FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Sugata, an Online Home Autosuggestion ServiceImplementing a Feature for Visualizing Interior Design Image Customizations
Enabling users to better experience the best part of renovation—the fun of customization

Renoveru, Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Founder & CEO: Tomohiro Yamashita;
hereinafter "Renoveru") is Japan's top company that offers a one-stop service for finding resale
apartments, renovation, and creating renovation platforms using technology. In late October,
Renoveru will implement a visualization feature to their online home autosuggestion service,
Sugata. This feature allows users to view a CG image of the materials they choose whencustomizing the style of their home on Sugata applied to an image of an LDK (an apartment thatcomprises a living and a dining area and a kitchen). This enables them to visualize thecustomizations they make to their interior design image.

Sugata is an online home autosuggestion service that can be used by the customers of the
one-stop renovation service, Renoveru. In the version updated in March 2021, more styles wereadded to Sugata and the material variations increased by 10 times, improving the customization
feature.
On the other hand, we would sometimes receive feedback from users saying that it was difficult forthem to choose the material because they found it hard to imagine how the materials would lookwhen combined with the style they had already chosen. They also said that even if they chose thematerial in Sugata, they could not get a clear picture of the end result because the material was
not applied to the style and image.
The new feature, which visualizes the interior design customization images, applies the selectedmaterials to a CG image of an LDK in real-time. This has made it easier for the users to get apicture of the end result, and allowed them to better enjoy the customization process, where thereal joy of renovation lies.
We exclusively released this feature to a selected group of our customers in July 2021 in an alphaversion and received their valuable feedback. The majority agreed that this feature helped themvisualize their home, which is the main purpose of Sugata. However, some stated that there are
only a few styles and parts that can be visualized, making the customization feature lesssatisfying. In the beta version that we plan to release in late October, we will double the number ofstyles available and add more variations to expand the customization range.
The Sugata project has two main aspects: improving the quality of the home building experiencefor customers and solving problems in the design and construction industry. Using technology,
Renoveru will continue to strive toward achieving its mission of helping people take a smart
approach to creating an enjoyable home life.

Masahiro Shibata
There are still not many people who consider renovation as an option when buying a new home.
This is because some people find renovation to be a hassle or find it difficult. However, renovation
comes with the great added value of customization, a feature that is not available in built-for-sale
homes. I believe that enjoying this feature is one of the great benefits of renovation.
We will continue to improve Sugata's features to have our customers experience the joy of easily
customizing their homes and support building homes that best suit them.
