[design concept]
The place was formerly a famous hip hangout. And we wanted to continue this artistic ambience.
In the daytime the dark glazed façade reflexes the passes-by and the elm trees that lines Omotesando, while highlighting the interior as the sun sets. Though each of 4 floors has its own design theme, they all linked by the use of skylights and open spaces. Often in Japan, the architect and the interior designer are brought in different times during the project and this can create conceptional misunderstanding. In this regard, the café was lucky having the architect, the interior designer and the construction company working together to realize a good design.
