The food hall "FOOD STADIUM TOKYO" is a food and beverage facility that combines entertainment and food hall, opened on the second floor of the yellow building in Tokyo Dome City. Located a two-minute walk from JR Suidobashi Station, it was planned with the aim of attracting new customers to the area. Our company was in charge of planning and concept, leasing cooperation, concept design and environmental department design, construction and furniture and fixture manufacturing. Inside the food hall, the lights are dimmed and neon lights shine, creating a space where adults can enjoy alcohol. In addition, sports and entertainment content is broadcast on the giant LED vision and many large and small monitors installed in the building. While experiencing the realism and excitement unique to an entertainment city, a wide variety of gourmet food is offered from 11 stores, with approximately 480 different seats to choose from.

This project is an urban redevelopment project for the east side area of Shibuya Station by Tokyu Corporation, and aims to create a new landmark building connecting Shibuya and Aoyama. We were in charge of consulting, leasing, furniture and fixture manufacturing, environmental features, building execution, and concept design criteria work. The name "Shibuya Akushu" expresses the desire to connect the streets of Aoyama (AOYAMA) and Shibuya (SHIBUYA) (X: crossing), and to create a facility that induces interaction in a place where a wide variety of people come and go. The meaning of "handshake (akushu)", which is a sign of greeting and friendship, expresses the way different people and cultures connect and mix in this place, and new value is created from there. The area where Shibuya Akushu is located, which stretches from Shibuya Station to Aoyama in the east exit area of Shibuya Station (hereinafter referred to as Aoshibu), is surrounded by major roads, which has hindered smooth movement to the surrounding areas, and because it is an office-centered area, there has been a problem of a lack of places where people can gather and create excitement. Therefore, this building is based on the concept of "TSUNAGI-BA," and aims to take advantage of the connection between the food and beverage zone of Shibuya 2-chome and the educational area of Aoyama, and become an icon of "Aoshibu," following in the footsteps of Shibuya's representative areas of Oku-Shibuya and Shibu-Minami. The building consists of commercial facilities on the 1st to 4th floors, and offices on the 5th to 23rd floors. The commercial floors will house 15 stores, including restaurants with new business formats and stores opening for the first time in the area, an art gallery, and a health check center, turning the Aoshibu area, which was previously just a pass, into a place of interaction where people can take a break and enjoy a meal.

Bridgestone has opened an innovation hub, "Bridgestone Innovation Park," in Kodaira, Tokyo.

We have also been in discussion with Bridgestone to carry out operation and spatial design based on behavioral science to lead people to the psychology they want to be.

Tokyu Plaza Harajuku "Harakado" is a new commercial facility that inherits and further develops the culture of the former "Harajuku Central Apartment." Located at the southwest corner of Jingumae intersection where Omotesando and Meiji Dori cross, it aims to be a new landmark and cultural hub in the Harajuku-Omotesando area, alongside Laforet Harajuku across the street and Tokyu Plaza Omotesando Harajuku "Omokado" diagonally across the street. We were responsible for the master plan for the entire facility environment, design, layout of each section, the concept and part of the planning for the facility's merchandising, tenant leasing for the food and beverage floors, and the design and construction of some of the restaurants.

This is the 15th directly managed store by Seiban, known for its "Tenshi no Hane" school bags. Each store is concept design with a unique concept that draws on the local characteristics of each town. There are many greenways in the town of Kohoku, Yokohama, that blend into the daily life of the area, and these greenways are not just roads but also parks where children can play. Therefore, the concept for this store is "SEIBAN GREEN PARKWAY", and by incorporating the organic curves of the greenways, green elements, and the various colors encountered in nature, we concept design a space that makes you want to go deeper.

As a symbolic project to improve the value of the Tobu Skytree Line, a commercial facility called "TOBU icourt" has opened in the Dokkyo University area. The facility is based on the concept of a place that offers "a comfortable life for everyone that satisfies the five senses of body and mind". Taking advantage of the characteristics of the area, which is home to educational and cultural facilities such as Dokkyo University and Matsubara Danchi Memorial Park, the facility has opened a total of 24 stores that meet the daily needs of diversifying lifestyles, including a major supermarket that offers food lifestyle suggestions. In addition, the facility will play a role as a base for promoting urban development that enhances the appeal of the area while further collaborating with the local government, residents, universities, and other local parties. It aims to continue to liven up the area through new connections born from exchanges through events with the facility, such as holding events in the adjacent park. We were in charge of the development planning, leasing, concept design /design supervision, facility naming, and logo development for this facility.

Benoit Niant Ginza is a chocolate brand created by Kaneka Corporation. The store is the first flagship store in Japan for the chocolate brand Benoit Niant, which was launched in 2005 by Belgian cacao craftsman Benoit Niant, a former engineer. It is a place to acquire new fans in Japan and also functions as a base for Kaneka to promote the brand. Benoit Niant is known for its single-origin chocolates made from cacao from a single farm and variety, and produces everything from roasting to the finished product in its own workshop. The spirit and philosophy of "CRAFTSMANSHIP," born from the desire to be a "cacao craftsman" before being a chocolatier, was reflected in concept design of this shop. concept design elements were extracted from the scenery of a Belgian workshop, and colors and textures such as the blue of the conching machine and the bronze of the scales were incorporated as concept design elements to set new key colors for the brand in Japan. In addition, Kaneka's product "Kaneka Organic Light Emitting Diode (Kaneka OLED Lighting)" was used for the interior lighting, adding the function of a showroom. Kaneka OLED Lighting is characterized by its soft light emitted from a surface and the fact that it is unlikely to cast shadows on objects. We concept design a space that serves two purposes: as a chocolate shop and as a lighting showroom.

The all-day dining restaurant "Balcony by 6th," based on the concept of "a balcony in the city," and the bar lounge "The Lovers' Lounge" for "lovers" have opened on the third floor of Azabudai Hills Tower Plaza. The long-loved "6th by Oriental Hotel" in Yurakucho has been reborn as a comfortable dining space that is more accessible to many people, with the theme of inheriting history and harmonizing with the new city. "Balcony by 6th" has an open and comfortable terrace overlooking the Azabudai Hills area, and a botanical atmosphere, offering a unique view of greenery blending into the city. This all-day dining restaurant with about 200 seats can be used for lunch, cafe, dinner, and bar, and serves Italian-based international cuisine created in an open kitchen. The "classical and oriental" taste reminiscent of "6th by Oriental Hotel" has been reinterpreted. A variety of places have been created by incorporating the elements and colors of the surrounding environment, providing a relaxing place where users can enjoy themselves freely according to the situation. The Lovers' Lounge is a bar lounge for lovers. It is adjacent to Balcony by 6th and is a place of relaxation where you can think and talk about the things you like as much as you like. It is a place to meet before a meal or spend some time after a meal, and you can casually enjoy a glass of carefully selected Japanese whiskey from all over the country and a wide variety of signature cocktails. The interior of the store, where you can enjoy carefully selected cocktails and whiskey in a rare, relaxed space within a commercial facility, also has an antique aspect, as some of the interior was used in 6th by Oriental Hotel.

This is the first overseas branch of the Chinese restaurant with the most Michelin stars in China.

This is the concept design and planning work for the Kuwait store of "%ARABICA", a coffee shop brand from Kyoto. The store is located in a place overlooking the Jaber Al-Ahmad International Stadium, the largest stadium in Kuwait, which can accommodate 60,000 people and is used for international competitions. Therefore, we focused on the rare location where the stadium, a landmark that characterizes the surrounding area, can be dynamically viewed directly from inside the store, and reflected this in the spatial concept design. We extracted the three elements that characterize the stadium - the "oval shape" of the exterior, the "membrane roof" that keeps out rain and wind while letting in a moderate amount of natural light, and the "framework" that is lightweight and also serves as a structure - and incorporated them into the space to create an affinity.

This is the design, layout work for the first Philippine store (Manila) of "%ARABICA", a coffee shop brand from Kyoto that has cafes all over the world. Since they have cafes in various countries around the world, they are required to incorporate the elements and culture of the place into the space to create a unique store. This store has a futuristic space that shows the future of Manila, which continues to develop in Asian countries with growing economies. In order to guide customers to the back of the store, a three-dimensional curved mirrored counter is placed to match the gently curving shape of the long and narrow site. The floor and walls are also made of the same material, which reflects the entire space and echoes the shape of the counter, creating a futuristic spaceship-like composition that suggests the near future of Manila.
