JINS Ohtone Store / Tadashi Hirai Design Studio
Briefly

The JINS eyewear store in Kazo City, Saitama, is designed to harmonize with the local river environment, employing a dogleg shape to connect visually with a nearby commercial area. Its tubular design represents a flowing river, and the shifting interior and eaves create connectivity with the exterior. This store encourages accessibility, allowing visitors to enter freely from the sidewalk and experience an integrated indoor-outdoor environment through strategic planting and design, echoing the feeling of crossing rivers with stepping stones.
This architecture aims to harmonize with the nearby rivers, creating a natural river-like flow in its design.
The interior space alternates with eaves, enhancing the connection to the outside environment.
