Yoshihiro Hirotani | Architect

I was intrigued by these 2 community centers in Toyama Prefecture, Japan. They were built back to back, and are the recent work of Yoshihiro Hirotani of Archivision. I love the use of wood in both pieces, as well the considerations for space in regards to the flow of people. Pay close attention to the exquisite furniture. It was all designed by architect Makoto Koizumi.
