YU Momoeda (YU Momoeda Architects)

This is a pharmacy + cafe project designed in Tosu City. Since the site is long and narrow, we created a walkway within the building to bring in light and wind. Therefore, taking into consideration the surrounding situation and orientation, we placed the necessary rooms to the north and built a “Kabeyane” (wall integrated with the roof) to the south. This “Kabeyane” is a fireproof wall that protects the fittings and space from fires from neighboring building, and creates a new place for local residents to interact.
