45° / Studio Takuya Hosokai
Isolated within a seemingly endless stretch of flat, idyllic countryside, a small but dense forest emerges into view. Occupying 4500 square meters, the ancient copse has been preserved and nurtured in its rural setting. Nestled within this unique environment, we designed a cakeshop which is the second building by the same owner on the site, following a locally produced and consumed restaurant completed in 2015.
