Our company was responsible for everything from interiors and sign design to construction, and has been steadily promoting the renewal of a total of 18 floors since 2019. The objective of this project was to increase the value of the building by revamping the common office spaces, leading to the attraction of tenants. To achieve this, we incorporated a good balance of materials that combine hardness and softness, and established concept design concept of a "semi-private space that connects private and work spaces." The richly textured interiors finishes created an office environment that was comfortable for tenants and attractive to companies, contributing to the enhancement of the building's value.

The renovation of the first and second floors of Barneys New York's Ginza flagship store was based on the concepts of "memory" and "creation." The goal was to create a space that respects the brand's long-standing traditions (memory) while generating new value (creation). While utilizing existing fixtures such as muted wood-grain walls and niches, the design combines sustainable materials, materials that blend naturally into existing finishes, and unique, symbolic fixtures to create a fusion of timeless sophistication and provocative humor. The watch workshop at the back of the first floor was designed as a "visible customer service" space, and a semi-private meeting space with a private feel enhances the experience during the visit. Furthermore, the newly installed cafe counter was designed to be visible from the outside, aiming to attract new customers. Proceeding to the second floor, connected via the central staircase, mirrored walls at different angles are installed to bring the entire floor into view, creating a symbolic look. Furthermore, a display was placed in front of the vintage area at the back to enhance attraction and traffic flow. Within a short construction period and limited budget, we proactively repurposed existing fixtures and quickly verified them using point cloud data, resulting in a solid concept design proposal. The project created an iconic, luxurious space that is uniquely Barneys, preserving tradition while pioneering the future.
