Our company was responsible for the planning, design, layout, and construction of "Yao Daiichi Shokudo Isshoku," the employee cafeteria that opened on November 1, 2021, at Sharp Corporation's (hereinafter: Sharp) Yao Plant. In proposing the project, we focused not just on creating a stylish space, but on "a proposal that only Nomura could make," proposing a cafeteria that would serve as an internal branding space where people could discover "SHARP's essence" across organizational boundaries and generations, while also serving as an external branding space that could be experienced by visiting business partners and affiliated companies. We implemented three zoning areas: lunch, work, and salon, and designed the cafeteria not only as an employee cafeteria, but also as a place where people can relax, hold meetings with internal and external guests, and connect and communicate. A single red line (Sharp Red) runs through the cafeteria, representing Sharp's history to date and its future. For this project, we considered concept design that would preserve the characteristics of the Yao Plant, which has a history of approximately 65 years as a production base for white goods, while also ensuring hygiene. Furthermore, by utilizing the mezzanine floor, which was previously used for the production line of manufactured products, as displays space for SHARP's iconic historical products, we also implemented an SDG-oriented initiative that reduced waste and removal costs. [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] We received a request to create a space that would revitalize internal connections, as communication between business divisions was weak. [Solution] We proposed a space that could be used not just as a place to eat, but also as a "place to work" and a "place to relax." We also proposed displays past products as a "place where communication among employees can be revitalized and where they can feel and discover SHARP's history." <Our Project Members> [Sales/Project Management] Yui Takahashi [design, layout] Shota Umetani, Ryo Yamato, Yusuke Nakamura, Ayaka Miura [Production Management] Yoshitsugu Mukoyama ~Related Links~ [Announcement] ・ NOMURA Co.,Ltd.
