The Design

About Taniroku Saka Koekiewinkel

Taniroku Saka bied 'n verskeidenheid nagereg aan om teetyd te vergesel. Die ontwerkkonsep van 'n see van wolke op die bergtop is ontwikkel deur die luukse ervaring en fris gevoel te verbeel van tee drink met lekkers terwyl jy oor 'n see van wolke uitkyk. Die winkelterrein is geleë op 'n heuwel genaamd Berg Sanada omdat 'n samoerai-heer Sanada daar 'n kasteel gebou het. Die heuwel is ongelukkig te laag om 'n berg genoem te word. Tog is dit 'n heuweltop, en daarom het die ontwerpers die beeld ontwikkel en met die konsep vorendag gekom.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: Taniroku Saka offers an assortment of desserts to accompany tea time. The design concept “a sea of clouds at the mountaintop” was developed by imagining the luxurious experience and brisk feel of having tea with sweets while overlooking a sea of clouds. The site of the shop is situated on a hill called Mt. Sanada because a samurai lord Sanada built a castle there. The hill is unfortunately too low to be called a mountain. Yet it is a hilltop, so the designers evolved the image and came up with the concept.
Inspiration: The most distinctive feature is the sales stands that occupy the entire sales floor. Aisles for staff are minimized, prompting the staff to serve customers outside. This sales style was inspired by the greengrocer and the fish shop nearby. The designers noticed they always stay in their storefronts to serve customers, adding a lively vibe to the neighborhood. They thought such assertive marketing instead of waiting for them to come in could be more appropriate for this neighborhood.
