Umimirai Library

Bibliotheksbau einer Öffentlichen Bibliothek in Japan durch das Archtitektur Coelacanth-K&H
Der Bibliotheksbau erinnert an eine dreistöckige “Cake Box”.

The building is a large white box perforated with hole-punched windows that light up the interiors naturally in the day and at night glow out like portholes of a giant ship. There is a maritime feel to the place, probably unintended, or maybe since it was designed by a firm whose name evokes the ancient deep sea the contrary feelings of floating and drifting and being submerged are all by design.
