New York – Stephan Jaklitsch Architects (SJA) has designed a new Tokyo flagship building for Marc Jacobs Collection. Located on Omotesando-dori in the Aoyama shopping district, the building is the first ground-up store for the Marc Jacobs brand and will give Marc Jacobs a distinctive presence in this neighborhood of luxury stores. The design is a response to the immediate context (bordered by world-renowned architecture and a quiet residential neighborhood) and the desire to represent the tradition of craft that is inherent in Japanese construction.
