山口県美祢（みね）市の豊かな自然に囲まれた大嶺酒造併設のカフェ・レストラン＆ショップ「Uvale!（ウバーレ）」。既存のオフィス・カフェ空間を再構築し、梁や柱を活かしたレイヤー状の構成によって、ショップ・飲食・酒蔵を緩やかにつなぐ計画としました。柱の配置や天井の高さを細やかに調整することで、開放感を保ちながらも各エリアを自然に区切り、多様な滞在体験を創出しています。また、開口部を拡張することで、自然光が差し込む心地よい環境を実現しました。さらに、地域に見られる石州瓦を想起させる赤茶色を鉄骨や素材に取り入れ、立体的に配置した植栽と共に、窓外に広がる美祢の田園風景と呼応する空間を構築しています。自然と建築、酒造りの営みが緩やかにつながる場を目指しました。

日本発祥ブランドであるYAKINIKU JUMBO（焼肉ジャンボ）のインドネシアフランチャイズ1号店です。ポストコロニアル様式が色濃く残る建築が建ち並び、趣のあるジャカルタ グナワルマンは、ハイエンドでトレンド感のあるエリアとされています。強い日差しやスコールを避けるための工夫がなされ、湿気を考慮し風通しをコントロールしてきたジャカルタの建築特性から、「風」というテーマを掲げ、JUMBOのブランド背景を掛け合わせて空間を構成しました。日本家屋において雨避けや遮光、風通しをコントロールしてきた「簾（すだれ）」を纏った建築は、風と光を適度に取り入れます。また、縁側的通路や中庭などによる視線が抜けるゾーニングや、フワッと風が吹いたようなディテールからは、風の存在を感じ取ることができます。

Sano Service Area in Tochigi Prefecture has finally reopened after its long-awaited renovation. Our company, under the supervision of our group company Nomura Arcs (which handled the construction), was in charge of the design and planning. We maximized the advantages of the service area's rich natural environment and the fact that visitors can walk between the inbound and outbound lanes, and carried out a renovation that envisioned the entire service area as a single "park." It has been reborn as a relaxing space where visitors can spend their time as they please. The commercial facilities are themed as "An Inspiring Market Where You're Sure to Discover Something New," and are designed as a place where visitors can experience local food, specialties, and culture. Under the design supervision of Kengo Kuma & Associates, we emphasized a sense of unity and openness between indoor and outdoor spaces, creating a space that warmly welcomes visitors.

This flagship store translates YOKO CHAN's aesthetic of stripping away ornamentation to highlight the inner self and body of the wearer into a tangible space. Located a step away from the hustle and bustle of Roppongi, it aims to be a tranquil space where visitors can be freed from the noise of information and confront their own bodies and senses. In addition to sculptural forms and soft, curved plaster walls, the designer personally visited the production areas to find veneer and chunks of cedar root that had long been stored in warehouses, which were used as symbolic fixtures. The flowing curves drawn from the stone and wood grains are derived from the inner beauty of women that the brand cherishes.

For this first commercial facility development in the Komazawa area, we provided project management support for all aspects of the development, including facility concept, floor merchandising planning, tenant leasing, and opening preparation support.

This is a project by "%ARABICA" that has relocated and reopened in Plaza Indonesia, a shopping mall in the heart of Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia. Jakarta is dotted with circular plazas, and among them, "Bundaran HI," located in front of Plaza Indonesia, is one of the most iconic landmarks in the city. As the new store is located in the center of the mall's basement floor, it adopts a striking circular layout inspired by the plazas represented by Bundaran HI. The open configuration, which does not obstruct the view, welcomes visitors from all directions. Furthermore, the entire space is covered with white and terracotta Chemex-type handmade tiles, inspired by the white walls and orange tiled roofs of the colonial style that remains strong in Indonesia, creating an impressive space that stands out in the center of the floor.

This project involved the relocation of the first store (Minamimachi-dori store) of the popular patisserie "kazunori ikeda individuel" located in Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture.

We incorporated Ikeda's commitment to authenticity and playfulness into the space, creating a composition that gives a sense of three-dimensionality and depth, while also creating a space that elegantly and impressively showcases the products.

In line with Bic Camera's policy of moving beyond the mass-market retail model, we transformed their store from a manufacturer-driven, spec-based sales floor into a new type of store where customer-centric experiences and discoveries are born. Our group consistently produced this new store from conception to implementation. While inheriting the traditional, voluminous display style, we reconfigured the space across various categories, from home appliances to general merchandise, centering it around multiple lifestyles. We created a store experience where customers can find scenes in their lives that interest them, touch the products, and try them out thoroughly, ultimately discovering exceptional items that match their own values. From a place to "buy" to a place to "discover." In Ikebukuro, a fiercely competitive area for home appliance retailers, we created a hub that offers new value beyond the conventional framework.
