NEW SHOP & ENVIRONMENT
Digital Garage “Pangaea”
（Page 40)
Approximately 335 million years ago, Pangaea, super continent,
existed, composed of earlier continental units and it was later
divided again into some continents with men and their borders.
This co-working space Pangaea uses so-called “super furniture”,
continuous-shaped big installation, like Pangaea Continent,
connects various activities in the environment. Making the most of
internet service, the office was designed to create new social
values, assembling varied information and human interaction,
which will offer meaningful context and eventually contribute to
build a sustainable society. Occupying the core of the interior
space, the super furniture functions as a control center for solo
working and business vision making.

Snow Peak LAND STATION HAKUBA
（Page 50)
To revitalize the local, this project was planned, including shop,
café, restaurant and outdoor activity yard. The building was
designed upon a shape of peaks of Northern Alps (so-called Kita-
Alps) with the use of wood composition that reminds us of trees
and crystal of snow. Visitors can command excellent views of
Hakuba-sanzan from picture windows while they are shopping or
something. The restaurant uses tarpaulin partitions. The wall has
louvers of unbarked lumber representing forests and an airy
feeling. Above the shop, crown-like wood structure is suspended,
welcoming shoppers.

UPI OMOTESANDO
（Page 78)
A flagship shop of UPI, mostly Scandinavian outdoor brand,
opened in Omotesando, Harajuku, Tokyo. The environmental
design concept is georama of a natural history museum,
composed of quasi-outdoor “natural area” and “exhibition area”,
and visitors are to walk around in both areas. The both areas are
divided by diagonal axis that is intentionally misaligned to existing
structure of the building to strongly emphasize separation between
the inner and the outer of a boundary in terms of visual effect.The
natural area was designed like woods in which visitors can hear
the sound of a bubbling brook, and the most part of existing
structure, columns, walls, and ceilings, are originally exposed,
showing the history of the building and representing the nature in
urban environment.

HOTEL
hotel tou nishinotoin kyoto
（Page 180)
hotel tou nishinotoin kyoto opened in a quiet area with a lot of
Buddhist altar shops, between Nishi-honganji temple and Higashihonganji
temple. The location is a bit far from the central area of
Kyoto city. Upon a concept of “depth”, the interior environment
was designed to represent tranquility and refinedness of history
and culture of the old capital. Light from a courtyard shine through
a copper-covered hallway. In an entrance hall and a restaurant,
the natural light comes in, creating shadows and giving a sense of
the depth. The furniture is mostly low, and it highlights the
horizontal lines. Lattices and Shoji screens stir your imagination
for something behind them. The lighting is limited, and the ceiling
is low, that is very Japanese style.
