This small cafe is built in the peaceful residential street of Odawara city.

If it looks up, there are some on which the air of various sizes is likely to collect.
On the scale as shown in a table, they stood in a row superficially and have floated, under them, tables, chairs, plants, and the kitchen are placed.

The air as the exterior enclosed by the foundation of concrete and the air of various sizes which collects on it as an inside are making a border of inside and outside in the place with a height of 1.8 m. How to make a border as air of such inside and outside is tried.

What kind of waterproof was used on the roof?
fantastic! it feels very home-like
what is the roof made in?
did they do a direct Google translate from Japanese? very difficult to understand
Nice house but is there anybody checking the text @ archdaily before publishing? This must be Google translate…outrageous.
That is Japanese reality. They beleive in technology, even at academic levels. Shame on architects and archdaily publishing these texts without even reading them.
What a great job, this café gives an impression that it could be easily reconverted into a domestic space.
Also, more technical information would be appreciated.
anyone knows the address of this café ? please
