We were in charge of the renovation of Crossdine, a popular all-day dining restaurant with a buffet located inside Hotel Metropolitan. While maintaining its main concept since its opening, "Cross over dining," an international culinary crossroads by expert chefs specializing in Japanese, Western, and Chinese cuisine, we adopted a new concept design concept, "CASA VALLEY," meaning a house with a large roof. The lively open kitchen has been enhanced as a "show kitchen," and the space has been reborn as an open, modern living and dining area with a large roof, centered around the kitchen. The imposing pillars supporting the high ceilings give off a calm, woody warmth. Pendant lights, chandeliers, and brackets hanging from the ceiling emit a warm light, creating a comfortable atmosphere like a home that always welcomes you.

In this pavilion, now completed within KidZania Fukuoka, children will learn about space design as "space designers" and then concept design a dinosaur museum space using models of dinosaurs and other creatures.

They can then view the completed displays area through a walkthrough video that gives them the feeling of actually walking through the museum.

The former Horibe family residence, built in 1848, draws this spring water into its grounds, giving the building a unique atmosphere where you can hear the quiet sound of water in the garden and indoors. The design policy is to take advantage of the building's characteristics, which are familiar to local citizens, and its location in the city center, to become a "town front" for Shimabara citizens, businessmen, tourists, and everyone, and to revitalize the city center. We aimed to create a facility that would contribute to the promotion of multi-generational citizen exchange.
