[Project Description] We have created a space at the large shopping mall "LaLaport Shonan Hiratsuka" that brings together functions to make it more comfortable and safe for families with young children. The 170u kids' zone "Kids Park," located next to the food court, is divided into areas according to age group and uses highly cushioned interiors materials that are carefully considered for safety, providing a safe space for children to play. "Koniwa House" is a rest space where parents with young children who are visiting the mall can take a breather. It has a small garden where adults and children can relax after taking off their shoes, a space for feeding babies solid food, and a nursing room where you can stretch out and relax. [Project Highlights] - Consideration has been given to reducing the psychological and physical burden on both children and parents, such as a kids' zone where children can rest before and after meals or eat while being supervised, and a nursing room where parents can stretch out and relax. - Zoning has been implemented according to the different ways of spending time, such as a quiet play zone, an active play zone, and a baby zone. - A simple space has been designed to incorporate features that stimulate children's instincts and curiosity. <Our Project Members> [Sales/Project Management] Hidefumi Ikuta [Planning] TeamM [design, layout] Yoko Suzuki, Kenta Omoto, Akika Yamada [Production/ construction] Katsuei Iwakura

Twenty years have passed since the museum opened, and the theme of "the relationship between the lake and humans," which has been a focus since the beginning, has been further deepened in displays. concept design displays displays landscape, field, life, and thoughts uses the passage of 20 years and the changes, as well as the relationship with people, as a starting point to unfold the present state of Lake Biwa through experiences, dioramas, and live animal breeding. In the "Creature Collection" in displays Room C, specimens of creatures inhabiting Lake Biwa and its catchment area create a space where the beauty and diversity can be felt at a glance. In the aquarium displays room, the visualization of aquatic life connects to an interest in living organisms. With the addition of the popular Baikal seal and the "Micro Aquarium" featuring microorganisms, the museum is attracting many visitors and researchers as a new form of museum.

In conjunction with the expansion of the East-West Free Passage in the Sendai Station Renovation Project, we promoted environmental design in the facility for the new East Wing expansion of the Espal Sendai Store East Wing and the renovation of the existing building schematic design under design administration of JR East, which is in charge of design administration. The plan was to expand the floor space of Stellnet I T and grand open the 2nd and 3rd floors of the main building in March 2016, and to open the 1st floor of the main building in March 2017 and Stellnet II in June 2017. We assisted working drawings and construction operations for the first three floors of the main building and schematic design for Stellne.

[Project Overview] This is a spatial installation by the Italian luxury watch brand "PANERAI". First, a transparent, shell-like watch was concept design, condensing Panerai's characteristic features such as the indices made with single-stroke numbers and the square-shaped case. This shell was then stretched to a length of 16 meters using extrusion molding. Watches are then made by hand, gradually slicing this elongated "shell watch," and visitors can take home the finished product. As the visitor's "age" is converted to "mm" and cut out, watches with various proportions are naturally produced. A circular atelier space is prepared for each work process, such as polishing, sandblasting, and assembly, and the way these spaces mesh and work together to gradually complete the watch is like the gears of a clock. One watch is made every 5 minutes, and the elongated "shell watch" gradually shortens during displays period, ending the installation the moment it all disappears. In other words, this "shell watch" also serves as a device to make us perceive time, like an hourglass. We thought that by converting "time" into "length," like selling time by weight, it would be possible to experience time and even "take home your own time." This project was handled by our concept design team "onndo (*)." *What is "onndo"? Operated by nomura and nendo design office, onndo is our creative team that has a business partnership with nendo, concept design office headed by the globally acclaimed designer Oki Sato.

[Project Overview] This is a PR project for SK-II's super prestige series, MASTERPIECE PITERA. To allow visitors to experience the world of MASTERPIECE PITERA firsthand, the space was designed to create a flow where visitors pass through a facade modeled after the packaging and then enter the bottle itself. The materials used to create the space were carefully selected from the characteristics of both the packaging and the bottle, and then incorporated into the space. From the distinctive bottle, we extracted shimmer, reflection, and three-dimensionality, and expressed these by layering 52 polycarbonate screens of varying widths, each covered with an original film. By using polycarbonate, we were able to simultaneously overcome issues related to load-bearing capacity for the building and interiors restrictions such as the use of non-combustible materials, which could not be resolved with glass or acrylic. An original video inspired by PITERA was projected onto the central table, and by incorporating interactive, shimmering ripples and reacting ripples, we aimed to further emphasize its identity, creating a captivating experience as if one had stepped inside the bottle.

【Project Overview】 The project is underway for completion in the spring of 2019, and the commercial facility "Green Blue" at the domestic passenger terminal at Fukuoka Airport is underway. As the entire airport is being redeveloped under the park concept, we are in charge of environmental planning for the commercial zone. It aims to be like a park where tourists and people from the city can gather. This time, I was in charge of the design and construction of the food hall, which was the centerpiece of the early opening. 【Challenges/Themes】 ■ concept design Concept "Captain's Base" "Captain's Private Base Flying Around the World" Based on this concept, we took a lot of inspiration from maintenance yards and airplanes and deployed them in concept design zones and details. By adding a story, we deepened the charm of the space. ■The best trip starts from the best "If the waiting time is fun, the trip will be even more wonderful." Based on this idea, in order to provide guests with a way to spend their waiting time according to their goals, we have set up a unique seating space for each zone, and scattered concept design with a playful spirit. Solution: The north zone near the boarding gate has a high counter zone where you can easily drink a drink and board immediately. In the south zone, we displays airplane parts to create a museum-like space. Plan to spend time touching airplane equipment that you can't usually see. In addition, the central hall seats are equipped with original lighting inspired by the truss structure of the maintenance yard. It has random movements and creates a fun buzz. The space in the back is inspired by the captain's study. I draw a memo writing on the blackboard on the ceiling that expresses my thoughts on becoming a pilot.

[Project Introduction] We have created a projection mapping project themed on "The Four Seasons of Hida Takayama" to commemorate the "80th Anniversary of Takayama City's Establishment" and the "140th Anniversary of the Merger of Hida and Mino Provinces," set against the backdrop of the "National Historic Site Takayama Jinya." The Takayama Jinya was the administrative center of Hida after it became a direct territory of the shogunate during the Edo period. Of the more than 60 magistrate's offices said to have existed throughout Japan during the late Edo period, the Takayama Jinya is the only one whose original building remains. It was designated a National Historic Site in 1929. This time, we will be holding the "Hidashin Projection Mapping" themed on "The Four Seasons of Hida Takayama" for a limited time in the large hall (a room built in the Shoin style) inside the Takayama Jinya. Our company assisted with the research, planning, concept design, exhibit execution, interior execution, and website creation.
