Niseko Look Out Cafe, by Design Spirits, Tokyo. The cafe is near the top of a mountain in Niseko on the island of Hokkaido. The architect says it was a project with many constraints. “Look out Café is located on the top of the mountain, and it is impossible to reach by car or ski-lifts during the off-season.” Construction workers had to climb up and down the mountain on foot if the carrier is fully-occupied with materials. It was completed in 49 days.
Look Out Cafe was shortlisted at the Inside World Festival of Interiors. The project, a renovation was completed in around 50 days. Vertical timber lattice is the main material.
