The Building

The project entailed the design of two boutiques in Tokyo.

Concepts and resultant designs were driven by an attempt to impose the urban space with an out of context archetype.

Military typologies from the second world war were thus adopted for both the shops.

The structures coupled with the trademark red color of the company allows the boutiques to create a distinct retail identity without getting monotonous or predictable.

However unlike these, the boutique announces its presence through its stark red facade, emerging as a point of reference in the urban context.
