Approximately 1,000m²

communities, and information in the Yokohama area, and foster communication, leading to a better future and better living for the region. We aim to be a place where business co-creation is born. Background to the opening of the business co-creation facility and the involvement of UDS
With the diversification of lifestyles and the evolution of digital technology, new ways of thinking and movements toward the future are required and are beginning to emerge. In the Yokohama area as well, people and communities are starting up and working to tackle various local issues, but by supporting these people and organizations to connect and work together, we can increase the possibilities of their activities. I think the impact will spread further. And isn’t the location, which is directly connected to Yokohama Station, which boasts the highest number of railway companies in Japan and one of the highest passenger numbers in Japan, the perfect place for this purpose? From this perspective, Vlag has become a hub spot for the region, including not only Kanagawa but also the Tokyo area, and a place to support business co-creation for a better future and a better life.
The concept for yokohama has progressed.
Up until now, UDS has been involved in a wide variety of projects, including workspaces, hotels, and restaurants, from planning to design and operation from an end-user perspective, with an emphasis on connections with the local community. His achievements were recognized and Vlag
We have been involved in yokohama from the planning stage. We will organize regional issues, aspirations, and user needs, propose business plans, and provide space design and project management to realize them. After opening, we will operate the entire facility together with Sotetsu and Tokyu. .
space design
As a space that supports the creation of words and ideas, we used a lot of wood and used colors that were conscious of Yokohama’s sea, forests, and town, creating a design that is comfortable and gives you a sense of Yokohama’s history. Unique greenery has been installed throughout the property to encourage relaxation and refreshment that promotes communication. UDS handled everything from furniture selection, design, production, and delivery.
