About the Project

Overview The popular brownie specialty store, with its flagship store in New York, has opened its first store in Japan. Unlike a regular retail store, this store is primarily for picking up products reserved online or over the phone. The store is a renovated wooden house tucked away in a residential area of Kyoto. Even the scratches left by the countless renovations that have been carried out so far have been treated as part of the store's atmosphere, and the cuteness that is characteristic of the brand has been expressed without completely replacing them.
Issues/Themes The goal was to create an efficient workspace that could be operated by a small number of staff, and one that would allow customers to feel the strong worldview of the brand.
Space Solution/Realization A compact layout was achieved so that staff can perform various tasks with small movements. The atmosphere is also different from the New York flagship store, and the building, furniture and fittings have been carefully styled to create a space that conveys the depth and flexibility of the brand, as if the owner, Ms. Patricia, had enjoyed renovating a house in Kyoto.
