[Project Overview] Takashimaya Osaka Store is a historically significant modern building adorned with Corinthian columns and arches, located at the end of Midosuji Avenue. "Namba Dining Maison" is a three-story dining zone spanning the 7th to 9th floors, encompassing both the expanded section and the existing building. It required a blend of Takashimaya's characteristic "high quality and class" and Osaka's distinctive "liveliness and vibrancy." Therefore, the aim was to create a space that evokes the feeling of being in a historically significant building by scattering "memories of modern architecture" throughout the interior space. An original pattern based on the details of the building's exterior, constructed in the early Showa period, was concept design in a modern style and continuously applied to the three-story atrium and in front of the store facade to evoke a Western patio. Furthermore, the architectural exterior details were extended to various parts of the environment to create a sense of unity across the three floors, each with its own distinct scene.
