THE PARK・ING GINZA

(Page 130)



THE PARK・ING GINZA opened in Ginza, trendy downtown in Tokyo. It is in the third and fourth basement of SONY Building, a landmark modern building. Interesting things about the shop is that it is directly open to a big parking lot. So the environmental design was inspired by the location. In a sense, parking lot makes an ideal space for shop, for it is composed of some small shop in shops and the interior elements are flexible. The shop interior seemingly looks like deserted space or remains but it gives off auto or something as a whole and it strongly bring shoppers of special taste in here. Now the shop attracts a lot of foreign travelers and the fact tells us something about what the shop’s allure is.
