COEDA HOUSE

The COEDA HOUSE is a café in the Akao Herb & Rose Garden run by the Akao Resort in Atami. It is located on a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The building has a structure like a massive tree that was created by randomly stacking 8 cm x 8 cm squared cypress timbers, and it is reinforced with a carbon fiber rod. We made counter tables made of glass and mirrors, a mirrored kitchen, and fixtures to display the products to sell. Those pieces of furniture have no presence due to the use of mirrors and guests can enjoy the texture of the wood used for the building and the ocean view to the fullest. The GC chairs for outdoor use are made of weather-resistant teak.
