Iki features 100%
handmade or hand-finished
products from Japan, so the
primary consideration for
the design of the store was
to recreate the feeling of a
luxury Japanese boutique, as
if it had been flown over from
Tokyo or Kyoto and installed
in Houston's Galleria. The
primary condition for the
visitor was to have the feeling
as if he/she had travelled in
time and space to a unique
small boutique somewhere
in Japan.
This unique boutique
was designed by Inventure
Design Group of Houston.
Architectural woodwork was
fabricated by Acacia, an
AWI member firm located in
Porter, Texas.

cost. "That covers the sense of
touch," says Inventure's James
O'Neill, AIA.. "For the sense
of hearing, music plays in the
background with the speakers
hidden in the woodwork
and a stone fountain adds
splashing of water to the store
and makes sure that the noise
from the mall does not ruin
the illusion. Tea is served,
completing the fifth sense of
taste."
Acacia believes that it's all
about aligning expectations all
around the table through good
communications.
