Unique Properties
A plan for a store/factory that manufactures and sells Mizunasu, a Japanese specialty. The interior is finished in a modern space where you can feel simple and sophisticated Japanese elements. In contrast to the factory area, which does not have large windows, the store has a large opening that overlooks the store, and is designed to encourage the guidance of customers. By placing a solid wall as an accent in the center, the design is well-balanced.
Dimensions & Packaging
Site area: 277.51 Size: 242.89 Structure: Timber Floor: 2 For the purpose of realizing a low-carbon society, it is safely planned with a wooden structure that has secured strength by structural analysis. In Japanese wooden structures, it is often difficult to provide a large opening because the wall is proof stress, but it is possible to design a large space and a large opening by performing precise structural analysis even in a wooden structure. ..

Production Technology
Considering the heat insulation performance and durability performance of the building, the wooden structure mainly adopted in Japan was adopted. In that case, the complex and bold spatial composition makes the building strength uneasy. We conducted structural analysis and constructed it firmly and safely using large-section laminated wood and metal joints. In Japan, which is an earthquake-prone country, the structure is so important that the utmost consideration is being given.
Design Challenge
When designing an open store, set up a large opening around the entrance of the store. Ensuring natural energy and improving comfort and performance, even in buildings with large openings. We will realize the low-carbon demand for wooden structures and create a more open design. In addition, it is a big challenge to create an excellent design while ensuring the strength to withstand the large earthquakes that can occur frequently in Japan.
Research
Because it is a commercial building, customers come and go on a daily basis. A wide opening is provided on the front road, and the inside can be fully grasped. What kind of visual and active impact does an open store have on visitors compared to a closed store? We regularly conduct surveys with third parties and verify the situation on a regular basis.
Inspiration
As a building that stands on a site that faces the road for a long time, we arranged volumes of different sizes to encourage customers to come and go. there is In addition, by subtly shifting the spaces with different uses to the left and right, the angle from the road surface is also changed, and we are considering a design that will impress passers-by.
Project Duration
The project was completed in Osaka, Japan in FEB 2023
Operation Flow
The main life takes place in the living space on the 3rd floor, which floats in the air. In addition, the surrounding daily life takes place on the ground, and the strategically placed trees and shapes of the houses effectively guide the gaze of passers-by. The living room located on the top floor reflects the surface of the water below, and the space covered with glass on one side is a special space with no obstructions. By securing the height of the building, privacy is secured and a rich daily life is created.
