hotel Siro
（Page 146)
The design concept of hotel Siro is that staying at the hotel means
accommodating yourself to the city. The spatial composition of the
hotel is like layers of streets and each guest room faces outside
corridor, like traditional Japanese style ryokan, you are to access
the guest rooms from the engawa. In this sense, hotel Siro is both
modern and traditional. When you open the Shoji and sliding
window, you will look down vibrant street scenes of Ikebukuro and
feel the rhythm of the city while you travelling. This hotel is like a
perch for city tourists.

Takeout Shop
himono yamayasu
（Page 179)
Located in Odawara city, Kanagawa prefecture, this shop deals
specially in dried fish, The neighborhood is an area where
residence, factory, and expressways are mixed. Attracting a flow
of people, the environmental design needed elements for
centripetal force and openness. A lot of wood corn-shaped
columns stand in the site on three open sides and they support the
big roof. The corns are associated with either jumping fish or a
row of mountains. They are also symbolic brand identity and
supporting structure which are made of steel axes enveloped by
wood covers formed by 3D printer. There are almost no walls in
the interior and the shop looks so open, representing a worldview
of dried fish market. The project is not to just commerce but to
urge communication among local people.
