Air Water Hokkaido's new facility, "Air Water Forest," is an open innovation facility that tackles social issues to "achieve a sustainable society" and "achieve a safe, secure, and prosperous lifestyle." Restaurant and cafe "Eureka" was created within this facility as a place to disseminate and share "agriculture and food," one of the Air Water Group's initiatives. The space was developed in collaboration with the architectural concept design so that the concept of the facility, "sustainable and prosperous lifestyle," could be felt in the restaurant. Like the restaurant's name "Eureka" (which means "I found it! I understand it!" in ancient Greek), concept design allows customers to discover the rich land of Hokkaido and the natural deliciousness of the ingredients that grow there.

This is a renewal of the entire store and environment area from the building entrance to the lobby (large hall) of the Takarazuka Grand Theater, which is celebrating its 111th anniversary. Based on the concept of "Dreams start here," we aimed to carefully inherit the charm of the Takarazuka Grand Theater that has been cultivated so far, and to create a space that will continue to deliver dreams to many customers and be loved in the future. From the moment you step inside the building, you will be enveloped in the glamorous world of Takarazuka Revue, and it is a space where you can experience the "extraordinary feeling" and "exhilaration" that leads to dreams and excitement. By unifying concept design of interiors environment and creating the world of Takarazuka Revue throughout the building, we planned a space that will make the time before and after the show more comfortable, and that customers who are not going to the show can also enjoy. By extracting motifs that represent "Takarazuka-ness" from the elements of Takarazuka Revue's stages and shows and the building of the Grand Theater and reconstructing them as modern concept design, we have created a space that will be loved even more by existing fans and will attract new fans, leading to an increase in brand value with an eye on the future of Takarazuka Revue.

Based on the theme of "from the mountain to the table", the restaurant will bring out the original flavor of the ingredients through wood-fired cooking, and serve simple and innovative flavors. Guests can casually enjoy authentic Italian cuisine, including a lunch buffet featuring carefully made handmade bread and steaks baked in a wood-fired oven. The restaurant will also feature "BAR ROJY", where you can casually enjoy authentic cocktails and rare old whiskeys, and "Kogasaka Bake Sagami Ohno", where you can purchase freshly baked bread and baked goods, proposing a free, warm and unique restaurant experience to the people of the city.

This is a renovation project for a permanent comprehensive sales gallery that will act as a base for communicating information about the housing brand "Gracia" developed by Sotetsu Real Estate, where customers can experience the brand's worldview through actual properties and video. The Sotetsu Line, which is deeply rooted in the Yokohama area and is loved by many, is now connected to the Tokyu Line through mutual direct service, improving convenience. As a result, the salon was opened in Shin-Yokohama, which functions as a hub connecting Yokohama, where Sotetsu Real Estate is based, with other prefectures, making it easy for customers living in the city center to visit. The facility includes a lounge where events can be held, a presentation room where each property can be experienced in VR, and a concept room that expresses the "quality" of the Gracia brand.

This is the first drive-thru project in Asia, named "% ARABICA", located in a natural park in the center of Pantai Indah Kapuk (PIK), an artificial island in Jakarta, Indonesia, which is experiencing rapid development. The structure is composed of two different buildings intersecting with each other. One of the buildings has a round glass façade and a structure that has been stripped down to the bare minimum, which pursues a sense of openness and visual spaciousness, while creating an open space where the bustle of the store can be felt from the outside. In contrast, the other building is a closed space with a massive structure that provides privacy and facility functions, clearly organizing the roles of each building. The layout of the roasting room, coffee counter, and customer seats radiates from the center of the circle to the outside, allowing the baristas to have a view of the entire store while roasting and serving are the main focus. On the other hand, the line of sight from the guests is naturally directed toward the outside view, which is considered to prevent the lines of sight from meeting each other too much, providing a special time to enjoy coffee while looking at the lush natural park with a 360-degree panoramic view.

BLUE YARD is a complex store that seamlessly connects three business types: a dining area, a cafe stand, and a record shop, and was born in the food and beverage zone "Baltica 03" in the station building "Innogate Osaka" directly connected to JR Osaka Station.

We were in charge of design, layout.

Our company was in charge of an antique watch specialty store with a repair workshop facing Nakadori Street in Marunouchi. Antique watches have been passed down over time, with the memories and stories of their owners hidden inside them. They hold the memories of bygone eras, but at the same time, they also tell stories for the future as they mark new times. concept design theme of CARESE Marunouchi is to visualize this invisible "time". The color of the brass foil on the wall is gradually changed, and the brass's changing appearance over the years is superimposed on the transition of antique watches over time. In addition, stone is used for the fixtures in the center to express the process of being polished from its rough natural appearance, and its rich expression also gives the space a sense of "time". We aim to create a store that will be deeply engraved in the memories of visitors in the sophisticated streets of Marunouchi.

"Shibuya Sakura Stage" is a project that will complete the urban infrastructure of the Shibuya Station area as part of the redevelopment of the area around Shibuya Station, which is said to occur once in a century, and will create a new, next-generation landmark that will inherit the culture of the Shibuya Sakuragaoka area and serve as a base for communication.

The tenant areas located on the lower floors of Tokyu Kabukicho Tower, which was built as a complex entertainment facility, were concept design as an integrated space with no boundaries between the common functions and the tenant areas, in an open plan that seamlessly connects to Cinecity Plaza. concept design concept is MOVE. In the center of the atrium space is a stage for nurturing young creators, where the creators emerge above the infinitely reflected flowing light. In the atrium between the floors, a video is played that wraps around the audience, reflecting on the ceiling surface to create a sense of rising. The flowing light is directly connected to the escalator wall, inviting visitors to the upper floors. The entire facility is open, and by moving freely around, various scenes unfold, creating a unique spatial experience. This project aims to add a new side to the Shinjuku Kabukicho area, creating a more generous town that accepts all kinds of individuality.

The largest facility in Yokohama's Izumi Ward, this large-scale commercial complex was built within the 24-hectare Izumi Yumegaoka District Land Readjustment Project. It is an interactive commercial facility that takes advantage of the abundant natural and agricultural resources of the Yumegaoka area, offering a variety of experiences such as food, activities, and education and culture. The first floor is a floor that connects customers with the local community through food experiences, the second floor is a floor focused on fashion and lifestyle, and the third floor will have a food court and a large cinema complex. In addition, the facility aims to become a hub for the local community, and has created an exchange space that meets a wide range of needs. On the rooftop, there is a plaza called "Sonyan Park" with play equipment based on the Sagami Railway character "Sonyan," and a place where customers of child-rearing age can interact with each other. It is not just a place to shop, but also a place to create new value as an experiential exchange hub that makes use of local resources.

Azabudai Hills was born as a redevelopment project that took about 35 years to complete, and its theme is "Green & Wellness," with the concept of "Modern Urban Village, a town surrounded by greenery and like a 'plaza' that connects people." It was born as the "future form of Hills," with a vast central plaza at the center of the town and a highly integrated mix of diverse urban functions such as offices, residences, hotels, international schools, commercial facilities, and cultural facilities. The approximately 150 commercial facilities spread throughout the lush green area aim to enrich and create daily ways of working, living, and lifestyles. In particular, the commercial area that spreads over the lower floors of Tower Plaza is positioned as the center of the town, with a commercial area of approximately 2,800 tsubo, facing the central plaza, and a three-story atrium space. In this environmental plan, the motif of "FABRIC" is used down to the materials and details as an element to harmonize with the town, attract visitors to the upper floors, and encourage movement within the floors. The soft curves of the space create a comfortable, high-quality atmosphere, providing an appealing spatial experience that suggests a truly enriched lifestyle for the coming age.
