Works#2021

Shizuoka's Kiuchi Construction Co., Ltd. constructed a new office building as part of its 100 year anniversary project. We were asked to create a gallery to introduce the company's 100 year history in displays, for the purpose of recruiting and communicating with clients. By showcasing the 100 year history chronology from its foundation to the present and the trajectory of its challenges in construction technology, we aimed to deepen the understanding of its history and create a space that can be effectively used as a communication tool for Kiuchi Construction to build the next 100 years. [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] • The company requested a design that clearly represents the characteristics of Kiuchi Construction and has a sense of dignity. ・ We were requested to present the information in a way that is easy for recruiters and clients to understand, and for subcontractors to recall projects they had worked on in the past and to have conversations with Kiuchi employees. ・ Regarding displays, we were asked to guarantee renewability. 【 Solution 】 Concrete was used as the core of the space expression in order to express the characteristics of a company that has developed by actively engaging in the concrete business with its own factory. The concrete that underpinned the company's growth has also been used as displays fixtures, allowing the company to feel the weight of its history and creating an impactful appearance. On the wall is a graphic sheet chronology showing the transition of a company from its founding to its post-war reconstruction, which overcame booms and busts while constantly responding to the needs of the times and growing. The showcase in the center shows a diorama model of a moment of technological challenge that has been a milestone in our 100 year history. Instead of displaying the finished building, we used a model of the construction scene to make it easier to understand. In addition, by elaborately representing the people involved in the construction work as a model, we created a realistic displays in which you can hear the sounds of the site and even the breathing and voices of the people of Kiuchi Construction and its partner companies, making it easy to initiate communication. < our company Project Members > 【 Sales 】 Ken Kumagai 【 design, layout 】 Kihiro Kitamura 【 Production/construction 】 Kazuo Maeda

[Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] - As the displays spring collection, an displays space that expressed the freshness of spring was required. - An impactful space that would catch the eye of customers entering the store was required. - As UNIQLO is committed to sustainability, they required fixtures made from environmentally friendly materials that could be used continuously into the future. - As a countermeasure against COVID-19, the built-in benches needed to be easy to clean. [Solution] Numerous plants were placed throughout the store, creating a lush, spring-like park-like atmosphere while indoors. A 3.5-meter-tall symbolic tree was placed in the center to create an impact. Cork was used as a material to be environmentally friendly. As a countermeasure against COVID-19, the bench seats were removable, allowing them to be covered with vinyl for easy cleaning. <Our Project Members> [Sales/Project Management]: Hidenori Miyaura [design, layout]: no.10: Yosuke Ando, Mayuko Fukumoto, Daisuke Okazaki [Production/ construction]: Yurika Kita, Kurumi Kajimoto
