SHOP DESIGN
The Conran Shop Daikanyama
（Page 107)
The Conran Shop Daikanyama is located in Daikanyama, in the
Hillside Terrace designed by famous architect Fumihiko Maki. As
the world’s first ‘local, self-edited shop’, this shop focuses on
products from mostly Asia and Japan, which are bought by the
staff after talking directly to makers from all over Asia. The interior
is designed in such a way that customers can have the joyful
experience of discovering products as they move around the
shop, a mechanism that prevents them from overlooking the
space. On the basement floor, there is a gallery and a TEA BAR in
addition to the shop.

KYO AMAHARE / Kyou
（Page 112)
Proposing a ‘truly relaxing life’, AMAHARE is a shop that sells
vessels and art pieces. It is the second shop opened in a
traditional old townhouse in Kyoto, following the first one in
Shirokane, Tokyo. The shop was converted from a 130-year-old
house, and the original state of conservation was good, so the
design plan started with a study of what to change and what to
keep. The designers kept the existing set-up as much as possible,
rearranged the floor, and composed the interior mainly using
materials that change over time, such as Japanese paper and
wood. The warehouse at the back of the property was reused as a
tea salon ‘kyou’ serving tea and sake.

HANAJU
（Page 140)
This is a plan to renovate a flower shop established in the
neighborhood of Yanaka Cemetery, Tokyo, in the early Meiji era.
The site was lined with wooden buildings built in various styles
from the Edo, Meiji and Showa periods to the present day. The
designers focused on the wood frames common to all of these
buildings after determining which parts were to be retained and
which were to be demolished. A new steel frame was built on an
open space at the back of the site, referring to the wooden
framework’s dimensional system. This is the seating area for the
newly built café and also a frame for entangling plants. The store
is set up in a way that cleverly blends the inside and outside of the
building while utilizing the best of the old and the new.
