The smart lock QR1, known for its simple user experience and robust security, has been implemented in a community complex where people of diverse generations and backgrounds come together. Its adaptability and reliability have earned it high praise.
In April 2024, YAMAGA BASE opened its doors in Yamaga City, Kumamoto Prefecture. The facility’s story began when the closure of the 143-year-old Chida Elementary School was announced. An alumnus took the initiative to repurpose the building, envisioning it as a "secret base connecting the world."
Today, YAMAGA BASE hosts a variety of facilities: coworking spaces, shared offices, accommodations for workations or farm stays, dining areas, sports facilities, rental conference rooms, video production studios, and kitchen studios. Among these, QR1 plays a vital role, with nine units installed across the facility. The co-working spaces, shared offices, and accommodations all feature QR1 locks, enabling secure and convenient access via QR code.
One standout feature of YAMAGA BASE is its adoption of NFT-based check-in. An exclusive lounge area is accessible only to members who own NFTs of the original "Rokuranger" characters. The lounge is furnished with comfortable sofas and a large table, providing an inviting space for relaxation or collaboration. NFT holders can also subscribe to a monthly membership program, "by Member," which offers even more benefits. Yamaga residents with NFT ownership enjoy discounted pricing for facility use, making it a unique and inclusive space.
At YAMAGA BASE, sliding doors have been equipped with a QR1 and electromagnetic lock combination, enabling the preservation and reuse of the original infrastructure without significant alterations. This solution aligns with the project's mission to make the most of the former school building, reflecting the thoughtful approach to sustainable repurposing.
This innovation was made possible by QR1’s exceptional adaptability, which allows seamless integration with a variety of lock types, including automatic doors, electric locks, thumb turn locks, and Web API-compatible locks. Its flexibility ensures that diverse facilities can be secured efficiently while maintaining their unique architectural features.
Revitalized as a hub that transcends time, YAMAGA BASE now brings joy to its visitors while preserving its historical legacy. QR1 plays a pivotal role in realizing the vision behind this "secret base connected to the world."
