TOTO Technical Center Tokyo, a place to collaborate with business users to create future water-related spaces based on the concept of "Co-Creation," reopened on Monday, April 15, 2024.

The concept of this renewal is "Fine & Flow. It expresses "free, delicate, and beautiful water behavior and seamless transitions. We aimed not only to convey the commitment of water-related professionals and the reliable quality of TOTO products, but also to provide facilities and an appearance suitable for co-creation and a facility that offers proposals that are appropriate in the digital age.

Takram designed the concept and UX for the facility experience, architect Takashi Nakahara designed the space concept design, WOW designed the UX/UI for the digital experience, and NOMURA was responsible for the overall design and construction and system development.

Brand Wall
As a hospitality space where visitors can learn about more examples, we have strengthened the interactive communication function, and on the large touch panel monitor and tablet, we will introduce proposals using over 3,000 images and the history of public water areas. All of the previous displays of construction example photos have been digitally managed again, making use of the large screen to improve viewability and updateability.
Additionally, in the concept movie featuring generative art, water particles change based on the themes of "Flow," "Planet," "City," and "DNA."


Technology displays Corner
A place where you can experience TOTO's core technology. With this renewal, displays use digital technology to make it easier to understand the mechanisms of sustainable products that are "clean," "comfortable," and "environmentally friendly."
We designed interiors to embody the spatial concept design concept and constructed modular displays fixtures. We also developed a new app for tablets, and construction a system environment that made it easier for presenters to give explanations, including displays where you could actually run water through the actual equipment and linking it to monitor images placed in various locations. Furthermore, we introduced a CMS to manage the content owned by TOTO, which improved the updateability of displays.

You can also see our proposed layouts for existing products in spaces that suit different uses. Some of the equipment can be checked for usability with water running through them, and we were in charge of design, layout, production, and construction of this space.
