About the Project

Overview Sunshine City Alpa is a four-floor shopping center located in the lower part of Ikebukuro's landmark Sunshine City. Our company was involved in the renovation of the common area on the second floor. As the common area passageway is treated as a public walkway, this floor was designed to be comfortable for everyone, not just those who come to shop, but for all other users, regardless of purpose.
Issues/Themes Taking into account the merchandising characteristics of this family floor, we wanted to create a space where the whole family, including children, can enjoy shopping.
Space Solution/Realization Based on the design concept of "A Stroll Through the Forest," rest areas, kids' play areas, and other facilities are scattered throughout the mall, creating an environment that is easy for families to shop in. In the kids' play area, a large 3D puzzle with an animal motif is installed on the wall, and other ideas are incorporated throughout the mall to encourage parents and children to have fun together.
