Trailers and a deck on a temporary site
In 2015, a site of over 700 square metres opposite the anicom Holdings headquarters became a pet-friendly outdoor café. Trailers and a deck formed the space, alongside areas including a dog run.
Movable facilities suited the temporary use of the land.
Testing the layout with a model
A small model of the site was made in two days to explore the layout.
Automated robot wait staff were beyond the budget. An olive tree initially planned as the centrepiece was placed to one side.
Seasonal murals, a logo and a magazine
A wall along one of the trailers was repainted as the seasons changed. The project also included a park map and magazine.
Logo concept and art direction; magazine art direction: James Wright. Logo and magazine design: Takahashi T.
