It is a showroom and office. The client is the plastering professionals.

左官;Japanese Sakan, Japanese plastering, is the finish on a wall with natural materials that have been used all over the world scient ancient times, such as lime, soil, sand, and natural fibers, and is finished with a trowel.

There are new functioning plastering walls. So, it is a building you can see various plastering faces.

In recent years, plastering has fallen out of use with the rise of new building materials and industrial products. Therefore, the clients planned a plastering showroom with the aim of making people more aware of the possibilities and range of expression of plastering . It is a rich material which has various characteristics. For example, natural condition make it changes during drying and shrinkage because of its humidity control, a free shape that follows the construction site, variations with mixtures, and finishes such as marks, pressing, and scraping by trowels and molds.

Accordingly, we decided to use the entire building as a canvas to express the richness of the variation of plastering. The exterior uses reddish soil, and a large red curved wall is directed towards the road to make it feel like a lump of red soil being there. When you go inside, you will face a large wall with 5 meters high and 10 meters width.

It is a primitive wall called a rough wall, which causes the soil kneaded with straw to shrink violently and crack. The other parts are also made using various plastering techniques and techniques. The white wall has a finish using a comb-like tool called scraping off calcareous soil, the counter is made of stones, formwork, and plates, which are stacked under pressure. A wall has a finish by scraping off calcareous soil with a comb-like tool, the counter by stone sharpening, and plate construction that makes formwork and builds them under pressure, etc. It is unique in that it is not architecture or walls using plastering, but a "show" room of plasterers using architecture and walls.

It also functions as a workshop, where clients can make samples, demonstrate, and exhibit them. When you visit here, you can learn about plastering more widely and deeply in the actual space with the plastering finish. Even if you don't understand the language, you can feel the charm of plastering throughout the building, and even if you are blind, you feel the plastering with your skin from the rich touch and excellent humidity control of the plasterer. In these respects, this architecture satisfies the elements of inclusive design. Furthermore, conveying the charm of plastering through this architecture will lead to the inheritance of the traditional culture.

In addition, the plastering wall has an excellent humidity control and heat insulation, which increases the efficiency of air conditioning and heating. Therefore, it is good for the environment also.
