kengo kuma + associates: café kureon

tokyo-based practice kengo kuma + associates has recently completed the 'café kureon' in toyama, japan. encompassed with a meadow, the 197 square meter restaurant appears to minimally touch the ground. the internal dining space is contained within a glass enclosed box and the exterior is wrapped with interlocking lengths of timber. placed perpendicular to each other in a grid-like arrangement, the structure appears visually inverted with continuous layers at the roof line and compact footprints for supports connecting to the foundations.
