在日本北海道以东的北见市，当地公司Jun Igarashi Architects设计了一座独特的建筑，在其木质曲线中融合了商店与家。
“折叠走廊”采取的形状是不寻常的; 它的曲线形状与典型的郊区街景并置，这些街道由更传统的日本房屋组成。这座双层建筑分为私人区域和公共区域，是一对夫妇的工作和生活空间。在外部，建筑看起来难以穿透，木质外墙没有窗户。但走在弯曲的形状内，窗户出现，用自然光照亮家庭和工作场所。通过庭院到达商店的入口是专业酒吧和品酒室 这个区域位于弯曲的底层，在品尝时为客人提供座位，并提供搁架以储存产品。
In Kitami, a city just east of Hokkaido in Japan, local firm Jun Igarashi Architects has designed a unique building that houses both a store and a home within its wood-clad curves.
The shape taken by ‘Corridor of the Fold’ is unusual; its curvilinear form juxtaposed against a typical suburban streetscape populated by more traditional Japanese houses. The double-storey building is divided between private and public quarters, acting as both the work and living space for a couple. Externally, the building appears impenetrable, the wood-clad exterior windowless and bold. But walk inside the curved form, and windows appear, illuminating the home and workplace with natural light. The entrance to the store—a specialist sake bar and tasting room—is reached through the courtyard. Housed on the curved ground floor, this area features seating for guests during tastings, and shelving for storage of products. The floor plan repeats itself on the upper floor, where the space is reserved for the residents of the property.
