Japanese architect creates retail space with milk inspiration
Japanese architecture practice Moriyuki Ochiai has designed the interior of a store for the Dream Dairy Farm, a working farm that produce made from the farm’s own milk.
For the 86 sq m store, set in Chiba, Japan Moriyuki Ochiai used milk as its inspiration to create the store's unique interior, with layered resin boards (the same material used on cowshed roofs) to filter the light in order to create what it describes as a 'milky luminosity'.
The glass display below has a milky-white base with a rippled material, evoking images of a milk puddle. The walls have been painted green to reflect the meadows and forests that surround the dairy farm, and an aluminum light fixture moulded using organic curves hangs from the ceiling.
