To Our Future- SCRAP MATERIAL UPCYCLE PROJECT- SCRAPTURE

To Our Future- SCRAP MATERIAL UPCYCLE PROJECT- SCRAPTURE

This project is an upcycling activity that complements and displays "scrap" generated from building materials and interiors materials as "furniture," reuses them as recycled materials, and gives back to the earth. According to the Ministry of the Environment, the amount of industrial waste generated in Japan in fiscal year 2020 is 373.82 million tons* per year, and nearly 1 million tons of scrap is generated per day. We, the creators who come into contact with various materials in our concept design work every day, felt that it was our responsibility to take the lead in spreading the message of recycling the earth's limited resources to society and the local community. We formed a team of young creators within the company to plan and manage the project as a social contribution activity. We enclosed and complemented the shredded waste materials in a transparent skin made of recycled vinyl as furniture, and displays to appeal to the message with an art displays-like expression, and toured offices and public spaces both in Japan and overseas. After a certain period of displays, the materials will be returned to interiors and construction site as interiors resources, and the next waste material will be enclosed, supplemented, and displays in a traveling sustainability project. In order to reach as many people as possible, a launch displays was held in the entrance space of the company's office to solicit sponsoring companies, and it has received support from many sponsoring companies, local people, and educational institutions. The exhibition is based on an interiors concept that allows anyone to intuitively grasp the message, by allowing people to "see, learn about, and touch" "interior waste materials" that are not seen in everyday life, and to displays as a "trigger" for thinking about a better future and a sustainable society. *Source: Ministry of the Environment, "Total Emissions in 2020"

Kyushu Mitsubishi Motors Sales Co., Ltd. KMG Building

Kyushu Mitsubishi Motors Sales Co., Ltd. KMG Building

This is a reconstruction project for the showroom and office of Kyushu Mitsubishi Motors Sales Co., Ltd. It is an 8-story steel-framed building, and we were in charge of the interiors design and construction of the cafe and restaurant on the first floor and the showroom on the second floor. As a new landmark for Yakuin, Fukuoka City, we aimed to create a space that can connect with people and the city (region) with the concept of "obi". The cafe and restaurant are concept design to be an open space that is easy to enter and to be a communication space integrated with the showroom. In addition, we installed large digital signage, a turntable that symbolically displays cars, and a lighted ceiling, and sprinkled elements to naturally make customers at the cafe interested in cars. The showroom on the second floor adopts an organic design that makes extensive use of curved surfaces that symbolize the "obi", and the ceiling has a concept design pattern that deforms Mitsubishi's three diamonds. In addition, the showroom is based on the Mitsubishi brand colors of black, white, and gray, and has a simple and solid feel that is "typical of Mitsubishi Motors". In addition, we set up a kids' corner where children can have fun even if they come as a family, a corner to promote V2H technology, and a dedicated corner for important business negotiations, and designed the space to further update the functions of a conventional showroom space. construction: PS Mitsubishi/Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Transportation Construction Engineering Joint Venture [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] In addition to existing customers, we received a request to create a space that would attract a wide range of new customer groups that had not been fully captured until now, such as young families and young people who are not very interested in cars. [Solution] The cafe restaurant on the first floor facing the main street has openable sash windows that eliminate borders between the terrace seats and the inside of the store, allowing signage images and various events to be promoted all the way to the street, aiming to create a space that can attract a wide variety of customers. The symbolic spiral staircase and atrium leading to the showroom on the second floor, and the uniformity of materials that unite the two floors, naturally invite customers who use the cafe restaurant into the showroom, where they can experience Mitsubishi Motors' V2H technology and the latest technology, and experience the potential of automobiles to bring sustainable prosperity and happiness to people, creating an iconic environment. The showroom was planned with the customer's perspective in mind throughout, with a kids' corner located in the center so that children can be kept an eye on while business negotiations are taking place. In addition, consideration has been given to reducing the environmental impact by incorporating V2H linked to the solar power generation system installed on the building's rooftop, motion sensors, and lighting control with an automatic dimming system. <Our project members> [Sales/Project Management] Goto Naoki [Architecture/ concept design] Takao Kazuyoshi, Sawada Riho [Production/ construction] Nakano Keiji

JRE Kanda Ogawamachi Building

JRE Kanda Ogawamachi Building

This is a value-upgrade project for the renovation of a 20+ year old office building in a corner of Kanda Ogawa-cho. The main renovation areas are part of the exterior façade and building signage, the first floor entrance, and the common areas of the standard floor (4th floor). concept design concept throughout is "Timeless & Biophilic concept design *". By making good use of the existing granite space, the disposal of waste materials due to removal was minimized, and the fusion of good old materials and new materials made it a cost-effective concept design while being conscious of sustainability. *What is biophilic concept design: A design or method that allows people in a space to feel a connection with nature. Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] The building was more than 20 years old, and there were concerns about the future due to the concept design obsolescence of the entrance and other parts of the building, as well as a decline in competitiveness in the area. In addition, the building's entrance does not face the main street, giving the impression that the main flow line is a back alley, and there was room for improvement in terms of the building's visibility. Based on these issues, this project was required to improve the competitiveness and visibility of the property by renovating the entrance, façade, and some standard floors. SOLUTION: To soften the dark, back-alley feel of the facade, dynamic wood grain louvers and indirect lighting were newly installed to create a bright building face. The entrance is made of glass and natural wood to renew the old-fashioned look of the building and to motivate the people who work there. Sanitary fixtures such as toilets and hot water supply rooms on the office floors were also renovated to meet new standards such as anti-bacterial. Through these comprehensive renovations, we aim to make the entire building a safe and comfortable place for the people who work there. Thanks to the concerted efforts of the sales staff, designers, and construction staff at NOMURA, we were able to successfully complete this project. We would like to express our gratitude for the meticulous follow-up at each phase of the project. We feel that the renovated façade and entrance are functioning more than adequately as the face of the new building. <Development] Takuya Kitai [Sales/Project Management] Masahiro Harada, Kayu Tatsumi [Research] Wataru Takada [design, layout] Hiroyuki Nii, Ayaka Miyane, Hitoteru Igarashi [Production/ construction] Mai Sakai, Tomokuni Hasegawa, Ikuya Sasaki

MID POINT Musashi Kosugi

MID POINT Musashi Kosugi

This project was launched in July 2020 by Cosmos Initia Co., Ltd., a member of the Daiwa House Group, as the third installment of its rental office business, MID POINT, which aims to realize the concept of “work and home proximity.” We were responsible for concept design, schematic design, working drawings, and construction. The store is located in the Kosugi 3rd Avenue complex, a two-minute walk from Musashi-Kosugi Station, and is conveniently located for both work and customer service. In addition to the traditional office space, the lounge also features a kitchen equipped with tableware and cooking utensils, making it a space that can be used not only for business purposes, but also for holding events for contracted employees. There is also a cafe open to the local community, which can be used by those who are not contracted with MID POINT. We were also in charge of the following stores:・MID POINT Omori (Opening February 2022) ・MID POINT Shibuya Shinsen (Opening December 2021) ・MID POINT Kawasaki (Opening April 2021) ・MID POINT Meguro Fudomae (Opening November 2018) [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] We were asked to provide a cafe and a lounge space on the first floor that is easy for our clients to use while ensuring sufficient office space and number of rooms. [Solution] By concentrating the kitchen and plumbing equipment in the center of the first floor, we were able to maximize the number of seats in the cafe and lounge while improving space efficiency. In addition, by making the kitchen a counter kitchen, we were able to concept design the cafe and office space to be separated while still allowing a full view of the entire space. [Customer Feedback] As the third base for MID POINT, we were able to achieve an excellent balance between upgrading the existing base and adding a new cafe. In addition, despite the difficult floor plan, they adjusted the layout to ensure the comfort of each space while securing the rent income. <Our project members> ・MID POINT Musashi-Kosugi [Sales/Project Management] Keita Shima [design, layout] Hiroyuki Nii, Ayaka Miyane [Production/ construction] Kentaro Hirano [Planning/Operation Advice] Sahoko Suzuki, Naoki Nomura ・MID POINT Omori [Sales/Project Management] Takashi Kobori, Keita Shima, Mizuki Ichihara [Planning] Taku Sugimoto [concept design Direction] Hisako Kashiwasawa, Sayaka Eto ・MID POINT Shibuya Shinsen [Sales/Project Management] Takashi Kobori, Keita Shima, Mizuki Ichihara [Planning] Taku Sugimoto

Nice Co., Ltd. Head Office Renovation

Nice Co., Ltd. Head Office Renovation

This is a head office renovation project for Nice Co., Ltd., a distributor of wood and building materials, celebrating its 70th anniversary. We were selected as the result of a proposal competition. Based on the concept of "knowing trees and communicating about trees," we aimed to build a base where wood specialists can gather and create a sustainable circulation centered on wood, thereby aiming to be a "facility that contributes to creating a bright society with trees" that can further stimulate the distribution of wood. The first and second floors, where visitors are welcomed, and the eighth floor, which has a reception room, were considered to be places that could appeal to customers, and were concept design using Nice's original wood products as materials. In the lobby, the dynamic wooden colonnade that stretches up to the high ceiling of the atrium and the vertical blinds made of lace material attached to the large glass windows gently block the view from the outside world, and the scattered glass lamps express the sunlight filtering through the trees, making the most of the large space to create a hospitality space. On the 7th floor, where employees gather, we have set up a conference room and a reading corner so that employees can enjoy and spontaneously interact with "trees." It is a place for artisans to gather and browse technology. By creating spaces where employees can concentrate and spaces that encourage active communication, we have created a flexible space configuration that caters to the working style of each employee. [Social issues/customer issues/requests] The specific request for this renewal was to share concept design and values that symbolize sustainability, such as "carbon-free and wood-based," and to create an office environment that improves communication during the COVID-19 pandemic. [Solution] In order to realize the strong desire for wood-based materials, we communicated closely with NICE's project managers and their own factory managers, and proceeded with concept design while deciding on the materials and color of the wood. The communication area for employees is intentionally designed to have no boundaries, and the area is softly divided by furniture such as a family restaurant bench and a solo desk where you can concentrate on your work, centered around an arched bookshelf. By making it an OA floor, it has the function of realizing a flexible working style. [Customer feedback] NOMURA took on the project, and thanks to them we were able to create a welcoming space that is reminiscent of a high-quality, relaxed hotel lobby, something we would never have dreamed up ourselves. This time, they used a variety of their own products and tree species as materials. What could have easily been a disjointed impression was managed to exquisitely harmonize the characteristics of the tree species with the space, achieving a wooden renovation befitting a company with roots in "wood". We are extremely grateful that this was made possible by NOMURA 's high level of concept design and technical capabilities. <Our project members> [Development] Kitai Takuya [Sales and project promotion] Kitai Takuya, Nakayabu Midori, Yoshii Seijun [design, layout] Taibichi Sachiko, Hiura Nao [Production and construction] Hirowatari Ryokazu, Iwashita Nozomi, Kikuchi Nohara
