About the Project

Overview This is an experiential hub that spreads the Seiko brand to the world from the heart of Ginza, the birthplace of Seiko Watch. The first floor is a museum based on the concept of the inside of the clock tower of Wako in Ginza, and introduces Seiko's history and technology while tracing the history of Seiko Watch manufacturing. On the second to fourth floors, you can shop while experiencing Japanese "hospitality" in a space that expresses the worldview of the four main brands.
Issues/Themes To create a base that directly promotes the Seiko brand in Ginza, a place where people from all over the world come and go. To incorporate experiential content so that customers from Japan and abroad can experience and feel the charm of Seiko.
Space Solution/Realization The "MUSEUM" on the first floor is modeled after the interior of Wako's clock tower, and is an entrance space that is easy to enter even for customers who are not particularly interested in watches, with the aim of expanding the number of Seiko fans. The "BOUTIQUE" on the second to fourth floors is a room-to-room structure with a different worldview for each brand. The centerpiece is Spatial Production that allows visitors to experience information about each brand, surrounded by a counter that increases purchasing motivation by allowing visitors to actually see and touch the watches. Brand experiences that utilize digital technology, such as product information displays linked to tablet devices on each floor via customers' smartphones and a walking rally that takes visitors around the facility, are also provided, with the aim of creating Showrooms boutique that balances Seiko's brand communication and purchasing throughout the entire facility.
Design for Environment LED lighting fixtures were used, and after verifying the optimal lighting environment for each area, a plan was created to eliminate unnecessary energy loss.
