A-brewery

Formerly a school, previously a tofu factory, and soon to be a brewery. Sitting on the edge of the Notori river right next to a giant Kusunoki-tree crawling out of the riverbank. The new-brewery plans to bring jobs and activity back to the historical town of Akizuki – just like its old days. The design of the building acts as a social-centre for residents and visitors (both human and non-human). Location: Akizuki, Japan Program: Brewery & taproom Year: 2021- Floor area: 410m2 / 124坪 Team: aki(architects) + Asakura Labo + Kuroiwa Structural Engineers
