Soba restaurant "Ai" House, Gallery, Flexible spaces with courtyard : #0210

The house has a large private room. Soba restaurant "Ai" House, Gallery, Flexible spaces with courtyard....

The client had started to plan the opening of a soba restaurant 3 years ago before he opened it. He bought land with an old house. It is located in the relatively new part of town that was developed 30 years ago.

The house was partly renovated. A small space for making soba was newly added, and the old kitchen was renewed. A Japanese room and a Western-styled room were merged into one large room for serving and eating soba.

The entrance and hall became a single large space. In addition, we built a stage, which is at the same level as the large room in the courtyard. As a result, the large room and the courtyard becomes open for events and a gallery that opens into public space..

When the outer stage is brought into the inner room, the space is dramatically changed...


When the sliding wooden doors are closed, the glasses reflect the white wall. The space is different to its daytime...

Some broken stones are used for making the large earth floor...

The design of the deep blue dyed curtain comes from the sun & the moon. The gate is made from old material called red wood and railroad ties.


When the sliding wooden doors are open, the space becomes one.


The design of this stage comes from Tenkawabenten which is famous for a Noh play (courtyard)


When the door is open, the Doma becomes open space to the street...
