Lighting Plan: ModuleX FUKUOKA, Masaaki Sato
Text description provided by the architects. A design for both shop and bar with an original concept to provide a new combination of western confectionery and wine. The site is located in the central part of Fukuoka city and is surrounded by the sprawl of densely-packed residential and mid-rise buildings. The site is very small and is dominated by multistory apartments. However, it is the owner’s earnest desire to build a one-story building. The owner is both patissier and sommelier. As a result of many meetings with her, we decided to create architecture as if it presented her character as an artisan. In other words, we aimed at providing architecture which has an earnest and dignified sight contracting with the bustle of the city. Additionally, we are making a conscious decision to build a one-story, ”oasis” against the city “ jungle” with its multi-storey buildings.
