atelier N as Architects

KAMAKURA, once praised by Bruno Taut in his book There is a Japanese architectural style. Kamakura is a house made of snow. At the festival, we make KAMAKURA, call out to the people on the road from inside the KAMAKURA, and entertain them at the amazake shop mochi. In short, it is a traditional style for inviting people to entertain.

At this cafe, we imitated the form of Kamakura and made an experimental design to invite people on the road. At first glance, some people describe the form of this cafe as modern architecture, but in reality, the form of this cafe is an imitation of traditional Japanese architecture. In other words, it can be said that there was a modern element in the traditional Japanese style.
