Hole in the Wall

- Near Higashi-Chaya district, Kanazawa
- Interior window in a bookstore/cafe
- Creates an opening between the cafe and the books, as the space is really small it enables interraction between the people looking at the books and the owner.
- The horizontal window brings light and air to a very tight space, it also frames the point of view from inside and outside the bookshelf space.
