大阪堀内果実園咖啡厅丨日本大阪丨Yagyug Douguten

Architect：Yagyug Douguten

Location：1 Ofukacho, Kita Ward, Osaka, Japan; | ;

Project Year：2019

Category：Shops;Restaurants

A second shop was planned after the one in Nara, the home of “HORIUCHI FRUIT FARM,(堀内果実園)” in Grand Front Osaka, a commercial facility in the redevelopment area of Osaka Station North. Here, we wanted to express in the space the fact that the products are delivered from the farm to the city and the uniqueness of the domestically made dried fruits products.

It is said that when the Pyramid was being built, the large stones were placed onto the logs and were rolled across. The logs are the primitive form of the wheels, and by adopting them, we would like to use it as a starting point to convey the meaning of “carrying” and the place where the products come from. The wheels made from Yoshino cedar trees from Nara are symbols connecting the farm and the shop. Moreover, it is also an expression of tracing the memory of the land where the former freight station used to be before the redevelopment.

We would like to convey the inside of the fruits (fresh, simple, unobscured, honest taste). The interior is designed so that the inside that cannot normally be seen is exposed by applying transparent coating on putty base and steel base.

In addition, details inspired from greengrocer's distribution sites of seating tables, moving refrigeration cases, movable electric power source and magnetic hooks were adopted.

People and goods will come and go here, and we hope that bustling scenes like the ones from a freight station and stories come alive here again.
