TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Warehouse TERRADA (Shinagawa, Tokyo; CEO Yoshihisa Nakano) is pleased to announce that on Wednesday, February 1st, 2017, we opened the Architecture Model Workshop inside our Main Storage Center in Tennoz, as a part of our art-related business.
The Architecture Model Workshop is a facility specifically designed for architectural modeling and is run by ATELIER HASEGAWA TAKUMI Inc. In addition to taking orders for the creation and restoration of architectural models, it also sells original merchandise, including miniature silhouettes of people used with architectural models. Other services include special-order silhouette plates, created from photos of customers taken on-site in the Workshop and completed the same day.
The Workshop features displays including architectural dioramas of Tennoz and photographic records and autographs of famous architects, which should prove entertaining and informative to visitors. An adjoining workspace is also available for visitors to actually create architectural models and for restoration work as a trial lesson on an hourly basis. There are also plans to host a variety of events and workshops related to the field of architectural modeling.
Based in Tennoz, Warehouse TERRADA takes full advantage of our expertise in the use of space as we pursue technical improvements in storage and restoration. Those efforts have gained us a strong reputation both in Japan and abroad in the field of storage technology for highly specialized products, including artwork, wine and media.
In recent years, Warehouse TERRADA has focused particularly on a wide-ranging, proactive effort to expand our art-related business, based on the TERRADA ART VILLAGE concept under which we hopes to make Tennoz a focal point for bringing together, showcasing and disseminating art. The Architecture Model Workshop is part of that effort, and is intended to provide, through architectural models, a greater familiarity with the relationship between people and architecture.
