Kanoko Building
This architecture might remind you of the images of?
? Kanoko, a fawn drinking water, ?Kanoko? means a young deer in Japanese

? Like a collar of a Kimono

? Like Origami, folding paper work

? A huge thumb pointing to the ground

? An asymmetric shape

The site is situated on a corner, so you can see two facades of this building. This is the first building that catches your eyes when you get out of the station. Accordingly, Eastern Design Office have designed this building not just as a simple cube, but as a funny and interesting form composed by two sides of the façade in order to make people create various images. It is designed sharply, clearly and dynamically.
The name of this place is Sumizome-cho, Fushimi-ku in Kyoto city.
This building has three stories made of a steel structure. The first and the second floor are for tenants, a pharmacy and a nursery school respectively. The third floor is a residential space for the parents of the client.?
The north side of this site faces the main street of this neighborhood. There is a bridge east of the site, which connects the site and the main shopping street. The railway station is just 5 meters away from here....
