After extensive research by a former professional soccer player (Tim Brown) and a biotechnology expert (Joey Zwillinger), Allbirds successfully developed innovative and sustainable shoes using natural materials such as merino wool, eucalyptus, and sugar cane, and the lifestyle brand Allbirds was born. Founded in San Francisco in 2016, Allbirds landed in Japan in 2020, and following the Harajuku store, its second store in Japan, the Marunouchi store, opened in June 2021. We supported Allbirds from the design stage as their local architect. By obtaining a plot for two stores, the wide glass facade allows sunlight in and the inside of the store can be seen from Marunouchi Nakadori, making it easy for customers to enter and creating a bright and open space. There are two entrances, a unique door handle in the shape of a large wooden foot, and a lineup of T-shirts, loungewear, and performancewear made from natural materials in the center of the store. The shoes are displayed by type according to material and function, and the interior is simple yet playful, with cloud-shaped mirrors on the floor and walls, and solid wood chairs that tilt to make it easier to try on the shoes. [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] The client requested that they faithfully create the world view of a global brand with about 35 stores around the world, communicate closely with the person in charge in San Francisco, the home country, and handle all work from schematic design stage to completion as a single company. [Solution] We provided comprehensive management, including resolving legal issues related to the design, negotiating with developers, procuring materials, working drawings, construction and schedule/cost management, and coordinating the import of audio and video systems and fixtures. In order to meet Allbirds' request to send out a message from Japan to the world in the future, we are paying tribute to their concept design philosophy of "sustainability" that respects nature and the environment, and considering interiors materials and spatial configurations that correspond to this for future store openings. <Our project members> [Sales/Project Management] Yoshiki Yamada [Design] Yoko Kurose [Production/ construction] Shuhei Tatsuda [Coordination] Atsuko Shimura
