The Chinese restaurant "Kokutai Hanten" has long been a beloved tenant of the "Kyobashi Daiichi Life Building" in Chuo Ward, Tokyo. With the rebuilding of the building, it has relocated to the neighboring building across the intersection, "Kyobashi Souseikan," and reopened.
Facing Kyobashi Crossing and located just a few steps from Kyobashi Station on the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line, the Chinese restaurant is highly recognizable due to its convenient location, and it remains a popular Chinese restaurant with local people, both for everyday use and for customer service, just as it was before the relocation.
[Social issues/customer issues/requests]
As the relocation was due to the reconstruction of an existing store's building, the client requested that we maintain the same layout in terms of the number of private rooms and seats for the convenience of the kitchen and due to the high demand for banquets at the store.
[Solution]
Taking the layout of the existing store into consideration, we created a layout plan to fit the new store area, while also making improvements to improve usability in order to meet our customers' requests.
In addition, the store has moved from only having an entrance facing the street to now having two glass sides facing the road. In response, we used Chinese latticework effectively to ensure that the store is instantly recognizable as a Chinese restaurant, helping to increase customer recognition and improving the visibility of the interior, making concept design easier to enter.
In addition, lattice doors are used effectively to ensure privacy in the individual rooms, providing a solution to the conflicting objectives of privacy while still being visible from the outside.
