Loisir Hotel Shinagawa Seaside is located on an upper floor, with the front desk and conference rooms on the 16th floor and guest rooms on the 17th to 22nd floors, comprising seven floors in total. In this renovation, our company was responsible for renovating 50 guest rooms on the 18th floor. Taking advantage of the characteristics of the location and focusing on its excellent access to tourist attractions, we reflected concept design in the first experience of guests' stay. Based on the concept of "the space where the first step of a journey begins," we subdivided the stay experience and added concept design to that "first action," aiming to create a space where guests can feel hospitality. In addition, to take advantage of the unique scenery of the area, we incorporated the colors of the container terminal in the port area that spreads out in front of the hotel into the FF&E (Food, Fun, and Ease) area, integrating the outside scenery into the space as borrowed scenery.

This is displays space of Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. at the "City of the Future" Pavilion of the 2025 Japan International Exposition (Osaka-Kansai Expo). displays concept is "Mobility Instinct Research Institute." It expresses the mobility society of 2050 as envisioned by the Kawasaki Heavy Industries Group through an interactive displays using full-scale mobility vehicles. Through visitors' experiences of "seeing," "touching," and "experiencing," it provides a space that inspires great hope and expectations for the future of mobility. By combining a spatial design that balances a sense of the future with immersion through large LEDs, and displays and experiences using full-scale mobility vehicles, the exhibition is structured to allow visitors to experience the future of mobility as something that concerns them personally.

This is a Tokyo Head Office relocation project of Toman Toys, which handles the planning, manufacturing, sales, and consulting business of character miscellaneous goods and toys. Against the backdrop of rapid business growth, we started with the aim of expanding our office and rebranding our company, and we were in charge of construction from concept design design to interiors and construction work. Based on the "creative power" and "trust" that Toman Toys has built up so far, we are creating a new face of the company with an eye on future growth while valuing a friendly and soft corporate image. The layout plan reflects the company culture of closeness and friendliness in the spatial composition. concept design used a combination of materials in a one-tone color based on wood to express the intellectual atmosphere of an idea company. In addition, FF&E coordination based on Scandinavian furniture fosters a soft atmosphere of the corporate image. The corporate colors incorporated throughout as accents create a sense of unity throughout the space, creating a one-of-a-kind office.

Following the closure of the Panasonic Center Tokyo in Ariake, Tokyo, in December 2024, displays for business customers were relocated to Shiodome, Tokyo, and the "Panasonic Corporate Showroom" was reopened as a place where visitors can experience the history, latest solutions, and future vision of the Panasonic Group. Targeting VIPs from corporations and government agencies, the showroom aims to foster empathy and co-creation by presenting Panasonic's history and various initiatives for the future through hospitality and videos. Our company was responsible for design, layout production, and construction.

The "Osaka Healthcare Pavilion Nest for Reborn," a joint venture between Osaka Prefecture and Osaka City, the host cities of the Osaka-Kansai Expo, brings together industry, academia, government, and the private sector. As the lead company in displays joint venture, our company was responsible for everything from basic planning and schematic design to working drawings and construction. The basic concept was "displays that allows visitors to experience a life where future medicine and healthcare are integrated, and that will also serve as an experiment for future society, creating a legacy," which was expressed through the future of "healthcare," "cities," "food and culture," and "entertainment." In the main program, the "Reborn Experience Route," visitors can meet their future selves 25 years from now by measuring their health data in a "body measurement pod." Together with this future self, they can experience the future of healthcare and urban life envisioned by approximately 20 exhibiting companies, mainly from Osaka, and have the experience of being reborn as their future self. displays embodies our hope that it will serve as a catalyst for a "future society where life shines," showing that "people can be reborn" and "take a new step forward." [Features of the project] We were able to realize this by bringing together the aspirations of the general producer, advisors, exhibiting companies, and many other stakeholders, with the hope that it will serve as a catalyst for a "future society where life shines," showing that "people can be reborn" and "take a new step forward."

This project was launched to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Yokohama Landmark Tower. Three attractive bars have come together, including restaurants supervised by chefs with ties to Yokohama and Kanagawa, as well as restaurants created in collaboration with local businesses. Opened on May 29, 2025, it serves as a new hub for showcasing the appeal of food and producers from Kanagawa Prefecture to visitors. Our company was responsible for everything from planning and concept design to construction, including the use of Kanagawa-sourced timber in part of the interiors and mural art by Kanagawa-based artist Ryohei Yamashita.

As the host country of the 2025 Japan International Exposition (Osaka-Kansai Expo), which will be held under the theme of "concept design a Future Society Where Life Shines," Japan's pavilion, themed "Between Life and Life," allows visitors to feel the significance of "circulation" through a seamless connection between displays and architecture. The Japan Pavilion, which embodies the relay of life with its circular structure, has a unique presence as the host country's pavilion. In addition to a flow of movement that naturally draws visitors into the Japan Pavilion as they walk around its perimeter, its most distinctive feature is the countless "wooden planks" arranged in a circle. Through the gaps between them, visitors can catch a glimpse of the interior, and the continuity between inside and outside, displays and architecture, gives visitors an opportunity to become aware of the "in-between" space that is also the theme of the Japan Pavilion. Another feature of this pavilion is the concept of "Japan Pavilion that eats garbage." Garbage generated at the Expo site will be decomposed by the action of microorganisms and converted into energy and water. This "living pavilion" allows visitors to relive the process through an installation*, experiencing firsthand how the generated energy and water power the Japan Pavilion. As they tour the pavilion, which is composed of three zones, they can feel the significance of "circulation," a core aspect of Japanese aesthetics, and realize that they themselves are part of this long and grand narrative. In addition, by using "wooden panels" mainly made of CLT (cross-laminated timber) and steel for the structure, CLT is used in the simplest and most symbolic way possible. The CLT used in the Japan Pavilion is planned to be reused by companies and local governments throughout Japan after the Expo, and has been designed to be easily dismantled and repurposed. By understanding the value of "circulation," which underlies the Japan Pavilion's theme, "Between Life and Life," we aim to encourage visitors to re-examine the circulation that is so close to us, leading to an exploration of the future of society and hints for a sustainable future. Our company is responsible for displays concept design (schematic design, working drawings), construction, and operation of this Japan Pavilion. *A contemporary art form in which the entire displays space is experienced as a work of art. The audience walks around the space, enjoying the artwork through sight, sound, and other senses.

We have renovated the "Mountain Center" located at the foot of the slopes of the "Niseko Tokyu Grand Hirafu" ski resort in Abuta District, Hokkaido. The facility has two floors, with a shop and ticket counter on the first floor and a restaurant on the second floor. In this renovation, the sales area on the first floor has been expanded to 1.6 times its original size, and the restaurant on the second floor has been renamed "sanshoku" and completely renovated along with the spatial design. We interpreted the facility as a place to send off guests arriving at Grand Hirafu onto the course, and a place to welcome guests returning from the course, and concept design it accordingly. We aimed to create a space that is cool yet somehow warm, with an experience that can only be found here, by blending the generous nature of Hokkaido, which embraces the resort, with the newly enhanced, cool brand identity symbolized by "Hirafu Blue," and scattering these elements throughout the lively space that is unique to a resort facility and offers once-in-a-lifetime encounters.

This pavilion at the Osaka-Kansai Expo expresses the rich stories of Qatar's people, land, and sea through the skillful use of realistic materials. The space is constructed with real sand that recreates the desert landscape with delicate gradations, deep-sea-like aluminum material that covers the floor, walls, and ceiling, and a giant curtain of intricate embroidery that symbolizes cultural richness. The design creates an immersive displays space where Qatari's traditional crafts and landscapes fantastically emerge from materials that directly appeal to the senses of visitors.

Spread out in front of the Koitoi coast in Hokkaido, "Roadside Station Shiranuka Koimunkan" is a facility where you can enjoy a comfortable car trip with a function as an RV park (*1), which is rare at a roadside station, and is equipped with showers, saunas, and laundromats. There are also restaurants that use local ingredients from Shiranuka Town, and on a clear day, you can overlook the beautiful scenery of the Koimun Coast from the "Azumashi Living" with a view of the sea and the observation deck on the second floor. In addition, based on the idea of "Japan's best child-rearing support" advocated by Shiranuka Town, the facility is equipped with a children's family space (Kokko Park). We participated mainly in the planning work of this project as a consortium member, and after being commissioned, we promoted the work as a member of the construction JV (*3), and handled a wide range of tasks such as interiors design and sign planning.  *1 A sleep-in facility certified by the Japan RV Association. *2 DBO (Design, Build, Operate): One of the public-private partnership methods in which design, construction, maintenance, management, and operation are comprehensively ordered from private companies. *3 Joint venture system. A business organization formed by multiple companies for the purpose of receiving and construction a single construction project.

Umeda Green Place is a mixed-use commercial complex located at the gateway to the "Umeda 2nd Phase Area," themed around "greenery" and "a place for encounters and exchanges." Creating lush green spaces and lively, relaxing areas, the complex features 20 shops, primarily restaurants and cafes, designed to cater to the diverse needs of people passing through the area around JR Osaka Station, from office workers to those visiting the park or shopping. Our company was responsible for the planning, design, and construction of the 2nd-floor food court and the 2nd and 3rd-floor restrooms, as well as overall furniture and fixture manufacturing.

We were responsible for design, layout, signage and graphic concept design, interior administration, furniture and fixture manufacturing, environmental features, and construction of the "Lounge & Dining" restaurant within the venue of the 2025 Japan International Exposition (Osaka-Kansai Expo). This facility is concept design to be a welcoming space for guests from both Japan and abroad, combining high-quality spatial design with comfort. Our aim was to create a space that would create a special experience that would remain in the memories of people gathering from all over the world.

This project involved the renovation of the "Accident Information displays Room" located within the Seibu Training Center, which was established in 2009 for the purpose of safety education for Seibu Railway employees. In addition to the existing "displays Area," a new "Learning Area" was added, and the room was redesigned as a "Safety Education Room" with the aim of encouraging each employee to think for themselves, take action, and share an awareness toward building safety, so as to learn from past accidents and prevent accidents from happening again. In the "displays Area," based on the accident information accumulated to date, employees can reaffirm Seibu Railway's "safety first" principle and learn lessons from accidents. In the "Learning Area," the focus is on human error and the latest safety management concepts are introduced. Through experiential displays and workshops, the aim was to share an awareness of safety among employees by encouraging them to think for themselves about how to solve problems and to discuss them in groups. Our company handled the planning and concept, design, layout, signage and graphic concept design, design supervision, environmental features, exhibit execution, interior execution, and building execution.

The new Lawson store, which opened within the 2025 Japan International Exposition site, is located in front of the East Gate entrance, directly connected to Yumeshima Station (Osaka Metro Chuo Line), the closest station to the venue. Through noren (traditional Japanese curtain) art representing the 47 prefectures of Japan and wall art inspired by Lawson's vision for the future, "Happy Lawson Town," the store expresses the symbiotic society fostered by the connections between Lawson stores across Japan and each region. Furthermore, with future use after the Expo in mind, sustainable building materials such as wood and scaffolding pipes have been incorporated extensively. In addition, concept design incorporates elements of Lawson's roots since its opening in 1975, such as the logo of the first store and milk cans, expressing its uniqueness and communicating the essential value of being a "community hot station" that lives together with the community from the past to the future.

In May, when the zelkova trees lining the streets are covered in fresh green leaves and Sendai becomes its most beautiful "City of Trees," the "Sendai Aoba Festival," a historical festival showcasing the refined elegance of the Date clan, is held. This festival began in 1985, the 350th anniversary of the death of Date Masamune, as a revival of a festival from the Edo period Sendai domain. For the fourth festival in 1988, five Sendai Yamaboko floats were created to recreate the procession of floats from that time, and the procession was revived. The following year, five more floats were added, and in 1995, one more was created, bringing the total to eleven. Our Tohoku branch has been involved in the creation of the floats from the early stages, and because of that connection, our branch staff still work together every year to support the procession. And in 2025, for the first time in 30 years, a 12th float, the "Gokoku Hojo Yamaboko," will be added to the festival. Creating a new float requires considerable expense. Furthermore, with the participation of over 100 people, including those pulling the float and dancing, sponsorship requires a fairly large local organization or group. In this context, the cooperation of Iris Ohyama, a company based in Sendai, Miyagi, made the creation of a new float a reality. Due to our long-standing relationship with the "Sendai Aoba Festival," our company was in charge of the concept design and production of the float. *Event period: Every year on the third Sunday of May and the day before.
