"3D SNAP" is a shop in Higashi-Azabu, Tokyo where you can scan your beloved dog with a special 3D camera and create a one-of-a-kind original figurine using a 3D printer.

Our planned store is in Higashi-Azabu, Minato Ward, and it will be in a compact space of 16.5 square meters. For the facade display, which serves as the core element of the space, we are producing a round object that will serve as the backdrop for the display stand. The round object symbolizes the single "point" of one's "unique memory."

Additionally, drawing inspiration from the nearby Tokyo Tower, a neighborhood landmark, we incorporated elements of its truss structure into the design of our reinforcement materials. Elements such as the counter opposite the central scanning booth are crafted with flowing curves to evoke a gentle impression and built from pure white material to make their presence more subtle.

Instead of building it as an interior, we chose to utilize the structure of the building as it is, ensuring its functionality as furniture. As a result, this approach helps reduce waste, contributing to CO2 reduction. Furthermore, by creating a background inspired by the reddish scenery when spotlights are cast on the wall, we have successfully reduced the number of lighting fixtures in the display window, thereby achieving energy efficiency.

Despite its compact size, the space embodies the shop's relationship with the local area and clearly communicates its purpose.
