This structure is a simple wooden one-story structure, and U-shaped volume that looks floating is the characteristics of the facade.
This volume has the function of “framing” the outside scenery seen from inside this shop.
This U-shaped volume shuts off unfavorable landscape elements (power lines, traffic signs, etc), and individualize favorable scenery.
