This project involved refurbishing a building in Habikino City, south of Osaka, that was originally a restaurant and turning it into a delicatessen store. The main materials used are mortar, paint and stainless steel, and due to the details of each part, they become materials that are crucial in establishing a “store” that differs a little from what we’re used to seeing. Also, by bringing the garden inside, we made the use and intention of the inner space even more ambiguous, so that only a place called a “store” existed there.
