About the Project

Overview As part of a project to realize the Yazaki Group's future of innovative manufacturing, this innovation facility was established within "Y-CITY," a key base for the group.
Based on the facility's concept of being "a practical hub for inheriting history and experimenting" and "a hub for exchange that weaves the future and showcases it," we have created a design, functionality, and exhibition space that embodies the four themes of "experimentation, relaxation, exchange, and returning to basics" to the fullest extent.
Issues/Themes Designing and implementing spatial layouts, exhibits, furniture, and facilities that weave together the activity and experience stories of diverse users, including not only Yazaki Group employees, but also external partners, customers, and students.
Space Solution/Realization We delved into the "adventure" spirit that underlies Yazaki Group's manufacturing philosophy and established a visual identity (VI) that serves as the design motif for the facility.
Furthermore, the space incorporates exhibits and features that connect the Yazaki Group's identity, such as its "corporate principles" and "Yazaki spirit," to a shared understanding. The design aims to allow each individual working at this facility to fully exercise their adventurous and challenging spirit, and to create value that is needed by society.
Sustainable design Circular Design: We used recycled plywood "NOITA" for the building's signage. We also designed custom-made furniture that utilizes lava unearthed during the construction work.

Planning Direction

Rentaro Maebashi

I primarily plan exhibition spaces for museums, corporate museums, and other similar institutions.
While we certainly strive to capture the appeal and interest of the information we want to convey, we also value working closely with our clients to consider and passionately think about "what kind of space it should be?" in order to imbue the space with the message they want to convey. Without being bound by the concept of an "exhibition," we create spaces where visitors can enjoy the materials, experiences, and the space itself, and where they will want to share their experience with others.

Main Achievements
