Taya Renewal Competition

Finalist

With 104 years of history, ‘Taya’ storefront renewal plan aims to combine tradition and innovative construction techniques. Store façade is covered with wooden louvers built gradually from the surface waves. These louvers are designed to minimize waste and cut with computer numerical control machining. In addition, the new transparency now shows a different expression through a variety of viewing angles to the façade. Taya’s gentle wave follows by renewal of the store. Wooden louver and display shelf add comfortable warmth so customers can enjoy shopping here.
