由前桥机构建立的设计准则要求在建筑物外部使用砖块 。 这个项目有趣的地方是 ， 我们可以在设计的同时检查项目周边场地的进度 。 我们想象着他们会如何在两边堆叠砖块 ， 并研究如何将砖块按照不同的模式与相邻的建筑物相呼应 ， 比如做一个像他们那样的大的堆叠建筑 ， 并一分为二 ， 减少每一部分的体积 ， 同时注意在砖堆之间增加“缝隙”空间 。 这个项目是关于设计一个新的商店 ， 但是我们也可以说它是关于在购物街上设计“消减空间”的项目 。 虽然这个建筑是购物街视觉序列的一部分 ， 但它在内外都创造了垂直于街道的空间深度 。 我们打算通过三维的方式来拓展购物街 ， 从而创造一个能够超越顾客期望的场所 。

The design code established by Maebashi Machinaka Agency required the use of bricks on the building exterior. The interesting part of this project was that we were able to design while checking the progress of the projects on both sides. We imagined how they would stack bricks on both sides and studied how to stack our bricks in various patterns––making a large stack like them dividing it in two and reducing each volume––in relation to the neighboring buildings while paying attention to enhancing \"void\" spaces between the brick stacks. This project was about designing a new store yet we could say it was also about designing \"reduction\" on the shopping street. While this building comprises part of a visual sequence of the shopping street it creates spatial depth perpendicular to the street not only in the interior and but also the exterior. We intended to create a place enhancing customers' expectations by expanding the shopping street three dimensionally.
