BONUS TRACK
（Page 48）
Located in Shimokitazawa, Tokyo, BONUS TRACK, a housing complex for working at home, was planned as a kind of newly built shopping street, on an ex-track site. To inherit a spontaneous local cityscape, the project was schemed to facilitate individual retail business and active life style there. Each tenants could easily change the finish of the exterior and the minimum interiors also can be easily changed as they like. The architect has been involved, as interior supervisor, the total project since the completion of the building. As the lease outlines were not decided, tenants can freely put chairs, tables, and standing signs. The establishment, therefore, makes a comfortable park-like space for residents and even neighbors.

UNDERSON UNDERSON
（Page 188）
UNDERSON UNDERSON is a specialty shop to sell inner wear made of “Washi fabric”. The interior design theme is a reference room that shows functionality of this new fabric and the brand’s view of the world. A long hanging wall smoothly outlines the store on a floor of a commercial complex building. In this environment, shoppers can feel comfortable to reset their times, searching carefully what they want, said the designer. Beaming Washi paper screens are hanging from the ceiling to illuminate the whole store. In the center of the site, there two tables covered with Washi paper. As a whole, the store successfully represents the brand’s world view and innovative new fabric products.

REMIX’HOMME + REMIX’HEART /
OHARASANDO REMIX BUILDING
（Page 195
This flagship shop of multi-brand apparel is located in Hita city, Oita prefecture. The architect put emphasis on transparency of the interior, for shoppers inside the store feel uncomfortable when they are seen from outside the glazed openings. To make a gap of eye levels of people in store or on the street, men’s floor is half underground and the ladies’ floor is the raised ground floor. The concrete beams and columns surround the store to make buffering voids around under a thick concrete overhang. The repeated stark concrete lattice expressively induce visitors to step in the store. Once you enter the piloti, you will be impressed with the strong horizontal lines and the volume of the concrete.
