This is a new office relocation project for GrowthX Partners, Inc., which provides digital transformation support for companies. Head Office to the 48th floor of the Shinjuku Nomura Building, aiming to create a place where employees can be happy and improve their performance. The basic concept of the design is not just a place to work, but a communication space that promotes encounters and discoveries, like a plaza where all employees can gather. [Social issues / customer issues / requests] COVID-19 has drastically changed our lives, and while we are now working and eating at home more often and have become able to work flexibly, the purpose of the office has come into question. While remote work can be done without any problems, the president wanted everyone to come to the office. The new office was required to make coming to the office fun and increase motivation and engagement. [Solution] We explored and designed an office that is not just a place to work, but one that has communication at its core that makes people want to gather together naturally. There are plenty of mechanisms scattered throughout the office that allow active action and spark communication, such as a lounge space where you can work like you're playing and a space where you can freely customize the furniture layout to suit your purpose. In order to foster pride in employees and boost their motivation, artwork by Leslie David, an up-and-coming art director active in Paris, has been boldly placed throughout the space, making it a fun place to come to work. We proposed the original name "Sky AGORA," combining AGORA, which symbolizes a "square" as a place to gather, with the location's high-rise location on the 48th floor. <Our project members> [Sales/Project Management] Nekoda Hiroki [Planning] Masubuch Kenta [design, layout] Yamanobe Manabu, Sato Tomoya, Ami Shunsuke [Production/ construction] Yoshimura Kazuiso

Nomura Corporation was responsible for the planning, design, layout, and construction of the employee cafeteria "Yao Daiichi Shokudo Isshoku," which opened at Sharp Corporation's Yao Plant on November 1, 2021. In proposing the project, we focused not simply on creating a stylish space, but also on creating a proposal that only Nomura could offer. We proposed a cafeteria that would serve as an inner branding space where people could discover the "SHARP identity" across organizational boundaries and generations, as well as an outer branding space that could be experienced by business partners and affiliated companies visiting the company. The cafeteria was divided into three zones—lunch, work, and salon—and was designed to be not only a place for employees to relax, hold meetings with internal and external guests, and foster connections and communication. A single red line (Sharp red) runs through the cafeteria, representing Sharp's history and future. For this project, we devised concept design preserved the Yao Plant's distinctive character while also ensuring hygienic standards. The Yao Plant has a history of approximately 65 years as a white goods production base. Additionally, by utilizing the mezzanine floor, which was previously used for the production line, as an displays space for SHARP's iconic past products, waste and removal costs were reduced, an effort that also reflected the SDGs. [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] Due to the lack of communication between business divisions, the customer requested that the space be made more invigorating for internal connections. [Solution] We proposed that the space could be used not just as a place to eat, but also as a place to work and relax, and also proposed displays past products as a place to stimulate communication between employees and allow them to feel and discover Sharp's history. <Our project members> [Sales/Project Management] Takahashi Yui [design, layout] Umetani Shota, Yamato Suzuha, Nakamura Yusuke, Miura Sayaka [Production Management] Mukaiyama Yoshitsugu ~Related Links~ [Announcements] ・ NOMURA Co.,Ltd.

"EXPRESS WORK" is a new workplace for JR Central's EX service (Express Reservation and Smart EX) members*1. Located in the Marunouchi Chuo Building, it consists of two sections: the drop-in "EXPRESS WORK-Lounge" and the small rental office "EXPRESS WORK-Office." We have been involved since the concept formulation stage, and were in charge of project management, space concept design, and construction. "EXPRESS WORK-Lounge" and "EXPRESS WORK-Office" are directly connected to Tokyo Station and are in an excellent location, making them extremely convenient environments, especially for business users who use the Shinkansen. The space is a socially good space that reflects JR Central's efforts to protect the global environment and revitalize the local area. interiors materials are made from upcycled*2 aluminum (hereafter referred to as recycled aluminum) from the 700-series Tokaido Shinkansen train cars, and FUJI HINOKI MADE wood, a brand of Fuji cypress provided by Fuji City, Shizuoka Prefecture, along the Tokaido Shinkansen line, giving off a faint cypress scent and creating a soothing space for business users. *1 How to use the "EXPRESS WORK-Lounge": In addition to being an EX Service member, you must also register as an "EXPRESS WORK" member. *2 Upcycling: The process of giving waste that would otherwise be thrown away new life by upgrading it into a new product by adding new added value such as concept design or ideas.

Careritz & Partners Co., Ltd. is a company that is growing rapidly in the nursing care business, mainly in home care services, by utilizing IT technology. We concept design the entrance and meeting room, which will be the face of the company, when the Head Office expanded its head office from the 8th floor to the 15th floor of Shinjuku Miraina Tower. [Social Issues / Customer Issues / Requests] Since many job interviews are held, the company wanted a space where job seekers could relax during the interview and an entrance that would give a sense of the company's growth. [Solution] Since the corporate color is green, live plants were placed in a lattice, and the plants eventually grew and grew out of the frame, representing "growth without being bound by frames." In addition, by dividing the meeting room with a glass partition, a sense of spaciousness was created, and an open space that makes use of the borrowed scenery was realized. Since the color green has a visually relaxing effect, the floor of the meeting room is covered with wood and green carpet. In addition, in response to the increase in online meetings, we have prepared a telecon booth for 1 to 2 people and a meeting room that can seat from 4 to a maximum of 20 people so that it can be used according to the number of people in the meeting. Since many training sessions are held within the company, the entrance for visitors and employees taking training sessions was separated to allow for easy access. <Our project members> [Development] Okawa Nobutoshi [Sales/Project Management] Mukuo Ai [design, layout] Shimizu Shigemi, Koga Sayaka, Hagiwara Mitsutaka [Production construction] Shimizu Kota, Odajima Keita

This facility was newly opened in Ginza, Tokyo in April 2021 as a base for "agile development," in which Tokio Marine Group repeatedly verifies and improves in a short period of time. It is a workplace that brings together engineers and designers from Tokio Marine & Nichido Systems to promote the development of insurance and services using digital technology. The facility is a renovated four floors of an existing building, and the first floor is an entrance gallery with a user interview room. The third and fourth floors are office spaces occupied by Tokio Marine & Nichido Systems. The fifth floor is configured as a coworking space that promotes co-creation both inside and outside the company, and is concept design with the concept of a "creative social space," a communication-centered space where a chain of creative activities is born, rather than an office as a place to work. The message of Tokio Marine Group that "insurance is born from adventure and exists to support people's challenges" is the axis of the entire facility, and materials and artworks are selected with the themes of ① adventure, ② challenge, and ③ diversity, and we aim to concept design the space to exude an attitude of challenging anything without fear of failure. We hope that this facility, named G/D Lab., will be a place to accelerate the fusion of insurance and digital, and to support new adventures for the future. [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] The client used the keyword "diversity" to express the concept of a "creative social space" where various talents gather, so the goal was to design an environment that would allow anyone to work comfortably and with flexibility in mind. [Solution] From the perspective of creating a comfortable environment, the lighting plan for the office area incorporates the concept of circadian rhythm and uses fixtures that can be set by timers to change color temperature and illuminance from morning to evening. In addition, most of the fixtures are movable, allowing for flexible response to various working styles. Some of the fixture materials are made of recycled boards called "Kami-Pori Boards" made from upcycled waste paper and waste plastic, making the design environmentally friendly. <Our project members> [Sales and project management] Yasuhiro Urashima [Planning] Ryusuke Nomura, Yuuga Okamoto [design, layout] Manabu Yamanobe, Shunta Nakamura, Shunsuke Ami [Production and construction] Kentaro Hirano, Katsumi Chikada, Kazuki Misawa

This project was to build a place for customer contact in conjunction with the relocation of Fujifilm Business Innovation Japan (formerly Fuji Xerox) to a new office building. We were in charge of planning, design, layout the experience-based showroom "Bridge for Innovation" on the 17th floor of Toyosu Bayside Cross Tower, where the new office will be located. This project required the function of a showroom that would identify the direction of solving customers' problems and lead them to success, while also being a future workplace. Our answer was "agility of variable space." In the solution experience area, no fixed walls were built, and the entire space was composed of highly agile movable fixtures, thoroughly pursuing variable and movable space. [Social issue/customer issue/request] It was necessary to enable flexible operation so that the fixture layout arrangement could be created in a short time to match the business strategy. [Solution] We planned seven types of movable fixtures to correspond to the style of operation, where various booth configurations are updated daily to match the characteristics of the products and customers. Some partitions completely block the view, while others only let half of the view through, and these overlap to create even more variation in transparency. Furthermore, by not erecting fixed walls, and instead using color-coded floors and ceilings to make the boundaries of the spaces clear, natural zoning was made possible. Flexible infrastructure, such as power sources, has been installed under the floor, allowing for easy function conversion in the future. The thorough pursuit of a variable, movable space was also a challenge to organically control the spatial functions without building walls. <Our project members> [Sales and project management] Murakami Natsuko, Kawashima Toshito [Planning] Kobayashi Keita [design, layout] Onishi Ryo, Saka Nobuaki, Uemura Yoriko [Production and construction] Kimura Shunsaku, Murata Riku

This is a new style of community lounge that was realized by Sunshine City Co., Ltd. directly managing the vacant section of the 3rd floor food and beverage floor of Sunshine City Alpa. We were in charge of planning support, design, layout, and construction. The space is composed of a lounge space where workers can do desk work and a kitchen space where different businesses operate during lunch time, and is suitable for a variety of scenes such as not only work but also meals, refreshment, and event use. In addition, there is a cafe space where "BYRON BAY coffee", which is popular for its organic coffee, is open. It is a lounge space that does not specify how it is used as a place to connect "people and people" and "people and things", where a wide variety of people gather and act as a base for promoting new communities. The name of the facility, "SOLARIUM", means "sundial" in Latin, so it is an original name that is appropriate for this place where various people gather and interact depending on the time of day. [Social issues / Customer issues / Requests] Due to the changes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the options for places to work have increased, and a proposal for a flexible community lounge that can accommodate them was required. This project called for the proposal of co-working space with a kitchen, which is possible because the area is located on the food and beverage floor, and the creation of a community lounge that can be used by local people as well as workers, and the creation of opportunities for communication and flexibility of the space. [Solution] All the main tables are equipped with casters to accommodate a variety of situations. In addition, to make it comfortable to work and eat, a variety of seating options are available to choose from depending on the purpose and mood, such as box-shaped seats for individual work, a sofa area for a short break, and a high counter for casual conversation over a cup of coffee. In order to convey that it is a place for connecting with the local community, we commissioned FACE, a globally active artist from Toshima Ward, to create a work with the themes of "diversity" and "the city of Ikebukuro," and boldly laid it out on the glass surface of the space. By dispelling the image of Sunshine City up to now in a good way, it expresses that it is a place to take a step forward and embrace new values. <Our project members> [Sales/Project Management] Minami Hiramatsu [design, layout] Manabu Yamanobe, Noriaki Tamura, Kan Fujimura [Production/ construction] Takashi Kodama

In March 2021, NOMURA Co.,Ltd. Ltd. opened a new office in the Daiba Garden City Building adjacent to Head Office headquarters (Odaiba, Tokyo) that is suited to the new normal era. The company aims to encourage employees to communicate and demonstrate greater creativity while taking advantage of the diverse work styles and values of NOMURA Co.,Ltd. Group. In 2019, NOMURA Co.,Ltd. Group launched a group company base consolidation project with the aim of creating an environment in which employees can work together and demonstrate greater synergy. In response to the changes in work styles and social issues caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the company set three keywords, "health," "experiment," and "brand," and explored the nature of real office space in the new normal era to create "future work styles." - We believe that the function of the office in the new normal era will change from a "workplace" to an "innovative space that induces communication," where diverse human resources from inside and outside the company gather and actively exchange opinions and have chance encounters that are unique to the real world. Therefore, the communication space "RESET SPACE_2" was designed with the concept of "Unique Park" and was planned as a park-like space that any employee can use to suit their diverse and unique work styles. 100% fairwood is used. ・CONFERIUM is a proposal for a new conference room area, and is an attempt to "displays the behavior of working styles" that proactively shows unique meetings. The know-how used in displays spaces was applied to office spaces, such as darkening the common corridors to highlight the conference rooms as displays. ・Group addresses were adopted in the creative work area. In addition, the creative floor allows concept design work to be done while keeping in mind the "sense of concept design" such as the sense of scale and texture of materials, which are great strengths when concept design spaces. By clarifying the purpose, it became a low-cost and sophisticated space. This project was planned, designed, construction, and operated by NOMURA Co.,Ltd. Group.

NTT Anode Energy is a company that promotes smart energy projects utilizing the Group's ICT and DC power supply technologies, and we aimed to create an office environment that symbolizes an energy company representing the NTT Group. The scope of work included directing the entire project, coordinating with various architectural and facility works, and supervising the work, which required strict adherence to a schedule. The project was delayed from the original schedule due to a new type of coronavirus infection, but we shared the issues with the client and the project members worked together to resolve the problems. SOLUTION: We were appointed to the project in March, but due to the Corona disaster, we used online conferencing to promote the project. Online meetings were also held as necessary to discuss video content and plantings, to ensure communication and thorough schedule, quality, and cost management. ＜Our project members＞ [Development] Akihiko Nishimura, Akihiko Suganuma [Sales and project management] Fumiho Ohashi, Akihiko Nishimura [Planning concept design] Ryuichi Okuda, Toshio Yamamoto [design, layout] Toshio Yamamoto [Production planning] Akio Hiraishi [Production planning, production, construction] Akinobu Takahashi

Office integration project for five advertising media companies of Gree. The concept of this project is "creating an opportunity for interchange." This concept was born from the idea of "providing a place that creates opportunities for accidental encounters and communication." The entrance space, which is the face of the five companies, is set to change the color of the lighting for each time and scene through the glass bricks, making it a space where you can feel change and movement. When used for events, it is envisioned to create a party scene with the light rhythmed to match the sound. Inside the office, there is a place called "Breakthrough Base" that will be an opportunity for the five companies to interact. "Breakthrough" means "not just a relaxation space, but a place to open up the future and break through the current situation," and "Base" means "not just a place, but a base that gives the feeling of strength and planning something." The floor is divided according to the expected flow of traffic, and is planned to be an "interchange: a crossing road," and is used as a place for natural interaction between the five companies. The parts that come into contact with the hands are aged to give a sense of freedom, as if the sea breeze is hitting you in Shinjuku, where you can't see the sea. The plain selection of materials and the use of chairs of various concept design create a relaxing space that exudes warmth and looseness. With the idea of a fresh start, we also created a minimalist space without over-elaborating it. While creating a sophisticated and stylish space, we also sprinkled in photogenic spots, something that only a company that deals in social business can offer. We designed a stylish space that gives the expectation that something new might be born. <Our project members> [Sales/Project Management] Yotsuya Masanori, Murakami Kaori [design, layout] Ozawa Atsuko, Obana Keita

Head Office of Xcom Global, which has strengths in providing communication environments, including mobile internet for those traveling abroad. Mobile communication services create various relationships around the world, connecting people with each other and people with events. The chain of individual communications that transcends countries and generations eventually creates a global movement or spins into one large entity, reminiscent of a "forest" where the activities and connections of various living things give rise to the spread of more life. The infinite connections and possibilities that Xcom Global's business brings to the world are superimposed on the state of a rich forest, and concept design theme is the natural formations there, the memories of the forest's growth, and the beautiful appearance that changes with the time. For the walls, panels with a motif of overlapping silhouettes of trees are concept design as an element symbolizing the forest landscape, and the space is covered with them. The sunlight during the day and the lights after sunset cast soft shadows on the floor and walls through the openings in the panels, giving the impression of sunlight filtering through the trees, creating a forest-like scene even though it is located inside a high-rise building in Shibuya. The impressive tables and drink counters are concept design with the motif of tree rings as a memory of the growth of the forest. The curved metal plates are offset in a concentric pattern and assembled, with the tops made of transparent acrylic so that the structure can be seen. The layout plan divides the space into two areas: a reception area for welcoming visitors and a meeting area for business negotiations. Under the above concept design theme, we have devised ways to block the view and create transparency appropriate for each scene. [Client's Issues/Requests] We received a request to concept design a reception space and a business negotiation space with an atmosphere like that of a luxury hotel lobby. <Our project members> [Sales/Project Management] Kazushige Ishii, Kaori Murakami [design, layout] Yoshihiro Kitamura [Production/ construction] Ikuo Chikaishi, Tetsuji Koike, Takuya Kagawa

The food court at the Shanghai World Financial Center (SWFC), a landmark skyscraper in Shanghai, China, will be transformed into a relaxing place surrounded by "light" and "greenery" that supports food, work and interaction among office workers. We were in charge of concept design and schematic design at NOMURA Co.,Ltd. and working drawings and construction at NOMURA (Beijing) Co., Ltd. as the food court of Shanghai World Financial Center (SWFC), a landmark skyscraper in Shanghai, China, as a relaxing place surrounded by "light" and "greenery" that supports food, work and interaction among office workers.

The space was required to add value to the building by providing daily food support for over 10,000 office workers, as well as a place for office workers to relax, and an event space and conference room for seminars and social gatherings. The louvers were designed to visualize the "light" coming in from the ground and to create a series of scenes of "greenery" creeping up toward the light. The event space and meeting rooms (catering available from the food court) were planned as an integrated unit to attract customers even after peak lunch hours. <Our project members> Design: NOMURA Co.,Ltd.
