FIRST

Description of concept.

Forum for exchange and disseminate information and to stay hostel cafe Japanese people and the world to stay fused, in other words, we propose a new way of youth hostels.

We thought that it is important is that people can and Tokyo foreign people that you want to make available in a person other than an hostel accommodation, have stayed to interact.

Therefore, incorporating the hostel the "tea cafe" that provides Japanese tea in demand even foreign people, we renovated space in the new community of Tokyo.

Foreign and Japanese people and lead among the overlapping space, information dissemination and exchange will be born.

SECOND

Description of scheme.

In a global society, can have a place to interact with people of foreign presence, while in Japan it is called precious, there should be a demand in Tokyo is the center of economy and education.

However, I think the only one who stayed in the hostel as the current is not available to meet the demand, the inherent goodness can have exchanges with foreign people and not be sufficiently exhibited.

We thought that it is important for people to foreign people and Tokyo are also available to people other than accommodation in hostels, which will enable to stay up.

Therefore, incorporating the "tea cafe" that provides Japanese tea in demand even foreign people, we renovated space in the new community of Tokyo.

THIRD

Description of the section.

We were provided with a large opening in the existing building frame. And I had to insert a new precursor to the opening.

Existing parts is a shared space. A new precursor is a room of guests.

Large opening gives a sense of unity to the whole youth hostel by being produced from the café on the first floor.

We are committed to the Japanese traditional scale of the residence at the new precursor. This scale is Determined by the number of tatami. 

We have a place where you can experience a sense of scale of residence in Japan. Moreover precursor of the floor that is different from the existing floor height to create a new relationship as sight and the flow line.

We have a space that overlapped a place where new precursor of face-to-face is different cafes and hostels, get each other to share the events of the user.

FORTH

Description of the plan.

I want you to focus on the first floor.

The main target is a student. September and April vacation. So, I think I can change the time how they are used by the Youth Hostel. 

Therefore, when it is not at its peak, you are used to a very pleasant cafe.
