Gaku & Do! After School
A Place That Stimulates Children's Senses and Nurtures the Future.
Creating a New Form of After-School Program.
Serving as the main contractor, we handled the interior fit-outs and FF&E (furniture) works for "GAKu&Do!", an after-school program newly established within the Shin-Umeda Training Center in Osaka. Accurately reflecting the designer's intent, we constructed a space where children can naturally cultivate environmental awareness.
Within the facility, we actively utilized sustainably managed timber and repurposed materials that were slated for disposal. Throughout the space, we incorporated elements that inspire interest in the SDGs and a sustainable environment through hands-on experiences—seeing, touching, and feeling. Moving beyond a simple childcare facility, we realized the quality of a true "place to belong" that draws out children's creativity and offers peace of mind, all through reliable construction management and custom-made furniture.
