Located in Chuo-ku, Tokyo, this coffee shop was a remodeling project of fifty years old camera shop, making the most of the shop history and the context. The building is two-storied and the floor area is only 25㎡ each, which in the end made the architect to create this micro cosmos interior with the impressive use of arched ceiling and low light intensity. The wall has very small glazed holes to project inverted images of the outside on the interior wall of the shop. The interior design is based upon concept of “camera obscura”. In this rapidly changing Tokyo, this coffee shop seems to be a toll of memorizing the neighborhood.
