The "forest café" locates in a dude ranch on the same site of The Hara Museum Ark, which is a famous modern art museum in Japan.
The space is composed by the leaf like repeating volumes arborized at 120 degrees, intending to interwin the building and the surrounding forest.
The activity, walking around in these arborized spaces, will be interpreted as an experience walking in the forest. Moving inside, the scenery opens out diagonal, right and left, the reflecting images and real images in the glass mingles together. And you will see the rabbits running around, the sheep and the horses appear and disappear among the trees, and the goats climbing up the roof.
The idea is that collage of several sceneries in a single experience provides a new aspect of the ranch.
