In the expensive area of Higashi-Azabu, a store named “3D SNAP” is about to embark on a wonderful journey of “unique memories” within a compact space of 16.5 square meters. This store is not ordinary; it can scan your beloved dog using a special 3D camera and then create a unique small statue of your dog with a 3D printer. This undoubtedly provides pet lovers with a new way to capture beautiful moments. (#3D Printing Customization #Pet Statues )
Upon entering this store, the first thing that catches the eye is the facade display, which serves as the core element of the space. Here, there is a meticulously crafted circular object, which is not just an ordinary decoration but symbolizes a person’s unique memory as a single “point”. Every visitor brings with them a unique story with their dog, and this circular object acts as a container of memories, holding these precious emotions. It reminds us that in this fast-paced era, the warm moments spent with pets are so unique and worth cherishing. (#Symbol of Unique Memories #Core Space Design )
In terms of design inspiration, “3D SNAP” cleverly draws from the nearby Tokyo Tower. As a community landmark, the unique truss structure elements of Tokyo Tower have been integrated into the design of the store’s reinforcement materials. This design not only enhances the structural stability of the store but also creates a subtle connection between the store and the local environment. It seems to tell people that this store is not just a commercial space but a part that is closely connected to this land, rooted here and drawing from the local culture and atmosphere.
Looking at other elements in the store, the counter opposite the central scanning booth and others are all crafted with flowing curves. These curves seem to carry the rhythm of life, evoking soft impressions deep within people. Moreover, these elements are constructed using pure white materials, making their presence even more subtle. Pure white symbolizes purity and beauty, just like the pure bond between pets and their owners. In such an environment, people can more comfortably communicate with the staff, sharing their stories with their dogs and looking forward to the birth of that exclusive small statue.
