Tokyo, Japan


This flagship location marks the first freestanding building designed for Marc Jacobs. The 2,800-square-foot, three-story building is located off Omotesando Street in Tokyo's famous Aoyama shopping district. It houses two main sales floors as well as a smaller sales area and storage room below grade.

The facade is divided into three zones: a minimalist open ground floor, a dark and heavy middle floor, and lastly a custom perforated paneled beacon. The ground floor employs a glass enclosure, an open floor plan and high ceiling, creating an open space that appears to freely flow onto the street.
