About a year ago, I received a phone call from a woman who operates a coffee roastery inquiring about the renovation. When I went to see it in person, we saw that her husband ran an appliance store in one half of the space, which was divided by a screen, and the other half was the coffee roastery space.
She requested that we divide the space with a solid wall and remodel it into a coffee roastery. But I had a completely different idea come to mind. I asked her, “How about if we combine your coffee roastery with your husband’s appliance store and remodel it as one store?” and so the project started.
The store names “Shimura Appliances” and “Mister Beans” were combined into one: “Shimura Denki (Appliance) Coffee Roaster.” We designed it, including graphic design, as one store. It is a store where the husband and wife can enjoy connecting with each other, without “putting a wall up.”
As a result, it became the exact space I imagined when I first visited.
