APÉRO VILLAGE

DESCRIPTIVE DESIGN – IKEJIRI


The project is located in a former Junior High School in the neighborhood of Ikejiri, Southwest Tokyo. The legacy of intervening a space where education used to be the main purpose of its existence had a profound impact in designing not only a wine shop, but a venue where clients can also learn about wine culture.

The space has an area of 73.20 m² and is divided into two main areas: a public area where clients are received and guided through the wines, and a private area where wine tastings and learning activities take place. The design emphasizes flexibility, allowing the space to adapt to different activities and events.


The design aims to reimagine the space of a former Junior High School into a wine shop and cultural venue, allowing clients not only to purchase but also to learn about wine.

Total area: 73.20 m²

  • Division:

    • Public area → Wine shop

    • Private area → Wine school + Tasting sessions

  • Design focus: Flexibility and adaptability to host various programs and events
