Ryoguchi-ya Korekiyo is a long-established Japanese confectionary store in Nagoya.
The roof-type cross section enabled us to create a tranquil, shadowy place under the eaves.
The building faces a busy road in the city, so it was important to provide a kind of sanctuary alongside it, in order to protect architecture and bring in a different atmosphere, like a Japanese garden.
Light bounces back from the green in the garden, and its gentle lighting also helps to secure a peaceful spot that is normally unexpected at the heart of busy cities.
