Cafes that seem to exist in there from the old days.
This cafe is located near the small town of the coast (a good wave comes.)
They wanted to build a small cafe where people gather in this land.
They named the cafe as "kusa". "kusa" means with "A weed"in English. We wanted to build the cafe that seems to exist from the old days and to grow from the earth.
Only 4 or 5 people (The old carpenters+ Plumber+ Mr. and Mrs. owner) worked this construction site.
Our work is design for self-build and advice for the cost(purchase of execution / materials) and the order of the work.
This method brings reduction in cost and we can use many materials which we can buy in the area, do not carry them by ship from the foreign country.
Weekdays inhabitants of near to this cafe are coming.
Holiday guests will come from Tokyo and Yokohama to this cafe.
