Case Study: Itoya achieves faster, clearer interior design approvals with Graphisoft Archicad

Itoya completes 3 simultaneous store renovations on a tight schedule with Graphisoft

Ikeda Architectural Design, the firm behind the renovation of the historic Japanese stationery retailer Itoya, faced a complex challenge involving the simultaneous renovation of multiple store floors across three locations under an extremely tight deadline. The project required detailed interior design and constant client collaboration, which was difficult to achieve with traditional 2D CAD workflows. Graphisoft's Archicad BIM software was implemented to manage this intricate process.

Using Graphisoft's Archicad, the team created a full BIM workflow from schematic to detailed design, enabling rapid 3D visualization and design development. This allowed for swift modifications and clear client presentations using renderings and BIMx walkthroughs, which ensured the client fully understood proposals from the start. The solution enabled seamless communication, avoided delays, and led to on-time project completion with high client satisfaction. Graphisoft's tools were credited as essential to meeting the deadline and have positioned the firm for future advancements like VR design.
