A renovation project for Bosch Corporation's Shibuya Head Office. We were in charge of planning, design, layout, and construction to renovate one floor on the 10th floor into a communication space. From our experience of renovating the 4th floor of our Head Office building into a communication space "RE/SP", we thought it was important to create a mechanism for employees to interact. Based on the concept of "SCRAMBLE for MEET UP" (people gather, hatch new ideas, and then take off again), we designed it with the aim of creating a place where diverse employees can gather and interact on a daily basis. In order to express the mix through encounters and exchanges, just like in Shibuya, where Bosch's Head Office is located, we collaborated with various artists to create a space that allows people to interact with an open concept design. We also participated in the creation phase, such as logo concept design and event planning and management. [Customer's challenge/theme] We were asked to concept design a place where employees could interact from a different perspective than the office floor, with the aim of revitalizing communication within the company and creating innovation. [Solution] We proposed a spatial configuration that would allow each employee to regain their vitality and deepen their connections. Specifically, with the aim of creating opportunities for communication that transcends age and departmental boundaries, the area has been divided into six major functions, including a counter where people can have casual conversations over a cup of coffee, a place to sit and relax on sofas, and a space to move around and refresh. By proactively incorporating furniture and art that will spark communication, we also aimed to create a place where spontaneous ideas that are difficult to generate in office areas can be born. There is also a product displays that allows people to experience Bosch's DNA, making it a place that provides hints for creating innovation. <Our project members> [Sales and project management] Ishii Kazushige, Murakami Kaori, Shishihori Tomoyo [design, layout] Yamanobe Manabu, Hagiwara Mitsutaka [Planning] Masubuch Kenta [Production and construction] Koike Tetsuji

With the theme of "building bonds with customers," elements actually used at the logistics sites supported by Hino Motors, such as truck frames and cargo, were reproduced and applied to the interior. Long-term relationships with customers are Hino Motors' most important business, and this was the message they most wanted to convey to customers and employees. The space is filled with elements that only customers and Hino Motors employees would notice, allowing one to intuitively feel the atmosphere of a logistics site from every angle, while at the same time reaffirming the bond of co-creation between the two parties as they grow through their truck products. <Our project members> [Sales and project management] Yamamoto Izumiichiro [Direction] Yoshinaga Mitsuhide [concept design] Takeda Shinpei [Sign and graphic concept design] Takeda Shinpei [Production and construction] Katsura Ryuichiro, Kawabata Toshiaki

[Project description] JOURNEY OF SEGASAMMY - Sega Sammy's never-ending journey "Sega Sammy continues to travel in pursuit of our customers' dreams and excitement." We proposed an office environment that embodies this spirit, divided into two areas.設集約します。 English: 1) [Reception and meeting room area] A reception lounge that will pique your curiosity about travel, and a meeting room where you will travel around the world and make new discoveries every time you open the door. 2) [Dining room area] A space for food-centered communication that will "enhance the individuality and abilities of each employee and encounter a sense of fun" ■Background to the head Head Office relocation Head Office relocation project will consolidate Head Office functions of 20 group companies and 6,500 employees into a new office with the goals of promoting efficient group management, as well as strengthening cooperation between businesses and generating synergies by invigorating personnel exchanges. [Customer's challenges/requests] ■New style of communication within the company ■Create new situations by meeting new people ■Encourage change in work styles, and transform and invigorate the brand image. [Solution] ■Create a space that will stimulate a variety of communication, from personal private spaces to brainstorming spaces. [Three functions] "Increasing sensitivity" x "Comfort" x "Invigorating communication" = improving motivation and productivity. Communal tables and counters, places where strangers can dine side by side, provide a place for spontaneous communication, and create situations in which encounters with new people can lead to creative communication. <Our project members> [Planning and concept design] Takahashi Arata, Saka Nobuaki, Kanai Hiroyuki, Suzuki Fujie Node Shimizu Yoshiyuki, Takeuchi Erika, Kawasaki Motoya [Production] Takekawa Kenji, Shirahata Yuta [Sales and project management] Toyama Kiyoshi, Iwaki Ryota, Kono Mai

[Project description] This project renovated the second floor office area of a precut factory in Takaoka, Toyama Prefecture, into a reception, library lounge, and showroom. We aimed to create a space that fulfills the role and function of an office while making the most of the unique atmosphere of the factory. The concept is to understand the growth of trees and support people and wood to walk together, with the theme of "forests where people walk together" and "wooden spaces where people can live richly." [Customer's issues/requests] ●To create a creative space where people can gather and interact, with "wood" as the keyword. ●To create a mechanism that allows people to feel closer to wood by deepening their knowledge and understanding of wood and actually touching it. ●In addition to seeing and touching wood, we also consider wood education and contact with craftsmen by holding workshops. ●The wooden parts of wooden houses, mainly the structure, tend to be hidden by floors, walls, and ceilings in daily life, so it is difficult to be interested in them. In such a situation, we created a mechanism that allows people to feel the wood material itself, the processing technology, the manufacturing staff, and the product quality that Woody Parts processes with all five senses. [Solution] The reception area was designed to allow employees and visitors to view a deep space. The tables, lighting, and bookshelves that make up the library lounge symbolize this. The showroom uses mesh material on the walls so that displays walls do not interfere with the atmosphere of the former factory. Taking advantage of the spaciousness of the space, we have prepared presentation spaces for BtoB and BtoC. In order to allow for clear presentations, we planned a space that at first glance looks like an art gallery, with visuals of handicrafts and techniques rather than an explanatory showroom. We also placed importance on ease of updating information so that it does not become outdated over time. In the future, we aimed to create a space where "creating experiences" related to "living" will be born in addition to the traditional "making things" using wood in relation to "living". [Customer feedback] ●There has been an increase in topics that are not about products (things), such as the scent and texture of wood. ●There has been an increase in visitors from management, designers, and planners, rather than the on-site staff of existing housing companies. <Our project members> [Sales and project management] Takuya Kitai and Yoshiki Yamada [design, layout] Hiroaki Koshizen [Production and construction] Kentaro Hirano Photography: Nacasa & Partners Co., Ltd.

[Project Description] A samurai residence built over 140 years ago in Obi, a castle town with a long history in Kyushu and an important preservation district for groups of traditional buildings, has been converted into an office where visitors can experience the local culture. The overall concept is "Post-Heritage: Inheritance and Transformation for the Next Generation," and by clarifying the points that should be woven and the points that should be renewed, we are attempting a new way of connecting culture. We aimed to create a space that connects with the local community by interpreting the life of a former private home in a modern way. The concept design consists of two different spaces: a communication space with a large table made from the floorboards used in the former private home, and an open workspace with a counter facing the greenery through the opening. The gravel-covered earthen floor inserted between them is an intermediate area that connects both spaces and the outside and inside. The newly built "stepped deck" in the garden gently connects the inside and outside, and is used as a space for events where local people gather and to promote local products, making it a space that connects people, things, and events. [Customer feedback] By creating an attractive office space that allows you to experience the local culture, which is unique to this place, we have received positive feedback not only from local residents but also from many local governments and companies that are working on vacant houses, and this connection has led to new business development. <Our project members> [Development] Yamano Yasutoshi [Sales] Moenuki Toru [design, layout] Kawakami Yoichi, Takeda Shinpei, Shimizu Ryosuke

[Project Summary] A plan was made to build a new business support lounge in the Otemachi Park Building, which houses serviced apartments, with the aim of developing business support facilities to strengthen the functions of Marunouchi, an international business center. [Client's Challenge] As a business support lounge, the issue was what kind of functions would be necessary for the office workers to have a richer work life. In terms of concept design, the challenge was how to create a sense of concept design in relation to the historical landscape centered around the Imperial Palace, and in the sophisticated location of Marunouchi. [Solution] By providing additional functions for the lounge, such as work booths, phone booths, nap rooms for men and women, fitness center, shower rooms for men and women, and a nursery school, the facility became one that supports the various working styles of office workers. In terms of concept design, traditional Japanese elements and spatial creation methods were sublimated into modern concept design, creating a high-quality Japanese modern space that harmonizes with the historical landscape. <Our project members> [Direction] Ryu Kosaka [Sales and project management] Hisayasu Takenaka [concept design] Hirosuke Sasaki and Shohei Urata [FF&E] Kaori Sano [Architecture] Kiwamu Okamoto and Masataka Taenaka [Production and construction] Katsuyoshi Iwakura and Norihiro Urida

UNIQLO CITY TOKYO proposes a way of working inspired by the power of global cities and the connections between people. It is designed to fuse digital and analog elements in the best way possible, and to provide opportunities for dialogue through spatial tools that allow all employees working here to become agents of change. The architectural concept design and schematic design were carried out by the overseas design firm AWA. We assisted with working drawings (partial schematic design), interiors, electrical and air conditioning construction, signage, custom FFE work, and commercial work. At UNIQLO CITY TOKYO, all creative functions, including product concepts, research and development, concept design, and marketing, are concentrated on the top floor of the logistics warehouse, where approximately 1,000 employees work. The overseas design firm AWA's design concept is to "provide a space that encourages employees to explore and collaborate, and stimulates their imagination." Within this, what was required of us was to communicate closely with AWA, create working drawings, and coordinate with each of the related companies while meeting the set delivery deadline to deliver a high-quality office space measuring 16,000m2 per floor.

<Project Summary> This facility was planned and designed as a base for exchange and activities across business types and categories, operated by an affiliated organization of Mitsubishi Estate Co., Ltd. Aiming to realize a sustainable society for the next generation, the facility was named "3x3LabFuture" because the three elements of "environment," "economy," and "society" mesh like gears, and it is a "third place" that is neither a company nor a home. The purpose of the facility is to form various communities and create businesses that will lead to the future. <Client's Challenge> The client's challenge was to create a wide variety of gathering spaces where various business types and visitors, from one person to a large number of people, could interact and engage in activities, and to express the environmental advancement of the office facilities. <Solution> We planned and designed a space that can hold large seminars such as a "salon," a "communication zone" that can be freely moved and used, a "workshop kitchen" and a "future cafe" as exchange spaces using cooking as a medium, and a "wonderful corridor" where various displays can be held. All interiors materials, furniture, fixtures, etc. were selected with the environment in mind. <Our project members> [design, layout] Suzuki Echiyo, Onishi Ryo, Kosugi Kyoko [Production and construction] Marumori Yukio [Sales and project management] Kawai Shun

<Project summary> With the aim of providing employees with a place where they can better demonstrate their abilities, Sony renovated their employee cafeteria from the perspective of employee welfare. A buffet corner called "Buffet Island" and a "Relax Zone" were newly installed in Head Office employee cafeteria as spaces for "eating" and "resting", and we assisted with the spatial concept design. Sony employs a diverse workforce and respects each individual's work style, so at "Buffet Island" they offer a wide range of menu options and offer a wide range of take-out options, and as a result of the renovation, the number of daily users has increased by about seven times. The "Relax Zone" is a functional space that employees can use freely as they wish, and is used not only for mealtimes, but also as an individual workspace, a place for communication between employees, and to refresh oneself. <Our staff> Sales and project management: Abe Yuko design, layout: Ueda Kaoru Production and construction: Endo Jun

[Project Summary] Alpen Co., Ltd. is the largest sports retailer in Japan. Its sales are supported by its own brand products. In order to make its private label products more innovative, the company gathered its designers on one floor, and with the floor concept of "gather and create," they realized a "co-creation floor" where people can gather together, talk, stimulate each other, empathize with each other, and create new things. [Customer's comments] Because it combines concept design and practicality, I feel that it is not only a stylish space, but also has the equipment and functions suitable for each task. The desks are randomly arranged, so the overall feeling is very open. There is a stand meeting space in the center, which is very convenient when planning across groups, and we often use it. I feel that the electrical wiring is finely allocated, which also has the effect of saving electricity.
