The frame of house type reflecting the image of intimate connection with the town provided in the facade of the shop, are beginning to become the icon of the town.

I have decided towards the town, and to have the facade of the shop the opening of the house type. When seen from the street, state of the shop is a glimpse into the frame over the house type.

The shop and the town, are connected with each other deeply through the frame. And from now, the shop will continue piled up time as part of the town even more  Image Courtesy © Yoshiro Masuda Use of Technology: The frame type of house that was built in the tunnel shape, is summarizing various functions to one. An entrance door, the blind of the measure against the afternoon sun in the evening, the space of a waiting and a bookshelf, and planting, lighting. Various elements are connected to one and the facade is constituted. It has succeeded in enabling simple composition and excluding an excessive element by collecting various functions to one.

People who point out the facade of a beauty salon and talk. People who wait for people. The passerby who parks and observes a car. Gradually, the beauty salon is beginning to function as an icon of a town. From now on, various dramas will start at the store. One year, three years, and ten years after. The role of a new store has started as a part of town.
