About the Project

Overview Commercial complex renovated from old sake breweries registered as a tangible cultural asset, constructed between Meiji and Showa Eras. Facilities consist of "Meiji Storehouse" for local souvenirs, "Taisho Storehouse" for local feast and "Showa Storehouse" for the sales of local vegetables etc.
Issues/Themes To realize facilities visited by both locals and tourists, by developing the appeal of the town of Kawagoe, and of the breweries that have history of more than 120 years.
Space Solution/Realization We have presented a total branding concept including floor layout (by inviting renowned local stores or by developing merchandising plan), interior design, corporate identity & visual identity design (logo, shop tools etc.). Commercial facilities not only visited by tourists but used daily by locals have been realized by integrating modern and urban taste.
