This small cafe is located on the street of a quiet residential area in Kanagawa's Odahara city. Designed and built by Hiroyuki Shinozaki. The upper part of the building is a collection of wooden volumes of different sizes, and the interior of them is made into an empty state, as if suspended above the building. Below is the use of glass partition to create different spaces, although they are separated, but maintain a smooth connection in the line of sight, and set up tables, chairs, green plants and kitchen space and so on.

The whole building is a combination of concrete foundation and wooden structure. With only 49 square meters of space, the design presents an infinitely spacious, quiet and changeable scene.
