자연을 담는다. 경계를 연결한다. 바닷가에 면한 40미터 길이의 건축물은 풍부한 자연환경을 투영한다. 밀착된 내외부의 관계는 바다를 적극적으로 받아 들이는 건축물의 배치, 경량 구조물위로 마감된 백색의 폴리카보네이트, 바다의 파도를 형상화하는 곡선 지붕으로 아름다운 경관을 감상하는 레스토랑으로 구현된다. -지붕에 설치된 곡선 폴리카보네이트는 서비스 구역;주방, 창고을 제외하고 고객들의 레스토랑 공간과 테라스공간 상부에 투명한 폴리카보네이트를 설치, 채광을 적극적으로 유입한다.- 그리하여 건축물은 바다로 면한 테라스 공간과 식사와 담소를 즐길 수 있는 레스토랑 공간으로 완성된다.

As one of the venues for the “Setouchi Triennale”, hosting its 2nd edition this year, Teshima has been a place where dairy and rice cropping were active for decades.
Due to depopulation the traditional rice terraces were once desolated, though gradually recovering its richness by the help of many volunteers. With such backgrounds, the main objective of this restaurant is to provide a “Place for Food”, not only for the visitors from all over the world who’ve come for the art, but also for the local islanders.
Restaurant on the sea, Kagawa (Teshima), Japan
Program: restaurant
Architects: Koichi Futatusmata, Yasushi Arikawa (Case-Real)
Client: Circle House Cooperation
Area: 471 sqm
Completion: 2013
Fitted with a public kitchen to be made available to a variety of people directly in front of the building’s main approach, a rich communication built surrounding food will emerge. It was with this vision of a such a new island culture being nurtured that the building was designed.
This duo-arch structure running along the coast, totaling to 40 meters in length, has most of its interior and exterior walls, and roofs covered with light wave plates, also with a large portion of its sea-facing side open as a terrace.
This terrace captures the breathtaking views of the ocean extending forth, but also becomes an important element of this design as a hub through which each feature – the kitchen, restaurant and public kitchen – are all connected, both in physicality and in consciousness.
The terrace portion of the roof uses a light wave plate with a permeability that conjures a feeling of openness, and natural sunlight pouring through the roofs of both arches creates differing atmospheres in the indoor and outdoor spaces.
Additionally, the foundation of the building, raised as a measure against the flood of tidal waves, uses a red-brown concrete, as if the earth itself had been raised, providing contrast to the presence of the blue sky and ocean continuing beyond. It was our aim to provide architecture that coexists with the island, accepting both the overwhelming blessings and ferocity of nature in Setouchi.
