CASE-REAL applies exposed concrete in tokyo's ATON AOYAMA boutique

CASE-REAL has transformed an existing square-shaped space in one of tokyo‘s wealthiest neighborhoods into the ATON AOYAMA boutique. the japanese architectural practice, lead by koichi futatsumata, aimed at portraying the refined, minimalist identity of the clothing brand throughout the interior, creating a symmetrical space finished in exposed concrete surfaces.

CASE-REAL has altered the original, high-ceiling retail space through various small touches that complement the image of the ATON brand. the existing concrete floor has been retained and polished in several parts of the interior, while exposed pipework on the ceiling adds to the raw, unassuming atmosphere, together with other details such as aluminum clothing racks, reflective surfaces, and wooden panels and pieces of furniture. the various functions of the boutique are divided minimally, composing a symmetrical, open-plan space that directly portrays the ideas of the brand.
