Ashiya

Maison Henri Charpentier - Japon

The project is the flagship of the Henri Charpentier brand for the Osaka region. The concept plays with the architecture of a typical French mansion, reflecting the DNA of the Henri Charpentier brand which creates high-end French-inspired pastries in Japan. This project was awarded a prestigious prize in Japan: the JCD Design Award given by the "Japanese Society of Commercial Space Designer".

A precious jewelry box

The building consists of a central body and two wings with a gable roof. The whole is made entirely of white and is completely smooth as a contemporary object. Like a precious jewelry box, the interior is completely covered with a floral pattern and thus contrasts with the exterior.
