Yosakoi
This is a store/factory plan that manufactures and sells Mizunasu, a specialty of Japan. The interior of the store is simple and finished in a modern space where you can feel Japanese elements. The exterior, which can be seen from the road in front, contrasts with the windowless factory area on the right, and the store on the left has an opening overlooking the store, designed to encourage customer guidance. A different material is used as an accent in the center, and the design takes into consideration the balance between the left and right sides.
Yosakoi Shop by Michihiro Matsuo has been identified as a creative illustration of architectural design by the A' Design Awards. Yosakoi Shop received the Iron A' Design Award in Architecture, Building and Structure Design in 2023. The A' Architecture, Building and Structure Design Award is an international, juried, academic and meritocratic design competition that recognizes superior design of skyscrapers, museums, residential buildings, commercial complexes, educational institutions, religious structures, infrastructure designs, landscaping projects and more.
