Japanese style means "Japanese style",

which is often used to describe the "Japanese style" characteristics and flavors in the fields of music,

 architecture, painting and other arts, as well as in cultural life such as clothing, food and housing.

In terms of architecture, the traditional Japanese decoration

is very different from the luxury and splendor of European style.

From this Japanese street cafe, you can feel that the Japanese-style decoration

is like a pastoral style, focusing on the integration with nature.

Even if the building materials used are unnatural industrial containers,

many natural elements will be added to the design of the building,

such as building a wooden pavilion in the forecourt of the building,

and building a small courtyard around it,

 paved with sand and stones, and planted with green plants.

This cafe is not just a cafe, it is also a green plant selling shop called

【Haco Green shop & Little cafe】. In order to integrate catering and green plant sales,

the store subtly covered the entire interior wall with potted plants and dried flowers,

displaying the goods while decorating the environment.

The catering service area is designed in a nude pink container,

and the box is cut with small windows that are flush with the dining table,

allowing customers to enjoy the view of the outdoor back garden while dining.

Turning from the side door of the cafe,

you will see that this corner is full of various dried flowers,

green plants and potted plants.

From this door, you can reach the back garden of the cafe,

which consists of an open-air area and cut "Half-container" constitutes together.

Looking back at the structure of this cafe,

 it is actually only composed of a dark green container and a naked pink container.

However, when designing the structure, the naked pink container was cleverly cut.

One section is used as a dining area and is assembled on the dark green container used as a kitchen,

and the other section is separated and placed next to the dining area for stacking.

The product display window uses two boxes to create three independent spaces.
