Works#2021

NOMURA Co.,Ltd. opened a new office in March 2021 in the Daiba Garden City Building adjacent to the Head Office building (Odaiba, Tokyo) to accommodate the new normal era. NOMURA Co.,Ltd. The Group's goal is to activate communication and better creativity among employees while taking advantage of the Group's diverse work styles and values. NOMURA Co.,Ltd. The Group launched a project in 2019 to consolidate Group company locations with the aim of creating an environment in which employees can work together more closely and synergistically. Facing the changes in work styles and social issues arising from the Corona disaster, we sought to create a realistic office space for the New Normal era with the three keywords of "health," "experimentation," and "brand" to create the "way of the future work. We believed that the function of the office in the new normal era would change from a "workplace" to an "innovative space that triggers communication," where a diverse range of people from inside and outside the company can gather and actively exchange ideas and opinions in a way that only the real world can offer. To this end, the communication space "RESET SPACE_2" was designed based on the concept of a "Unique Park," a park-like space that can be used by all employees to accommodate diverse and unique work styles. The space is made of 100% fair wood. CONFERIUM is a proposal for a new meeting room area, and is an attempt to "act displays in the way we work" by daring to actively showcase unique meetings. The know-how used in the displays space is applied to the office space, for example, by darkening the common corridor to make the conference room stand out as displays. The creative office area has adopted a group address system. The creative floor is designed to allow concept design work with an awareness of the "concept design feeling" of scale and materials, which is a major advantage when conducting concept design work. By clarifying the purpose of the space, we were able to create a sophisticated space at a low cost. This project was planned, designed, construction and managed by the NOMURA Co.,Ltd. group.

Kiuchi Construction in Shizuoka constructed a new office building as a 100 year anniversary project. In one corner of the gallery, we were asked to create a gallery to introduce displays's 100 year history for the purpose of recruiting and communication with clients. Showcasing the history of 100 years from the company's founding to the present and the trajectory of its challenges in construction technology, we aimed to deepen the understanding of Kiuchi's history and create a space that can be effectively used as a communication tool for Kiuchi's next 100 years. [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] ・ Kiuchi Corporation's characteristics were expressed well and the facility was requested to have a dignified appearance. ・ We were requested to present information that is easy for recruiters and clients to understand, and also to remind subcontractors of projects they were involved in in the past and create conversations with Kiuchi employees. ・ With respect to displays, we were requested to guarantee renewability. [Solution] Concrete was chosen as the core of the space expression to express the characteristics of the company, which has its own factory and has achieved development by actively engaging in the concrete business. The concrete that supported displays's growth is also used as fixtures, giving a sense of the weight of history and creating an impactful glimpse. The wall is a graphic sheet chronology that shows the history of the company, which has always responded to the needs of the times and grown while overcoming the waves of economic boom and bust from its founding. In the central showcase, we present diorama models of the milestones in our 100 year history. Instead of displaying the completed architecture, we created a model of the construction scene to make it easier to understand as an illustration. In addition, by elaborately representing the people involved in the construction work as models, we created a displays with a sense of presence that makes it possible to hear the sounds of the site, as well as the breathing and voices of the people of Kiuchi Construction and its partner companies. < our company Project Members > [Sales] Ken Kumagai [design, layout] Yoshihiro Kitamura [Production/construction] Kazuo Maeda

[Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] - As this was a spring collection displays, displays space expressing the freshness of spring was required. - An impactful space that would catch the eye of customers entering from the entrance was required. - As UNIQLO is committed to sustainability, fixtures made of environmentally friendly materials that could be used continuously in the future were required. - As a measure against COVID-19, it was necessary to create custom benches that were easy to clean. [Solution] Many plants were placed inside the store to create a space that felt like a spring park overflowing with greenery, even indoors. Furthermore, a symbolic tree reaching 3.5m was placed in the center to create an impact. Cork was used as a material, showing consideration for the environment, and as a measure against COVID-19, the bench seats were made removable so that the seats could be covered with plastic, making them easy to clean. <Our Project Members> [Sales/Project Management] Hidenori Miyaura [design, layout] no.10: Yosuke Ando, Mayuko Fukumoto, Daisuke Okazaki [Production/ construction] Yurika Kita, Kurumi Kajimoto
