KEY OPERATION INC. / ARCHITECTS

This cafe and Asian sweet shop is located in the Tatemachi district of Kanazawa. On the first floor there is a showcase for takeout orders, a half-self-service counter, and a spacious seating area. The second floor, which is linked to the lower area via a void, features a seating area with antique chairs. The height of the ground-level floor gradually rises from the entryway through to the seating area in the rear, creating a greater degree of privacy further inside the space.
