About Be:side 咖啡廳與美容店

為船橋屋這間自1805年創立至今專營葛餅的老字號迎接新挑戰，設計師認為回歸本源、珍視悠久歷史至關重要，因此將旗艦店標誌性的紫藤棚架融入整個入口設計。這個充滿動感的入口設計不僅在青山寧靜的住宅區中脫穎而出、吸引路人目光，更同時兼具戶外座位的功能，為顧客提供服務。

Unique Properties: Funabashiya is an arrowroot mochi store with a long history since 1805, and this shop is their new conceptual shop focusing on health and beauty. The wisteria arbor at Funabashiya's flagship store became iconic to their customer.
For new challenge of our client Funabashiya which is with a long history since 1805 as arrowroot mochi store, the designers thought it is important to return to their own roots and cherish their long history. Therefore, they adopted the iconic wisteria arbor of Funabashiya's flagship store to the design of the whole entrance. Not only the dynamic design of the entrance stands out in the quiet residence area in Aoyama and caught people’s attentions, but it also functions as outside seating for their customers.

Production Technology: To emphasize the linear design, the dark grey tiles runs from the terrace to the end of the store, and it makes the store look deeper and the terrace roof inspired by the wisteria arbor more dynamic. The designers kept the interior minimum and simple to make their products stands out and carefully plan the lighting to make the space bright enough but not too plain and boring by creating contrast of light.
Inspiration: Inspiration came from the wisteria arbor at “Funabashiya” flagship store in Kameido. The wisteria arbor became iconic to their customer over the years of their history. For their new challenge, the designers thought it is important to return to their own roots and cherish their long history.
Project Duration: The project started in January 2020 and finished in July 2020 in Shibuya, Japan
