Kenjo-tei is located along a street of tea shops, across from Kenrokuen in Kanazawa, one of the most famous gardens in Japan. Here, we transformed an old tea house into a restaurant and gift shop.
One of the tasks was to reinforce the old building with the technique of Sashimono, (woodworking joints), which has been adopted to support houses in the snow-heavy region of Hokuriku. As a result, we designed a large space of darkness, crisscrossed with wooden frames.
To reinforce the roof truss, we employed carbon fiber cables to highlight a merging of new and old technology developed in Ishikawa prefecture.
Kanazawa was a town of Edo-typed samurai (warrior) residences, where varying levels of darkness were generated throughout the space. We selected materials for the interior to revive such an atmosphere, punctuating the darkness with lamps sprinkled with gold leaves.

金沢の名園、兼六園の茶店通りに建つ茶店のリノベーション。北陸の民家を大雪から支えてきた「サシモノ造り」の方法を用いて既存の建物を補強し、木のフレームが飛び交う大きな闇をデザインした。かつてこの場所にあった江戸町武家屋敷の豊かな闇を感じさせるような素材で内装を仕上げ、その闇の中に金箔貼りの照明器具を浮遊させた。小屋組み部分の補強に炭素繊維ロッドを使用し、石川県の新旧の技術を複合させた。
