About the Project

Overview An antenna shop that conveys the charm of Ishikawa Prefecture's nature and traditions.
Located in the Tokyo Station area, which attracts Tourism from Japan and abroad, this shop, which conveys the charm of Ishikawa Prefecture's culture, has relocated and reopened under the concept of "feeling Ishikawa wherever you look and touch it." It features a spacious, one-floor space with high ceilings.
Issues/Themes Ishikawa Prefecture has a strong image of its glittering gateway, Kanazawa, but we will also carefully convey the deep charms of the prefecture, such as the traditional techniques and culture rooted in each region of Ishikawa, which stretches from north to south, the local materials born from the prefecture's harsh climate, and the food culture nurtured by its abundant nature.
Space Solution/Realization We have gathered all the "hidden, profound charms" found throughout Ishikawa Prefecture under a large umbrella that represents the "hospitality and compassion" of the people of Ishikawa Prefecture, creating a space that will make Ishikawa feel closer to you and inspire you to actually visit.
The diverse charms of Ishikawa are expressed through the installation of "Cha Bar," a bar where visitors can enjoy Ishikawa's rich food and alcoholic beverages, and "Ishikawa Discovery Wall," an exhibition that touches on the traditional culture and lifestyles rooted in the Kanazawa, Kaga, and Noto regions.
Design for Environment Cultural property Preservation Planning: The "Ishikawa Discovery Wall" area, which displays Ishikawa's traditional crafts, was designed to promote the appeal of the region.
The exhibition aimed to pass on culture and techniques by showcasing works by young Kanazawa artists and by showcasing works that combined contemporary art with traditional crafts.

Our policy is to "deal honestly and carefully with the client's thoughts and issues."
We handle Commercial Spaces mainly retail stores.
We not only create the shape, but also value the "experience" of how people spend their time there and the emotional fluctuations that arise.
We propose creating spaces with stories that will be deeply engraved in the hearts of visitors.
