कप्स् कामाकुरा इति कैफे-रेस्तरां-भवनस्य आन्तरिक-अभिकल्पना अस्ति, यत् होटलरूपेणाऽपि सेवते। भवनम् जापानदेशस्य कामाकुरा-नगरे सागराभिमुखं वर्तते, अभिकल्पना च जलस्य प्रतिबिम्बेभ्यः प्रेरणां गृह्णाति। जलाधारिताः चित्रालेखाः निर्मिताः, ये वर्णसन्तुलनस्य, सूर्यप्रकाशप्रतिबिम्बनस्य, द्रव्यचयनस्य च सूक्ष्मकार्येण कैफे-होटल-स्थानयोः प्रयुक्ताः। भवनं पञ्चाशद्वर्षेभ्योऽधिककालात् विद्यमानम् अस्ति, अतः छादनफलकानि अपसारितानि, येन मूलं काष्ठनिर्मितं संरचनं प्रकाशितम्। काष्ठं स्वच्छेन चकचकितेन वार्निशेन सुसज्जितम्, नूतनानि च इस्पात-आधारस्तम्भानि योजितानि।
