/dining/kitchen space and for each part of the building, such as the bathroom, floors, walls, ceilings, windows, and exteriors, allowing visitors to experience TDY's products comprehensively.

[Project Summary] Takashimaya Osaka is a modern building with high historical value, decorated with Corinthian wall columns and arches, located at the end of Midosuji. "Namba Dining Maison" is a three-story dining zone from the 7th to 9th floors, spanning the expansion and the existing building, and was required to have a "high quality and class" appropriate for Takashimaya, as well as a "lively and energetic" atmosphere typical of Osaka. By sprinkling the "memories of modern architecture" throughout the interior space, we aimed to create a space that evokes the feeling that visitors are in a building with high historical value. We concept design the original pattern based on the details of the exterior of the building built in the early Showa period in a modern style, and continued it to evoke a Western patio in the atrium on the three floors and in front of the store facade, and further deployed the details of the exterior of the building in various parts of the environment to create a sense of unity across the three floors with different scenes.
