Ebetsu Tsutaya Books is a lifestyle bookstore in Ebetsu, Hokkaido, Japan. The building is formed of three blocks, themed on mind, life and food, arranged in five zones to reduce the visual mass of a structure spanning 140 meters. The interior spaces frame views of the neighboring forest and keep a sense of unity. Raw materials create a calm atmosphere, including locally produced bricks, concrete flooring, exposed structural steel, furniture of wood and steel, and the lighting design. The bookstore also hosts events for local residents.
