Cafe Kureon is a small cafe designed by Tokyo-based architectural design firm Kengo Kuma and Associates located in Toyama, Japan. It has its own uniqueness with shades amid vacant lots that have a beautiful lawn. The whim was ‘to create a building like a forest by piling up pieces of wood, rather than joining them together’. This beautiful wooden design is a testament to the sophistication of that Japanese architecture.
The architects used an ordinary again affordable rectangular timber sectioned in 105 mm. Its walls are made of glass and accessories plus personal stash namely by placing hundreds of wooden beams are arranged neatly on the front and the ceiling. Cafe Kureon have tables and chairs are so elegant and thin white. Tables and chairs are placed on the outside and inside. Both the flexible structure of the layout and the fact that the timber is free of special treatment make that it can easily go back to its initial state when the building needs to be disassembled and moved. The 197 square meter restaurant appears to minimally touch the ground. The internal dining space is contained within a glass enclosed box and the exterior is wrapped with interlocking lengths of timber.
