About the "MUJI x UR Housing Complex Renovation Project"
1. Project Introduction
Urban Renaissance Agency, which has pursued the standard of Japanese living, and MUJI HOUSE Co., Ltd., the living space business of Ryohin Keikaku Co., Ltd., the operator of the MUJI business, which provides homes as "vessels of life" that can be loved and used for a long time, collaborated to launch the "MUJI x UR Housing Complex Renovation Project" in June 2012 in order to set a new standard for rental property renovation in today's diversifying Japanese lifestyles.
Based on communication with customers through online columns and other means, this project utilizes the housing complex's positive history while tackling the renovation based on the concept of "not destroying too much, not creating too much," so that many people can continue to live in it comfortably for many years to come.
2 Housing complexes targeted by the project
The MUJI x UR Housing Complex Renovation Project, which began accepting applications for three housing complexes in the Kansai region in 2012, has been implemented in nine housing complexes (13 plans) in 2020, bringing the total to 52 housing complexes. For details about the housing complexes targeted, please visit the "MUJI x UR Housing Complex Renovation Project" website.

3 About the MUJI x UR jointly developed parts
In this project, parts jointly developed by UR Urban Development Agency and MUJI are used in the renovated apartments as items that allow you to customize your lifestyle to suit your own style. Of these jointly developed parts, the hemp tatami mats can be purchased at select MUJI stores, so they can be used for home renovations and DIY projects.
Portable Kitchen
A counter kitchen designed specifically for wall-mounting. Since it has no legs, you can use the space underneath freely.
Semi-Transparent Sliding Doors
Semi-transparent sliding doors that don't feel oppressive. They divide the space while allowing soft light to pass through.
Bathroom Vanity
A simple bathroom vanity that fits into any space, and by utilizing the space underneath, you can freely create storage space.
Hemp Tatami (sold at select MUJI stores)
These hemp tatami mats can be used to create a Western-style room by placing furniture on them. They are both soft to the touch and durable.
Combination Kitchen
A kitchen where the kitchen and table are the same height, allowing for flexible combinations.
Lauan Plywood Flooring
Lauan plywood is used as flooring. It's a large size, measuring 30 x 180 cm, and finished with UV coating.
Birch Plywood Flooring
This is a hybrid plywood flooring made from birch and cedar. By using birch for the surface and cedar for the plywood base, we have reduced the warping often seen in solid wood.
