Inspired by system of a zoo, the establishment has translucent glazed kitchen, training room, beans warehouse and roasting room. The interior is like a living room of a private house where people in any generation feel comfortable. Soft carpet feels fine and sofa seating is like a “engawa” relaxation style.

COURTESY
（Page 71）
Located on the ground floor of Akasaka Intercity AIR, COURTESY is a bakery cafe through the day and it turns into a French restaurant at night. Based upon a theme of “ fusion of art and food”, the environment was directed by artist Noritaka Tatehana. The interior, as a kind of site-specific art, was surrounded by a lot of glass planes. White rooms are simply infilled with huge towers of showcase. Around two volumes of kitchen positioned irregularly, there are table seating, semi-private dining area, sales area, and service area. Seemingly the space looks uniformed, customers, according to their places to stand, can enjoy various interior views with exhibited attractive art pieces.

BLUE BOTTLE COFFEE Sangenjaya has a nice court and a kind of long cul-de-sac lane as an approach. Visitors are firstly welcomed by a coffee-dripping counter behind the front facade and are to turn a corner of customer seating and then to reach a tidy court in the back where they are far from the hustle and bustle of a city, accessing to an entrance of a gallery next to the cafe.
The floor is all precast concrete. James Freeman, the cafe owner, got inspiration of the spatial design he when saw framed concrete on the construction site remembering “esprit rude / esprit doux” where he once played an instrument.
