"Deus Ex Machina Asakusa", which opened in Tokyo Mizumachi West Zone, is a lifestyle shop based on Australian surf and bike culture. As small as an espresso, the shop is packed with a variety of things, and is located on a riverside away from the hustle and bustle of the city.It has many different roles: a comfortable cafe, an apparel shop, and an art gallery. Higashi Tokyo's first store in Asakusa will serve coffee brewed by famous baristas and Deus Chef's original food that can only be tasted here. Our company assisted with consulting and leasing.

A new area connecting "Asakusa" and "Tokyo Skytree Town®" has been born. "Tokyo Mizumachi®" is a commercial complex under elevated railway tracks created in collaboration between Tobu Railway Co., Ltd. and Sumida Ward. Based on the concept of "Live to Trip - people, regions, and cultures come and go, spend your time as if you were traveling, and travel as if you lived there", we have developed a road-based project that includes supporting players who are rooted in East Tokyo and players who want to have a base in East Tokyo. By developing a town called "Tokyo Mizumachi®" as a collection of small individualities centered on players, it will be linked with Asakusa and Tokyo Sky Tree, and will be a fusion of [community-based x tourism leisure consumption] as a tourist spot in this area. We aimed for

LINE Corporation (now LINE Yahoo!), which develops and deploys a wide variety of IT services, relocated Head Office to a new office in Yotsuya to accommodate the increase in employees due to business expansion and to further improve operational efficiency. This was a large-scale project consisting of 10 floors. Based on the company's common concept design concept, "A space that creates WOW," the 23rd floor features a reception and cafe space, while the top floor (30th floor) houses a mobile space where LINERs (employees) can freely rearrange meeting rooms. Functional concept design were also incorporated into the work areas, creating a comfortable workplace. We were responsible for all aspects of the 21,435.20 m² (approximately 6,500 tsubo) total floor area, including stacking, layout, interiors concept design, architectural design, and equipment planning. We also manufactured custom-made furniture during construction.

This project involves the rebuilding of the new office building for Usufuku Honten, a company that was damaged in the Great East Japan Earthquake. Usufuku Honten is a fishing company with a history of over 130 years, founded in 1882. With the philosophy of "living in harmony with the sea," they operate in deep-sea tuna fishing and tuna longline fishing, playing a role in the reconstruction of Kesennuma and Tohoku. For the exterior concept design, they have reproduced the copper plates used on the exterior walls of the old main building, which were washed away by the tsunami, and created a new copper scale wall. Over time, the copper plates will change in texture and color to resemble those of the old main building. In addition, elements of tuna fishing boats have been extracted and incorporated into the architecture, such as curved windows and railings. Our company's concept design responsibilities included the exterior concept design, the first-floor entrance, the second-floor office, and the president's office and reception room on the third floor.

Located near Shijo Omiya in Kyoto, this project renovated an entire alley lined with townhouses built over 110 years ago into an inn. Passing through the reception building, you will find 23 guest rooms, a warehouse, and a restaurant building lined up along the stone-paved alley, creating a gorgeous view reminiscent of the entertainment district of the Edo period. There are five types of guest rooms, all themed on the natural beauty of Kyoto, allowing you to experience the charm of the region in both tangible and intangible culture. The restaurant building in the center of the alley houses a Japanese beef restaurant, making it a unique space that promotes Japanese culture, including food, to the world. The site is approximately 1,400 m2 and includes 26 wooden buildings, making this the largest renovation project in Kyoto's history, attracting attention from Kyoto City.

In real estate consultations, the most important thing is to understand and envision the future that the client envisions. Meeting rooms play a crucial role in this, and recognizing that they occupy most of the store's floor space, we considered how each room could be incorporated as a concept design element. By transforming each room into a cube shape and scattering them around, and by adding elements that allow glimpses of the interior, we created an efficient space that maintains a sense of privacy while easing the tension of visitors.

This project involves "MID POINT Musashi Kosugi" (Nakahara-ku, Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture), newly established in July 2020 by Cosmos Initia Co., Ltd., a member of the Daiwa House Group, as the third installment of their "MID POINT" rental office concept that realizes "living and working in close proximity." Our company was in charge of concept design, schematic design, working drawings, and construction. Located in "Kosugi 3rd Avenue," a multi-purpose complex just a 2-minute walk from Musashi Kosugi Station, it boasts an excellent location for both work and business meetings. In addition to the traditional workspace, the lounge also includes a kitchen equipped with tableware and cooking utensils, making it a space that can be used not only for purely business purposes but also for events held by contract holders. Furthermore, a cafe is attached, which is open to the community and can be used by people who do not have a contract with MID POINT. Our company also handled the following stores.・MID POINT Omori (Opened February 2022) ・MID POINT Shibuya Shinsen (Opened December 2021) ・MID POINT Kawasaki (Opened April 2021) ・MID POINT Meguro Fudomae (Opened November 2018) [Social Issues / Customer Issues / Requests] The request was to secure sufficient office space and rooms while also having a cafe on the first floor and a lounge space that is easy for contract holders to use. [Solution] By consolidating the kitchen and water facilities in the center of the first floor, we increased space efficiency while zoning to secure the maximum number of seats for the cafe and lounge. In addition, by making the kitchen a counter kitchen, concept design separates the cafe and office space while allowing the entire space to be seen. [Customer Feedback] As the third MID POINT location, they upgraded the existing location while also achieving an excellent balance in incorporating a cafe, which was a new initiative. Furthermore, despite the challenging floor plan, they adjusted the layout to ensure a comfortable living space while securing rental income. <Our Project Members> ・MID POINT Musashi-Kosugi [Sales/Project Management] Shima Keita [design, layout] Ni'i Hiroyuki, Miyane Sayaka [Production and construction] Hirano Kentaro [Planning and Operational Advice] Suzuki Saeko, Nomura Naoki ・MID POINT Omori [Sales/Project Management] Kobori Takashi, Shima Keita, Ichikura Mizuki [Planning] Sugimoto Taku [concept design Direction] Kashiwase Hisako, Eto Sayaka ・MID POINT Shibuya-Shinsen [Sales/Project Management] Kobori Takashi, Shima Keita, Ichikura Mizuki [Planning] Sugimoto Taku

Founded in 1965 by Dr. Yutaka Nakamura, known as the father of sports for people with disabilities in Japan, Taiyo no Ie is a facility that supports the independence of people with disabilities through life, work and sports, with the philosophy of "No Charity, but a Chance". Looking back on the founder, Dr. Yutaka Nakamura, the history of welfare for people with disabilities in Japan and Taiyo no Ie, the legacy of the 1964 Tokyo Paralympic Games and the history of sports for people with disabilities, the establishment of the Taiyo Museum was planned as a place where people with physical, intellectual, mental and developmental disabilities who still find it difficult to live can have dreams and hopes. The concept of this museum is "learn," "experience," and "be moved," and visitors can view materials and archives, see tools that support the lives of people with disabilities, and experience sports for people with disabilities. The Taiyo Museum is also a place for local exchange and a base for continuing to disseminate information toward a society of coexistence in the future. We want people to discover their own potential and create a society where everyone can live as they are. We aim to expand the circle of activities toward the realization of a truly symbiotic society from Beppu to Japan and overseas.

HIRODEN etto, a tourist and commercial facility operated by the Hiroshima Electric Railway Group, opened in April 2020 on land adjacent to the Miyajimaguchi Passenger Terminal, which began operations in February 2020 as part of the Miyajimaguchi Port Development Project promoted by Hiroshima Prefecture. Based on the concept of "DISCOVER MIYAJIMAGUCHI," it consists of 16 stores, mainly companies Head Office in Hiroshima Prefecture. It offers the enjoyment of both everyday (local) and extraordinary (tourism) experiences with a Hiroshima-like touch, and as a facility where visitors can experience "fun, delicious, and a new Hiroshima," it is disseminating the charm of Hiroshima to tourists and local residents alike through connections with them. [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] As a measure to alleviate chronic congestion on National Route 2, which is also a route used by local residents, a plan for a new urban planning road has emerged. Accordingly, it has been decided to redevelop the aging passenger terminal through the expansion of reclaimed land, and to relocate the Hiroshima Electric Railway Group's directly managed tourist and souvenir facility and the Hiroden Miyajimaguchi Station building/tracks. We received a request to create a medium- to long-term phased development scenario and propose a suitable proposal for the new facilities that the Hiroshima Electric Railway Group will construct adjacent to the passenger terminal, in a way that would serve as a prologue and epilogue to the Miyajima pilgrimage. [Solution] We believe it is important to build a development strategy from a regional branding perspective to give "Miyajimaguchi," which has always been merely a transit point to Miyajima, a sense of "place." This includes: - Naming and VI plan (*) to give a new identity to the colorless Miyajimaguchi - Leasing that resembles a journey to find investors for the future of Hiroshima/Miyajimaguchi - Lighting plan that evokes the surface of the Seto Inland Sea and the active use of wood that evokes Hatsukaichi, a town known for its timber, etc. We approached the creation of a place and space that would add flair to the "first phase of the Miyajimaguchi town opening" from both a soft and hard perspective. As a result, we are creating new employment opportunities by providing a new place of business, mainly for businesses within the prefecture, and contributing to the economic cycle within the prefecture. Furthermore, as a model case of regional revitalization through private sector participation in government-led redevelopment projects, it embodied the Hiroshima Electric Railway Group's management vision of "connecting people and opening up an attractive future for the region," fostering expectations for subsequent developments. (*VI: Abbreviation for Visual Identity. Refers to the design of the logo or symbol mark.) [Customer Feedback] Thanks to the tremendous cooperation we received from both the soft and hard aspects, from the conceptual planning stage to the concrete facility plan, we were able to create a facility that matched our concept. We hope that it will grow into a facility befitting the prologue and epilogue of a pilgrimage to Miyajima. <Our Project Members> [Sales/Project Management] Ichiro Morimoto [Consulting/Planning/Soft Direction] Mayumi Tenma [Leasing] Takaaki Hiraki, Eri Morita [design, layout] Kazumi Doi, Yukari Ozaki [Production/ construction] Katsunori Sugino [Pre-Interior Supervision/ furniture and fixture manufacturing] Toshimichi Suzuki [Branding] Yuri Watamoto [Opening Promotion/PR] Daisuke Karube, Hikaru Oura ~Related Links~ [Announcement] ・Announcement of winning the Silver Award and other awards at the 54th Japan Sign concept design Awards

This project involved creating a customer touchpoint space in conjunction with the relocation of Fujifilm Business Innovation Japan (formerly Fuji Xerox) to its new headquarters. Our company was responsible for the planning, design, layout of "Bridge for Innovation," an experiential showroom located on the 17th floor of the Toyosu Bayside Cross Tower, where the new office will be situated. This project required a showroom that could identify directions for solving customer challenges and lead them to success, while simultaneously considering the future of the workplace. Our answer was "Agility of Variable Space." In the solution experience area, no fixed walls were erected, and the space was composed entirely of highly agile movable furniture, thoroughly pursuing a variable and movable space. [Social Challenges/Customer Challenges/Requests] It was necessary to enable flexible operation so that furniture layouts could be quickly arranged to match the business strategy. [Solution] To accommodate a style of operation that involves daily updates of diverse booth configurations tailored to product characteristics and customer characteristics, seven types of movable furniture were planned. Partitions that completely block the line of sight, partitions that allow only half of the view to pass through, and overlapping partitions that create even more variations in transparency are all incorporated. Furthermore, by not constructing fixed walls and instead using different colors for the floor and ceiling to make the boundaries of the space more noticeable, natural zoning is made possible. Flexible infrastructure such as power supplies is also installed under the floor, making it easy to change the function in the future. The thorough pursuit of variable and movable space was also a challenge to organically control the function of space without building walls. <Our Project Members> [Sales/Project Management] Natsuko Murakami, Shioto Kawashima [Planning] Keita Kobayashi [design, layout] Ryo Onishi, Nobuaki Saka, Yoriko Uemura [Manufacturing/ construction] Shunsaku Kimura, Riku Murata

This is an experiential food park focused on green tea, agriculture, and tourism. It is the largest market in the prefecture, comprising a market, restaurants, cafes, a kids' park, and tenant shops. The project was carried out as a collaborative project between four parties: Oigawa Agricultural Cooperative, Shimada City, Oigawa Railway, and Central Nippon Expressway Co., Ltd., with the aim of improving the income of local farmers and creating a hub for local tourism. Our company handled everything from the basic and implementation plans to design, layout construction, and tenant leasing. Furthermore, under the production of Tokonatsu Infantry Group, we established a design joint venture with our company as the lead company and played a central role in driving operations until the opening. [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] [Agricultural Promotion] and [Regional Development] are the keywords. This region is one of Japan's leading green tea producing areas, and while the tea farmers have absolute confidence in the quality of their tea, they faced the challenge of not knowing how to highlight its value and market it in the face of declining green tea consumption. Furthermore, despite the Oigawa Railway's steam locomotives and the abundant tourist resources of the Oigawa River basin, there was a challenge in that the area was not attracting tourists as much as it could have liked. Therefore, one of the objectives was to create a hub that would serve as a tourist base for the region. We tackled the challenges of creating a place where local farmers could sell their products with confidence by attractively promoting local specialties, and a place where local people could recognize and be proud of the charm of their hometown. [Solutions] 1. Be loved by the local community. 2. Make use of local resources. 3. Communicate in an easy-to-understand way We conveyed the idea that what is "taken for granted" by the local community and farmers is actually very valuable and attractive to people from other regions. By adding entertainment and concept design elements to create a unique experience, we added value and crafted attractive products and services. The new Oigawa Railway station has also opened, and the complex commercial facility, which was the first of its kind in the region, has become a big topic of conversation and is bustling with many customers every day. <Our Project Members> [Sales] Aya Nishimoto, Keisuke Iwasa [Planning] Ryusuke Nomura [design, layout] Noriaki Tamura, Kan Fujimura, Midori Arai [Production/ construction] Miyuki Nakamura, Yuki Saiki, Akihiro Yoshida, Hiroshi Udagawa, Hayato Kawatani [Leasing] Aya Nishimoto

Aisin AW's history of developing Japan's first purely domestic automatic transmission and car navigation systems, as well as the passion and technology of our predecessors who rose to the top of the world, will be handed down to young employees and stakeholders. In the main space, we developed six stories using MANGA expressions favored by young people and symbolic scenes in order to convey the hardships of the company from imitating Europe and America to building its own technology through fumbling, in a way that brings us closer to the perspective of employees at the time. We created a displays that encourages people to empathize with each other in a way that is as easy as reading Manga, and that lets them feel the passion of their predecessors. In addition, we intentionally utilized a 40 year-old building that still retains the breath of life of the employees of that time. We retained parts of the building as stage equipment for displays, and created opportunities for dialogue among employees and customers by using AT pallets and grating materials actually used in the factory as fixtures and stages. In the old conference room area, small rooms are connected to create a large, long and narrow space, and the entire space is used as a timeline to introduce the transition of product technology. The AT pallet, which AW has used to deliver its products to the world, was used to create a stage that employees can feel both familiar with and proud of. This space is a huge AW chronology where you can intuitively feel at a glance the greatness of AW's technology, which continues to make the world's first and best products. < our company Project Members > [Creative Direction] LHC: Mitsuhide Yoshinaga [design, layout] LHC: Yuzo Kosaka, Yushi Tanaka, Akihiro Murayama [Shaping] Kenichi Kishikawa [Sales/Project Management] Takuya Fujioka, Yukari Tange [Production/construction] Hayao Ito

The new attraction area "Godzilla Interception Operation ~National Godzilla Awaji Island Research Center~" at the Hyogo Prefectural Awaji Island Park Anime Park "Nijigen no Mori" is the world's only entertainment attraction that truly allows visitors to experience the immense power and intensity of the world's largest, life-sized Godzilla, approximately 120m in length, that landed on Awaji Island*. Our company was in charge of planning, direction, concept design, and sculpting supervision. Participants become members of the National Godzilla Awaji Island Research Center and take on missions such as a thrilling "zipline" that takes them into the body through the mouth of the life-sized Godzilla, and a "shooting game" to annihilate Godzilla cells scattered around. *This is a recreation of the 118.5m long Godzilla that appeared in the movie "Shin Godzilla" (2016), with its upper body, right arm, and tail protruding from the ground. The visible portion of the structure measures approximately 52.6m in length, 25.4m in width, and 23m in height. The attraction area covers approximately 5,000m². [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] This will be Nijigen no Mori's largest project to date, offering a life-sized Godzilla experience. As the overall producer of this project, the challenge for both Toho Co., Ltd., the copyright holder, and Nijigen no Mori Co., Ltd., the operator, was how to provide the highest level of planning, experience, and production quality to create an attraction that the world can be proud of. [Solution] First, we deepened our knowledge of content that has been loved around the world for many years, and combined that with the unique location within Awaji Island Prefectural Park to create a planned experience that would attract visitors not only from Japan but from all over the world. In addition, in supervising the production, we visited overseas factories and directly advised them with the know-how and knowledge we have cultivated, guiding them to final completion. [Customer Feedback] You have planned a highly original attraction that will attract attention from all over the world, where you can jump into a life-sized Godzilla. Furthermore, the production team provided meticulous direction down to the smallest detail, resulting in a product that would satisfy everyone from families to core fans. <Our Project Members> [Sales & Project Management] Shingo Terasaki, Shohei Baba [Planning & Direction, concept design & Sculpting Supervision] Masaki Kawahara, Yasuyuki Chosa, Yuki Toyoda TM & © TOHO CO., LTD.
