The ground floor, the building's entrance, as a leafy neighborhood park.
Envisioned as “a leafy neighborhood park,” the ground floor became a dining bar with an interior surrounded by greenery and terrace seating.
Project details
A roughly 60-year-old company housing building, reborn as a park for grown-ups.
Why
A place where residents and neighbors alike can gather.
- 01
Giving new life to a 60-year-old building
The building, about 60 years old, had served as company housing and residences until 20 years ago. A full renovation was needed to give it a new role.
- 02
Many uses under one roof
The brief was to bring a spice-focused restaurant, shared housing, a bookstore, and an event space together in one building.
- 03
Connecting residents and the community
The aim was a place where not only residents but also local people could drop by easily, creating opportunities for encounters across generations and walks of life.
How
Building a “park for grown-ups,” starting from the ground floor.
The concept was “a park for grown-ups”: a place where anyone can gather casually and spend time however they like.
A place where people meet across generations and walks of life.
Open not only to share house residents but to local people as well, it creates opportunities for encounters and exchange.
What
A building where people meet across generations and walks of life.
