A Japanese and western confectionary store located in Kofu City, which is famous for “Kurodama (black balls)”. What we imaged was the architecture of a typical house with gable roof and walls that overlap when viewed from the entrance. Adjusting the Depth of Field in photography is a technique that can be used to create areas that are in focus and also areas that are defocused. We thought that partitioning could create several separate spaces and yet still have them interact with each other by overlapping elements from other locations, thus creating a similar kind of spatial depth. In an attempt to control the focus within the space at an early stage, we laid out panels so that the walls would overlap and gave specific roles to each small area. By organizing their usage and relationship, for corridors, Japanese and western confectionary, a café, sales demonstrations and such, we made it a continuous space like a Japanese house with its fixtures removed. The plain unvarnished woods used as the material for each panel and wall were dyed 5 different shades. We thought the relationships between the spaces and its continuity can be seen from outside making a “Partitioned Space” that corresponds with the town.
