A bookshop and event space that is also the office and shop of a young real estate agent in Oarai. To keep costs down we worked with Kanbayashi Sawmill and mainly used slab wood, the outer cuts that always come off when logs are sawn and that can be supplied cheaply. Because the business was still taking shape, we kept the space flexible: we made many wooden boxes in two sizes from slab wood and composed the space by combining them. Making the boxes became a DIY event, which also kept costs down.
