“home ground”

’Home ground’　refers to a place or field where one is familiar and can perform well.
HERO’S is a sports bar that aims to provide a space where anyone can come casually, feel secure, and serve as a home for everyone.

To achieve this, we considered creating a highly flexible space where customers can naturally communicate with each other while still securing their own personal time.

In practice, to foster connections between customers, we designed a setup where light lines are incorporated into the counters and tables, encouraging communication. The colors of these lights can also be freely changed. Additionally, to ensure that individuals can secure their own personal time, we installed highly directional speakers (allowing people to listen to different sounds from those nearby), creating a private space while still sharing the overall environment.

We hope this place grows into a home ground where each visitor can enjoy their favorite sports while sharing space and time with others.
