Boutique in VIORO in Tenjin Fukuoka. Client make me two contrary requests, one is open facade in order to invite guests and another is closed interior not to be seen from outside. As a solution, We constructed the closed shop like wrapped up that has a wide opened facade with a hanging diagonal wall to the opposite angle that also meets fire department's requirements in shopping mall. And this inclined facade wall crossing with elevator line made up a peculiar visual. The facade wall is covered with hundreds of copper sheets same size as the stone plates on the floor, Hundreds of copper sheets on the facade wall same size as the stone plates on the floor, gonna lose luster by touch of people who are interested in, and their color turns reddish-brown(It's only copper and bronze) by oxidation and corroding as time goes by. By reason that TRENT has established shops on streets by this time, I intend to create their brand image by using materials such as copper, stones, concrete blocks and scaffold just like other TRENT shops been done.

商業施設のブティック。クライアントからは人を引き込む開放的なファサードと、丁寧に接客するため外部からの視線が気にならない閉鎖的な店内という相反する要望を受けた。そこで幅のある間口に対し、商業施設では必須である防炎垂壁の存在を消しながら対角にある必然的な二点を結び、ある種フルオープンの特徴的なファサードを持ちながら、包まれるようにクローズされた店内をつくった。またこのファサードの傾斜は、共用廊下越しにあるエスカレーターの傾斜と交差し視覚的に特異なものとなる。そこには床の石と同サイズの銅板が一枚一枚貼られ、人々が手で触れる度に酸化・腐食することで光沢は徐々に鈍くなり、赤褐色へと銅ならではの変化をするであろう。またTRENTはこれまで路面中心に出店してきたセレクトショップで、従来通り外部で使われる素材を多用することでブランドをより強固にすること意識した。
