Daigo Town, in Ibaraki Prefecture is built on the edges of abundant woodlands on the surrounding mountains.
“Edges of the Forest” is a project to connects the residents, the town and the forest.
Using only scraps from local lumber mills, a cafe, bookstore, shared office and event space was created using the “edges” of the local forest.
Placemaking at the hands of the local residents brings people together and a space for all was the result.
