Interior design project in Karasuma Shichijo, Kyoto.
The design was for a small sake shop that would sell bottles of sake, conduct tastings, and offer food in a small space of about 3.5 square meters.

Through discussions, we realized that it was important for the space to be a place that could be used in a variety of situations (number of people and groups).
Therefore, we designed the space to be a "small multifunctional space" .

In order to achieve this goal, we designed a multifunctional counter that would be a part of the overall space by creating a diagram of the various situations that could be assumed and analyzing and examining them over and over.

The shape of this counter does not uniquely determine how it is used, such as using one part of it side by side or flanking it from both sides, and thus allows for a variety of gatherings of people.
It also directs people's eyes in various directions, making it possible for multiple gatherings to coexist in a small space with their own enjoyment.

The finishing material for the counter is a mixture of shards of discarded sake bottles.
The mysterious transparency of this finish reunites with and echoes the transparency of the sake bottles and glasses placed on the counter.
