CAFE&HALL ours

District level development changes city drastically. New comers are usually from different backgrounds and life styles. Can a cafe promote new sense of community among residents? 
Located in a corner of a large redevelopment area in Osaki, where Sony has their global HQ,  the cafe merged with a community house for neighbors. Community houses in Japan usually come with poor interior, an office-like atmosphere since nobody cares.
By bringing the PFI(Private Finance Initiative) scheme to this space, the budget issue has gone and the area got a nice and calm hub in central.
The food is delicious and the space is comfortable. Even for events such as a bazaar in the neighborhood or a little workshop, this place is beyond expectation. These elements were the main goal for branding this place.
