NEW SHOP & ENVIRONMENT
MIU MIU Aoyama

Herzog & de Meuron, the preliminary design architect of this store, thought this establishment as a home or retreat where visitors can spend comfortable time in there. No gaudy decoration on the facade but metallic planes of the exterior that has no resemblance to ordinary store and just reflects the passers-by in front of the front facade. The building itself is like a shiny metallic box and the slanted front roof of the building slightly comes off from the facade plane. Under the roof, you see the elegant interior with the details of copper, wood, and classic brocades, which is like a modern cage, contrasting the soft and hard material in a fusional way.

This tavern is located in Okinawa city. Interestingly, when you set up an establishment in Okinawa Prefecture, you will have to choose target customers either local people from neighborhood or tourists, as the business style differs upon the target. This project focused on the tourists and put emphasis on the Okinawan feeling and design motifs. Numerous traditional drums are displayed all over the surfaces of the projects from the facade to the back of the interior. Private rooms are surrounded by the drums and some other rooms look like insides of huge drums. A barbecuing corner and showcase for flesh vegetables and fish are impressive.

Classy but stand-up Japanese restaurant set up the first branch in Hong Kong. The environmental of the establishment used, in a visual style which people of Hong Kong love, five major materials of Japanese traditional art : hinoki cedar, earth, lacquer, paper and sumi. Lighting design emphasizes the contrast and the dark and the bright to accentuate the shapes of the decorations. A waiting bar area was designed upon a theme of “sake” appeals to S.N.S. users and the columns used motif of “masu”, a square wooden box for the flask and cups used to serve sake. The interior, at all, designed like a visualization of sake in a design grammar of subtlety and flamboyance.

Located in Ginza, Tokyo, this establishment is the first project of a Kouchi-Prefecture-based tavern company KURATADOU. They, for this tavern, everyday airfreight flesh fish and seafood from Kouchi Prefecture, to serve customers. As the floor area is quite small, the interior layout is minimum and workable. Top board of the counter is a rare solid lumber from Kochi and other details and decorations are also from Kochi. A wood wall coverage artwork represents a sea of Tosa city in Kouchi. The logo was made of sculptural members to express the shape of bonitos dynamically.

FOCUS
TOKUJIN YOSHIOKA KOU-AN Glass Tea House
（Page 190）
A teahouse KOU-AN Glass Tea House was designed by Tokujin Yoshioka and was installed on the stage of Seiryu-den, Shogunzuka in Kyoto. The project, constructed by glass and steel, shows different expressions with the time passage and change of seasons. “Free from the materialistic design and fused with the surrounding nature, the teahouse makes visitors experience various light”, says Yoshioka. He intentionally did not display kakejiku hanging scroll, flower arrangement that are all essential parts of the ordinary teahouse. Surprisingly he even did not use tatami mats. Also attractive is glass sculptures on wavy-patterned glassed floor and prism on the ceiling to present rainbow colors light, during the limited time, by means of sunshine. This is Yoshioka’s Japonism over all.
