About Ebetsu Tsutaya Books ڪتابن جو دڪان

ايبيتسو تسوتايا بڪس جپان جي هوڪائيدو، ايبيتسو ۾ هڪ لائف اسٽائل ڪتابن جو دڪان آهي. اها عمارت ٽن بلاڪن مان ٺهيل آهي، جن جو موضوع ذهن، زندگي ۽ کاڌو آهي، جيڪي پنجن زونن ۾ ترتيب ڏنل آهن ته جيئن 140 ميٽرن تائين پکڙيل عمارت جي بصري ڪثافت کي گھٽايو وڃي. اندروني جڳھون ڀرپاسي واري ٻيلي جي نظارن کي فريم ڪن ٿيون ۽ اتحاد جو احساس برقرار رکن ٿيون. خام مواد هڪ پرسڪون ماحول پيدا ڪن ٿا، جنهن ۾ مقامي طور تي تيار ٿيل سرون، ڪنڪريٽ جي فرش، بي پردي اسٽرڪچرل اسٽيل، ڪاٺ ۽ اسٽيل جو فرنيچر، ۽ روشني جو ڊزائن شامل آهن. ڪتابن جو دڪان مقامي رهاڪن لاءِ تقريبن جو انعقاد پڻ ڪري ٿو.

Design Challenge
In order to restrict the volume of the structure spanning 140 meters, the three blocks within the structure have been given five zones by displacing their plan and layout. By doing so, the structure constitutes a unified group, and the subdivisions within it are thought to be effective in attracting more people. Intending to create a contrast to the greenery of the surrounding natural environment, bricks from three local companies were used for the exterior finish material. We are expecting them to age beautifully with the extruded cement panel base on the side surface.
Research
After completion of the building, events for residents have been planned out, nearly 50 events monthly and over 500 throughout the year, to contribute to the local culture, and it has played a central part in the local community offering much more than public buildings in the city.
Inspiration
Ebetsu Tsutaya Books was inspired from nature around and strived to create A Forest Library that proposes a lifestyle within a comfortable space. This building is not only a commercial facility selling goods but also a place striving to create and nurture a culture. This resonates with the resolution of the Tsutaya Books founder to "create places where people gather", which is passed on to us as our response to the theme of Slow-Life of Ebetsu Tsutaya Books.
Project Duration
The project started in April 2016 and completed in August 2018, located in in Ebetsu, Hokkaido Japan.
Operation Flow
Tsutaya Books, a lifestyle bookstore, has taken on a project with us to open their 20th store, after renewing their type of enterprise, in Ebetsu City, Hokkaido. The site is adjacent to "Four Seasons Promenade" in Ebetsu City and faces a forest thickly covered with large trees. The concept of the store is "A Forest Library to Enjoy a Slow-Life" and to create a place that proposes a lifestyle within a comfortable space.
