Works#2023

Mitsubishi Estate commissioned MEC Industry, a group company, to propose and develop new office interiors products. From among the many ideas, we worked on developing partitions and OA floors for sale as wooden products. At the Non-Residential Wooden Architecture Fair 2023 to be held in May 2023, we collaborated with Mitsubishi Estate and other booth stakeholders to consider design, layout that could be installed in order to displays the mockups created during the development process in the Mitsubishi Estate Group booth. After this fair, the stakeholders provided feedback and brushed up the mockups in terms of concept design, construction, and procurement for actual sales, which led to their installation at Mitsubishi Estate's headquarters. NOMURA also cooperated with the design and construction of the installation.

This is the first direct store in the Chugoku region. It will be located in "HIROSHIMA GATE PARK", which was reborn as a public park on the site of the former Hiroshima Municipal Baseball Stadium in spring 2023, and our company, which was in charge of leasing for the project, was involved in the store opening guidance, design, layout, and construction.

This project is for the GOOD HEALTH CAFETERIA and INTERNATIONAL CAFETERIA, which are located at Tokyo International University, adjacent to Sunshine City in Ikebukuro. We were in charge of the interiors concept design, building execution to enrich the living space where students spend most of their days, and to create a comfortable environment where they can do various activities in addition to eating and drinking. The two cafeterias aim to become new bases for campus life by providing an environment where students can naturally gather, learn about each other's cultures through healthy Japanese food and food from around the world, and encourage interaction.

The event was aimed at providing elementary school students with an opportunity to communicate with science museum curators and feel closer to science while spending their weekday after-school time in after-school care. Tama Rokuto Science Museum, which we have been managing as a designated manager since 2013, was connected to an after-school children's club in Kodaira City, Tokyo via online broadcast, and a science experiment workshop using balloons was held. Experiments such as "dropping," "floating," "stretching and returning," and "shaking" were conducted in the form of a quiz, allowing participants to have fun while deepening their understanding of the wonders of balloons.

Based on the concept of "NEXT MANILA LIFESTYLE," "MITSUKOSHI BGC" is a commercial complex that delivers a new lifestyle co-created by Japan and the Philippines, set in the international city of Bonifacio Global City. We are in charge of the basic concept and concept design of the environmental common areas, proposing a comfortable facility on a human scale by incorporating traditional Japanese space-making elements such as "approaching paths" and "street gardens" into the open commercial space, with a row of open stores that create a fun shopping experience. In the center of the facility, customers are greeted by a ceiling design called "Joining Hands," which is a Japanese icon of hands clasped together, as a symbolic concept design that expresses the project's desire to become a bridge between the Philippines and Japan.

The first new concept store, Sports Authority Toyokawa, aims to be more than just a sporting goods store; it aims to be a space that anyone can drop in to and feel like a "place" for. Rather than creating a typical sports store, it values an atmosphere that is open to everyone, friendly, peaceful and relaxing, and connects the "inside" and "outside" of the store with concept design that uses a "veranda" as a symbolic motif, providing a space where a wide range of customers, from families to seniors, can relax and enjoy shopping and communication.

We have created an application that allows visitors to learn more about the past and present of Tsumakoi Village. The application allows visitors to experience the past and present of Tsumagoi Village at three locations: "Asama no Ibuki," a direct sales shop selling Tsumagoi Village's specialties; "Kambara Kannondou," where human remains from the 1783 eruption were excavated; and "Tsumagoi Local History Museum," which has materials from the time of the eruption at displays. -The AR contents can be played by holding a tablet over the present Mt. Asama and experiencing the eruption in 1783 and the changes in the ridgelines of Mt. The detailed information is explained with illustrations. -Learn about Tsumagoi Village today - You can see the traces of the eruption that are currently being excavated, the four seasons of Tsumagoi Village, and explanations of the village's local specialties. The 360-degree images of the rhododendron garden in the spring and the star-filled sky in the summer can be enjoyed as if the visitors were actually there.

The store's garage-like interiors concept design, inspired by the CHUMS factory in Hurricane, Utah, USA, where CHUMS was born, allows customers to experience the brand's roots.
