About the Project

Overview In addition to Sekisui House Innovation & Communication Co., Ltd., research and development staff from Sekisui House Co., Ltd. are also on-site, making this a "place of value creation" where industry, government, and academia come together.
In order to solve social issues related to "housing and lifestyle," Sekisui House's core business, we will induce innovation, create new businesses, and develop human resources.
Issues/Themes As this is a place where employees of various partner companies and group companies can gather and connect, it will be an environment where they can experience Sekisui House's vision of "homes and lifestyles" and foster natural communication between users.
Space Solution/Realization The entrance incorporates elements of a home, such as a welcoming roof and solid wood flooring, creating a space that evokes a comfortable "home and lifestyle" for visitors.
Additionally, the wood used for the furniture and fixtures, as well as the building materials and products of the Sekisui House Group, were used for the wall materials, creating the impression that this is a facility that brings together the knowledge of the entire Sekisui House Group.
The fixtures are movable, making the space flexible enough to accommodate a variety of communication styles, including group work and events.
Design for Environment At the building materials procurement stage, Sekisui House Group uses dried oak wood, which cannot generally be used as building material, for signs and counter fixtures. The pinholes and discoloration peculiar to dried oak wood are displayed as the unique characteristics of the wood, promoting sustainable efforts.
