About the Project

Overview Located on the 4th floor of the International Terminal 2 building at Narita Airport, this cafeteria has over 200 seats. Its concept is "The Lobby Park." The spacious interior, one of the largest in Terminal 2, offers the hospitality and relaxation of a hotel lobby and the open feeling of a park in the city. It is a space where visitors can relax and enjoy the satisfaction of having their own regular cafeteria.
Issues/Themes As a landmark in the center of the dining floor, we wanted to convey the charm of the space to everyone passing by. Also, because it is an airport, we wanted to create a space that is easy for everyone to use, as customers from all over the world visit.
Space Solution/Realization We aimed to Spatial Production a store with a moderately open façade that is welcoming and reassuring. The seating layout was considered with customer privacy in mind. At the same time, we designed the store with five different scenes in mind: Cafe, Dining, Terrace, Lounge, and Private, to accommodate how each customer wants to spend their time. Customers can choose their favorite seat depending on the occasion, creating a space where everyone can relax.
