Omachi Kitako Sugoroku Cafe

• Omachi Kitako Sugoroku Cafe
• Year: 2024
• Place:Former Omachi-Kita High School, Nagano, Japan

A playful and relaxing space was created in the former cooking room of a high school, combining a sugoroku (Japanese board game) area with a café. The sugoroku game was designed as a three-dimensional cube structure, where players roll a giant die and progress through the game by climbing up and down the cubes. Each space on the board contained challenges related to Shinano-Ōmachi, as well as activities such as ping pong, seesaws, and basketball. During the exhibition period, a marché was also held, where bread, baked sweets, and other treats were sold. The design of the colorful tables spelled out the word "OMACHI" using alphabet letters.
