The buildings were built about 30 years ago in a rural area of the city. The eaves, height, construction method, and materials are consistent, and each building has passed through the same period of time and still retains a cohesive atmosphere. This project is to convert one of the warehouses into a Japanese restaurant. The existing parts of the building, which evoke the passage of time, are contrasted with the newly constructed parts, which are finished in a modern style, in various ways, complementing each other both inside and out.
