The Ohori Park Shop stands out for its curved, wooden lattice facade that mimics the gentle arc of the nearby lake shoreline. Designed by Kengo Kuma, this building houses a coffee shop within the city's largest public park. The design prioritizes transparency, using glass walls to blur the boundary between the interior seating and the surrounding pine trees. Kuma chose cedar wood for the exterior to help the structure disappear into the landscape, echoing the park's origins as a moat for Fukuoka Castle.
