Otsuka was formerly a prosperous geisha district and to this day provides retro restaurants uniquely Japanese that deeply retains Izakaya culture. Even within Tokyo Otsuka holds a significant presence. It is a good old-fashioned town with a humble, quiet peace that remains untravelled. We then formed the concept of "Modern Tateba". During the Edo period in Otsuka, tateba flourished as places with large roofs that covered tea houses, rest stops, shops and where people with various interests went to interact. First, the choice of activities and zoning provides activities from dawn to midnight: sandwich takeout, dining cafe, chef's table, and bar. For each zone, the quality of materials was chosen to give each space its own feel and characteristic. People come here for its many uses and we considered ways for them to enjoy them at their choosing. All these activities also sit underneath a large roof. The roof is expressed with a large wood column grid below and steel lath mesh building material floating above that creates a sense of openness. The slope of the roof gives it more emphasis and is designed so that as you walk deeper into inside the slope is more pronounced. The angle of the slope is designed so that on the entrance side, it is more spacious with a welcoming entrance, whereas deep inside the canopy is lower so that it reaches a human scale and provides a feeling of comfort.
