‘yufutoku restaurant’ renovation by ISSHO architectsimage © koichi torimura

 

 

located in central tokyo, the SOBA noodle shop has undergone a complete renovation by ISSHO architects. the building implements machiya-style wooden louvers to its facade, evoking forms seen within traditional japanese townhomes. the depth of each slat sequentially varies across the face of the yufutoku restaurant, as different patterns of light spill through the front side from the interior fabric,  allowing a gradual change of character at dawn, especially when viewed from the main street.
