Works#2021

This project reopened the south side zone on the first floor of the main building of S-PAL Koriyama, adjacent to JR Koriyama Station. Numerous shops have been opened to increase the mobility of daily use, meet the diverse needs of customers, and coordinate lifestyles. The proposed environmental design concept is [RAMBLING STATION TOWN]. The theme is "an urban shopping center where people gather at the station and spend a comfortable time, just like enjoying a stroll around town," and the whole area is wrapped in a fashionable and gentle atmosphere. Specifically, the facility facade is equipped with a "rhythm line border" with indirect light, which is reminiscent of Koriyama City, Fukushima Prefecture, a "music city" with a lot of musical activity. It is deployed to envelop the station concourse, creating a new patio for people walking around the city and S-PAL Koriyama. In addition, a folded ceiling made of wood and white rhythm lines with a "music score" concept design element is placed in conjunction with the Nakajima tenant environment. The rhythmic guidance draws people to the back of the facility. As an urban shopping center, S-PAL Koriyama aims to be a place that is supported by customers of all ages. [Social issues / Customer issues / Requests] - As the project was being promoted at the same time as the COVID-19 pandemic in the fall of 2020, the way in which commercial activities were conducted was questioned. - Due to the earthquake in the spring of 2021, a safe design was strongly required. - Upcycling of the environment was required to use the existing lease lines without changing the main flow of traffic. [Solution] Although the circulation lines are existing, the floor material has been renewed to a cobblestone style, and wooden materials that connect the entire facility have been incorporated in some areas to create a street where people can enjoy strolling around the city. In the atrium environment that serves as the axis of vertical circulation in the facility, a "rhythmic line gate" reminiscent of the "music city" has been added to the existing design, and the new center court has been renovated as a concept design symbol for the entire facility, providing visitors with a natural and symbolic park environment that combines "things x events x time". We have created a new stage for people walking around the city and S-PAL Koriyama. <Our project members> [Planners] Hiroko Okazaki, Yuri Watamoto [Sales and project management] Hiroyuki Uesugi [design, layout] Kenichi Suzuki, Makio Miura [Production and construction] Johei Saito

The area around Tokyo Station is a city with many different aspects, where history, the future, and culture coexist. In the area, the year-end light event has become an annual winter tradition since the Tokyo Millenario in 1999. In 2021, which has been marked by many hardships, we have created a theme of "scenery at dawn" by painting the Marunouchi Building of Tokyo Station, the Marunouchi Central Plaza of Tokyo Station, and Gyoko-dori Street with gentle light, allowing visitors to feel the dawn of a new era. [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] We received a request to send a positive message to society and reduce carbon dioxide emissions through a special light-up of the Marunouchi Building of Tokyo Station, a historic building that can be said to be the face of Tokyo. [Solution] We created a color light-up with colors that evoke the "sky at dawn" from the Marunouchi Building of Tokyo Station to the station square and Gyoko-dori Street. For the lighting effects on the trees, we chose to use rental lighting equipment rather than string illumination, as this method would minimize industrial waste, have less impact on the growth of the trees, and reduce costs. <Our project members> [Sales/Project Management] Ken Kumagai [Planning/ concept design /Direction] CIC: Ryuji Tsuyama [Product Direction] Ken Kobayashi, Takahiro Chiba

A proposal competition was held for the complete renewal of SEPPAL SENDAI II in June 2020, 13 years after its opening in 2008, and we were selected. The environmental design concept we proposed for the renewal is [MORI TERRACE], to refine Tohoku's highest level of sensitivity and to transform it into a new select store zone that offers proposals that are one step ahead of customers' lifestyles. Under the themes of "cozier than anywhere else" and "inspiration for everyday life," the entire space was composed based on organic lines and earth colors, enveloping the entire area in a mode and gentle atmosphere. Specifically, "big awnings and greenery" were deployed in the exterior plaza to create a new nexus between the facility and the people on the street. In addition, a light court on the ceiling, which is an element of "sunlight filtering through the trees" (concept design), is placed inside the facility in conjunction with the corridor environment, drawing people to the back of the facility through the sunlight. The light court is linked to the passageway environment, leading people to the back of the facility through the trees. The building aims to be a place where customers of all ages with next-generation values can feel "relaxation and a sense of fun" with a sophisticated sensitivity. The project started in August 2020, when the Corona Disaster was to be promoted, and it was a development project that was questioned as to how to attract customers to commercial facilities. While negotiations with tenants were difficult, 90% of the main traffic lines were to be used by existing lines, and an upcycling of the environment was required. In addition to attracting customers, the project was also required to create a "new nexus between people on the street and S-PAR Sendai," and to attract and spread people further into the facility. SOLUTION: We installed "the most comfortable big awning and greenery" and "LED vision that provides inspiration for daily life" in the external plaza as a nodal point for people on the street, and as an information transmission plaza for this facility located at the northernmost point of S-PAR Sendai, we are providing information about events and tenants to the people on the street. It is a plaza that transmits information about events and tenants to people on the street. The LED Vision is a plaza that transmits information about events and tenants to the people of the city, as a plaza that transmits information about the facility at the northernmost point of the facility. The goal was to create a place where people could "feel, touch, and communicate" from a passing facility. ＜Our project members＞ [Sales and project management] Hiroyuki Uesugi [Planning] Chihiro Watakai, Mayu Nakamura [design, layout] Kenichi Suzuki [Structural design] Taizo Komatsu [Production, construction] Tatsuo Sato

Careritz & Partners Co., Ltd. is a company that is growing rapidly in the nursing care business, mainly in home care services, by utilizing IT technology. We concept design the entrance and meeting room, which will be the face of the company, when the company expanded its head office from the 8th floor to the 15th floor of Shinjuku Miraina Tower. [Social Issues / Customer Issues / Requests] Since many job interviews are held, the company wanted a space where job seekers could relax during the interview and an entrance that would give a sense of the company's growth. [Solution] Since the corporate color is green, live plants were placed in a lattice, and the plants eventually grew and grew out of the frame, representing "growth without being bound by frames." In addition, by dividing the meeting room with a glass partition, a sense of spaciousness was created, and an open space that makes use of the borrowed scenery was realized. Since the color green has a visually relaxing effect, the floor of the meeting room is covered with wood and green carpet. In addition, in response to the increase in online meetings, we have prepared a telecon booth for 1 to 2 people and a meeting room that can seat from 4 to a maximum of 20 people so that it can be used according to the number of people in the meeting. Since many training sessions are held within the company, the entrance for visitors and employees taking training sessions was separated to allow for easy access. <Our project members> [Development] Okawa Nobutoshi [Sales/Project Management] Mukuo Ai [design, layout] Shimizu Shigemi, Koga Sayaka, Hagiwara Mitsutaka [Production construction] Shimizu Kota, Odajima Keita

This is a concept shop of "Okomeburan" by Shinmei Group, one of the largest long-established rice wholesalers in Japan. Okomeburan is a rice bran specialty store brand with the vision of "organizing your daily life." This store aims to be a new urban store consisting of three spaces: "FACTORY SHOP," "EAT IN CAFÉ," and "KITCHEN LAB." All of Okomeburan's products are made with the utmost care from the manufacturing process to the transportation process. In order to maximize the appeal of the products, we devised a "FACTORY SHOP" that adds displays function to the conventional sales and cafe functions. We added an displays function that clearly conveys the manufacturing process, and a function that allows you to touch and learn about brown rice, rice husks, white rice, rice bran, and the scenery of the production area for each brand. In addition, we have concept design a "KITCHEN LAB" that visualizes the kitchen and office, and will hold workshops, as well as a space that will convey the product development process that you cannot usually see. Our company has been involved in Okome Buran since its first store (Lucua Osaka), which opened in February 2021, and in addition to designing and construction the stores, we have been providing general support, including rebranding to set the brand name and vision, and supervising logo and packaging concept design, as well as product and cafe menu development.

This project was carried out based on the machine tools collected and used by Sankyo Seisakusho, with the goal of cultural preservation and educational use, while leaving them as a valuable asset for the next generation. It will be the best machine tool displays space in Japan, with a number of historical machine tools that embody modern industrial history. You can deepen your understanding of the changes and achievements of machine tools, which are the forerunners of the era and bring about industrial transformation, by system and era, and you can actually touch the machines and mechanisms, making new discoveries and learning. In addition, lighting is used to symbolize the machine tools, which are the core of displays. We participated from the research stage, and under the supervision of the supervisor, we were in charge of space concept design, lighting concept design, graphic concept design, and production and construction. [Customer feedback] The graphic concept design, color scheme, and especially the lighting were well balanced, creating an antique atmosphere. <Our project members> [Sales] Takanori Tsujii [Research] Shuta Fukahori, Takanori Tsujii [design, layout] Shuta Fukahori [Production and construction] Kazuo Maeda, Yurina Nishizono

This is a new tourist information center built in the public passageway of JR Kokura Station, the gateway to Kitakyushu City. In order to improve the satisfaction of tourists, including foreign tourists, who will continue to increase in number, and to promote sightseeing around the city, the existing information center, which was built about 15 years ago, was closed and moved to a new location within the same station premises and expanded. [Social issues / Customer issues / Requests] The requests included creating a space that is easy for travelers to use and comfortable, preparing the hardware and software of a digital signage system with updateable content so that travelers themselves can search for tourist information, setting up a facility that takes into consideration the installation of foreign currency exchange machines and other equipment for foreign travelers, and creating an information center that meets the highest standard of "Category 3" *2 certified by JNTO (Japan National Tourism Organization) *1. [Solution] In addition to meeting the above requests, we proposed a plan with the goal of creating an information center that can be used even in the with-COVID era. Based on the concept of "Kyushu's gateway where you can experience Japan," we proposed a design that expresses the advanced spirit of Kitakyushu, a mecca for manufacturing, while also incorporating the traditional concept design of the castle town of Kokura, and carefully selected interiors materials to maintain a safe and clean concept design. The proposed functions include a non-contact face-to-face system using monitors, a system that allows travelers to upload and publish travel information using SNS, and an arrangement in which the entire glass surface of the exterior wall becomes a signage that promotes the attractions of Kitakyushu at night, and these were all adopted. The innovative concept design is unified with Kitakyushu's signature design and a clean white color, and the entire glass wall creates a bright, open, and welcoming atmosphere. While the concept design blends in with the modern station premises with a gray base, it also asserts itself as an information center by incorporating concept design inspired by Kokura weaving and elements of bustle. At JR Kokura Station, the gateway to Kitakyushu, the concept design is symbolic of the city, conveying the charm of Kitakyushu to customers both in and out of Japan and raising expectations for the trip. [Customer feedback] concept design reflected the space that the city wanted to create as a tourist information center, based on the services to be provided, and they created a tourist information center worthy of being the "gateway to Kitakyushu City." Despite the constraints of being located inside a station, they were able to solve many issues with their rich imagination and high technical skills. We hope that this facility will be used by more tourists visiting the city than ever before. *1. About the JNTO-certified foreign tourist information center certification system: JNTO has been operating a foreign tourist information center certification system since fiscal 2012, based on the "Guidelines for the establishment and operation of foreign tourist information centers (established in January 2012, revised in April 2018)" established by the Japan Tourism Agency. This certification system certifies information centers into three categories and partner facilities based on location, functions, etc. The certification is renewed every three years, and by providing support services such as interpretation services and training sessions by JNTO, we aim to enhance the functions and quality of JNTO-certified foreign tourist information centers nationwide. *2. The highest standard, "Category 3," means: English support is available at all times. Additionally, there is a system in place that allows guidance to be provided in two or more languages other than English at all times. National-level tourist information is provided. Open all year round in principle. Wi-Fi is available. Located in a gateway or location with many foreign visitors. <From the Japan National Tourism Organization website> <Our project members> [Development] Soeda Satoru [Sales and project management] Soeda Satoru [Planning, design, layout] Nishimura Chieri [Production and construction] Hijikuro Kazuya

As a hotel that introduces "Kyoto Toji Temple" in an easy-to-understand manner that cannot be fully enjoyed in a one-time sightseeing trip, the little-known Buddha statue mandala is illustrated, and you can walk around the city freely opening and closing while comparing the old and the modern. In the lobby, we installed a map, a large table where you can copy sutras with sand, and a wall artwork of Buddha smiling with a motion sensor. In addition, the full-size pillar with a motif of a five-storied pagoda was used as a bookshelf to impart wisdom because the actual central pillar itself is a mandala.

After extensive research by a former professional soccer player (Tim Brown) and a biotechnology expert (Joey Zwillinger), Allbirds successfully developed innovative and sustainable shoes using natural materials such as merino wool, eucalyptus, and sugar cane, and the lifestyle brand Allbirds was born. Founded in San Francisco in 2016, Allbirds landed in Japan in 2020, and following the Harajuku store, its second store in Japan, the Marunouchi store, opened in June 2021. We supported Allbirds from the design stage as their local architect. By obtaining a plot for two stores, the wide glass facade allows sunlight in and the inside of the store can be seen from Marunouchi Nakadori, making it easy for customers to enter and creating a bright and open space. There are two entrances, a unique door handle in the shape of a large wooden foot, and a lineup of T-shirts, loungewear, and performancewear made from natural materials in the center of the store. The shoes are displayed by type according to material and function, and the interior is simple yet playful, with cloud-shaped mirrors on the floor and walls, and solid wood chairs that tilt to make it easier to try on the shoes. [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] The client requested that they faithfully create the world view of a global brand with about 35 stores around the world, communicate closely with the person in charge in San Francisco, the home country, and handle all work from schematic design stage to completion as a single company. [Solution] We provided comprehensive management, including resolving legal issues related to the design, negotiating with developers, procuring materials, working drawings, construction and schedule/cost management, and coordinating the import of audio and video systems and fixtures. In order to meet Allbirds' request to send out a message from Japan to the world in the future, we are paying tribute to their concept design philosophy of "sustainability" that respects nature and the environment, and considering interiors materials and spatial configurations that correspond to this for future store openings. <Our project members> [Sales/Project Management] Yoshiki Yamada [Design] Yoko Kurose [Production/ construction] Shuhei Tatsuda [Coordination] Atsuko Shimura

This facility was newly opened in Ginza, Tokyo in April 2021 as a base for "agile development," in which Tokio Marine Group repeatedly verifies and improves in a short period of time. It is a workplace that brings together engineers and designers from Tokio Marine & Nichido Systems to promote the development of insurance and services using digital technology. The facility is a renovated four floors of an existing building, and the first floor is an entrance gallery with a user interview room. The third and fourth floors are office spaces occupied by Tokio Marine & Nichido Systems. The fifth floor is configured as a coworking space that promotes co-creation both inside and outside the company, and is concept design with the concept of a "creative social space," a communication-centered space where a chain of creative activities is born, rather than an office as a place to work. The message of Tokio Marine Group that "insurance is born from adventure and exists to support people's challenges" is the axis of the entire facility, and materials and artworks are selected with the themes of ① adventure, ② challenge, and ③ diversity, and we aim to concept design the space to exude an attitude of challenging anything without fear of failure. We hope that this facility, named G/D Lab., will be a place to accelerate the fusion of insurance and digital, and to support new adventures for the future. [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] The client used the keyword "diversity" to express the concept of a "creative social space" where various talents gather, so the goal was to design an environment that would allow anyone to work comfortably and with flexibility in mind. [Solution] From the perspective of creating a comfortable environment, the lighting plan for the office area incorporates the concept of circadian rhythm and uses fixtures that can be set by timers to change color temperature and illuminance from morning to evening. In addition, most of the fixtures are movable, allowing for flexible response to various working styles. Some of the fixture materials are made of recycled boards called "Kami-Pori Boards" made from upcycled waste paper and waste plastic, making the design environmentally friendly. <Our project members> [Sales and project management] Yasuhiro Urashima [Planning] Ryusuke Nomura, Yuuga Okamoto [design, layout] Manabu Yamanobe, Shunta Nakamura, Shunsuke Ami [Production and construction] Kentaro Hirano, Katsumi Chikada, Kazuki Misawa

Kids Garden Minami Aoyama is a 4 minute walk from Gaienmae Station, with a private indoor heated swimming pool and a 2,200m2 facility for children aged 1 to 9 years old. It is one of the largest facilities in Tokyo that integrates early childhood education and school children. Based on a program that nurtures and develops the abilities needed at each age from infancy to childhood, when brain development is most active, experienced and professional lecturers have developed an original early childhood education program in collaboration with Montessori and Shinbukai, and gymnastics and swimming programs supervised by special teams that support Olympians and top athletes. This facility is a place where you can meet a wide variety of educational programs from Japan and overseas, and the location of Aoyama is a place where various values, races and cultures come and go. Based on the characteristics of its facilities and location, we have chosen "CROSS" as our keyword and incorporated intersections into concept design as symbolic motifs. In addition, to represent CROSS, it incorporates Japanese and Western interwoven taste. The Japanese elements, in particular, reflect the owner's desire to "In this globalized world, I hope that our children will continue to carry on their Japanese strengths and identity as adults." and create a space where children can naturally come in contact with Japanese culture. By using all of our company's know-how accumulated in a number of nurseries at construction, we have created a space that is both safe and aesthetically pleasing. [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Request] As a new private facility for child-rearing support, there was a request that the theme of the facility be "Japanization" in order to ensure both safety and design, and to anticipate foreign nationals as well as visitors due to its location. [Solution] As an essence of Japanese culture, Noren, traditional patterns, and traditional Japanese colors were incorporated into concept design Space to create opportunities for daily exposure to Japanese culture. In order to contribute to child-rearing support, we conducted a distinctive concept design based on the concept of "Japanization" in order to differentiate ourselves from concept design space, which is a general and average facility for children, and created a contact point for Japanization from childhood. [Customer's Voice] This is our company's largest facility ever, but I think we were able to express the high quality concept design and the unified concept. We were able to proceed with the opening of the facility without any problems due to the flexible corrective action and compliance with the construction schedule. < our company Project Members > 【 Sales/Project Management 】 Kazuya Takada 【 design, layout 】 Mari Matsumoto, Ayako Hiruta 【 Signing/Graphic Design 】 Ayako Hiruta, Aki Haga 【 Production/construction 】 Ken Kogure, Takehiro Ichijo

"CHOOSEBASE SHIBUYA" is the first media-type OMO store (※) opened by Sogo & Seibu Co., Ltd. in a department store format. The first floor of the parking building at Seibu Shibuya has been fully renovated, and the aim is to create a new retail business through collaboration with D2C brands that are popular with millennials and Gen Z. Customers who visit the store can enjoy a new shopping experience that combines online and offline in an immersive space on their smartphones. This time, an EC site will be opened at the same time as the real store, and new shopping services will be proposed, including a sales format where products purchased online can be picked up in the store. Using cutting-edge technology such as AI cameras, data that can be used for test marketing, product planning, and service improvement is also provided to store owners. *OMO store = a store format in which customer, product, and inventory information is unified between the store and EC This is a new business that was launched from the idea that creating a place where a new generation of customers can meet new brands is the new way of department stores. While it is a media-type OMO store that utilizes the latest technology to amplify the editing power unique to department stores with the power of technology, we aimed to create a world view with a margin based on the keyword "editing" unique to department stores, so that it can be a place where you can experience a human way of consumption that is not too dependent on technology. The entire store is composed of two thick lines crossing each other, and by slightly tapering from each entrance toward the crossroads, the sense of immersion is strengthened. Four areas called "BASE" are adjacent to the crossroads, and each area is given its own material personality within a common world view. Taking advantage of the existing characteristics of a semi-basement with a low ceiling, the blue painted floor, which is deliberately devoid of warmth, is an assortment of colors that give a sense of "slight discomfort" and a hint of the future in the world of a monochromatic color with no saturation. The two corridors are drawn with organically curved lines of light that draw you deeper, and the tin panels with a silver to blue gradation are reminiscent of a blue moment, providing a special experience while creating a mischievousness unique to the location.

Sumitomo Life's "Vitality" is a product that combines a system of variable premiums and rewards to support customers in taking and continuing to take part in health promotion activities. In order to allow more customers to experience its advanced nature and value, we have opened walk-in stores. We were also in charge of the following stores. ・Sumitomo Life's "Vitality" Plaza Yurakucho Store (Opened April 2020) ・Sumitomo Life's "Vitality" Plaza Shinjuku Store (Opened November 2019) [Social Issues / Customer Issues / Requests] In order to solve the three issues of increasing awareness of "Sumitomo Life's "Vitality", attracting new customers, and improving policyholder loyalty, we were required to utilize "digital" technology that is rooted in "people" and creates new experiential value. By opening a store in the heart of Ginza, one of Japan's leading commercial districts, and disseminating information, we promoted the project to contribute to Sumitomo Life's vision of "better living for each individual = well-being". [Solution] We created a space where customers can experience the world of Vitality by visualizing the features of the health program of Sumitomo Life "Vitality" - "understand your health condition," "improve your health condition," and "enjoy rewards" through displays of rewards and videos. We created a flexible space where various events and seminars can be held to support health promotion activities, and a meeting room where face-to-face support can be provided to existing policyholders, and the plan emphasizes value rooted in "people." Interactive content was introduced at the entrance, allowing customers to make health efforts their own, and a new experience using "digital" was provided with Ginza as a backdrop. We hope that the store will be a place that supports each individual's "daily life" from the heart of Ginza through the space and contributes to the realization of a healthy and long-lived society. [Customer feedback] Many design companies in the same industry visit the store because they are interested in design, layout by your company. Customers have said things like "The wall concept design is wonderful," "It's a stylish space," "It's cool with the smart partitions," and "It's a space that makes you want to sign a contract," and some customers were impressed by the monolith (a large touch-panel monitor). <Our project members> ・Sumitomo Life Insurance "Vitality" Plaza Ginza Flagship Store [Development] Mizuki Ogura [Sales and project management] Keita Shima [Planning] Hiroki Noda, Hiroshi Matsushita [Digital content planning] Aya Watanabe [Leasing] Aya Nishimoto, Tomoko Shirasaki [design, layout] Yasushi Machida, Megumi Yatsuka, Mariko Yamagiwa [Production and construction] Tomokuni Hasegawa [System design and construction] Keisuke Taneda, Yuki Kuga ・Sumitomo Life Insurance "Vitality" Plaza Yurakucho Store [Development] Mizuki Ogura [Sales and project management] Keita Shima [Planning] Hiroki Noda [design, layout] Yasushi Machida [Production and construction] Kazuki Misawa ・Sumitomo Life Insurance "Vitality" Plaza Shinjuku Store [Development] Mizuki Ogura [Sales and project management] Keita Shima [Planning] Koji Nakazato, Hiroki Noda [design, layout] Yasushi Machida [Production and construction] Kazuki Misawa

Atsuta Shrine is a shrine that enshrines Kusanagi-no-mitsurugi, one of the three sacred treasures, and swords have been donated to the shrine throughout the ages. Kusanagikan, a treasure trove of swords, is a sword exhibition hall unique to Atsuta Shrine, housing approximately 450 swords that have been dedicated to the gods with prayer since ancient times, including swords designated as national treasures and important cultural properties. In addition to swords, you can also view paintings and historical documents related to swords. There is also displays corner where you can feel the weight of two large swords, the Shumei Sueno Aoe (Taro Tachi) and Chiyozuru Kuniyasu (Jiro Tachi), made to the actual length and weight. We were in charge of the graphics in the hall, explanations for the sword displays, and video production. The video was based on the theme of "Kusanagi-no-mitsurugi - the myth of its transmission," which is also the origin of the name Kusanagikan. The myth of the birth of Kusanagi Sword and the origin myth of the shrine it enshrines are presented in a graceful picture scroll style. The background music was also carefully considered, beginning with the melody of an ancient Japanese gagaku instrument and adding the sounds of an orchestra to convey the magnificent moment of the birth of the shrine. The explanatory monitor for the sword displays follows the theory of sword displays appreciation, but by using larger letters and more furigana, it is easier to read for a wider range of ages. <Our project members> [Sales] Yamamoto Izumiichiro, Watanabe Kyoko [Planning, graphic direction, video direction] Shimokuni Yuki [Fixture concept design] Miyake Dairo

This is a new style of community lounge that was realized by Sunshine City Co., Ltd. directly managing the vacant section of the 3rd floor food and beverage floor of Sunshine City Alpa. We were in charge of planning support, design, layout, and construction. The space is composed of a lounge space where workers can do desk work and a kitchen space where different businesses operate during lunch time, and is suitable for a variety of scenes such as not only work but also meals, refreshment, and event use. In addition, there is a cafe space where "BYRON BAY coffee", which is popular for its organic coffee, is open. It is a lounge space that does not specify how it is used as a place to connect "people and people" and "people and things", where a wide variety of people gather and act as a base for promoting new communities. The name of the facility, "SOLARIUM", means "sundial" in Latin, so it is an original name that is appropriate for this place where various people gather and interact depending on the time of day. [Social issues / Customer issues / Requests] Due to the changes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the options for places to work have increased, and a proposal for a flexible community lounge that can accommodate them was required. This project called for the proposal of co-working space with a kitchen, which is possible because the area is located on the food and beverage floor, and the creation of a community lounge that can be used by local people as well as workers, and the creation of opportunities for communication and flexibility of the space. [Solution] All the main tables are equipped with casters to accommodate a variety of situations. In addition, to make it comfortable to work and eat, a variety of seating options are available to choose from depending on the purpose and mood, such as box-shaped seats for individual work, a sofa area for a short break, and a high counter for casual conversation over a cup of coffee. In order to convey that it is a place for connecting with the local community, we commissioned FACE, a globally active artist from Toshima Ward, to create a work with the themes of "diversity" and "the city of Ikebukuro," and boldly laid it out on the glass surface of the space. By dispelling the image of Sunshine City up to now in a good way, it expresses that it is a place to take a step forward and embrace new values. <Our project members> [Sales/Project Management] Minami Hiramatsu [design, layout] Manabu Yamanobe, Noriaki Tamura, Kan Fujimura [Production/ construction] Takashi Kodama
