LAB Store / Architrip Inc.

We designed a new shop on the site of a commercial facility located in the center of Fukushima City, Fukushima Prefecture. The client's request was to build a third shop on the site (89 m2) between the existing shops No. 1 and No. 2. Existing shop No. 1 has a special structural form and organic plan shape while existing shop No. 2 is a simple building with black siding. The major issue was what kind of new architecture should be created in the space between these contrasting buildings.
