Inspired by the idea of "starting here and continuing to grow," the facade features vertical louvers rising from the second floor and a series of continuous curved surfaces created using custom formwork. The upward lines and flowing forms evoke the process of growth, giving the building an organic rhythm and distinctive identity.

The office floors, open on three sides, are designed to maximize natural light and ventilation, creating an open environment where people, light, and air move freely throughout the space. While incorporating meeting rooms and private booths, the layout carefully balances functionality with visual openness and smooth circulation, fostering a comfortable sense of connection across each floor.
On the top floor, a lounge and rooftop terrace provide spaces for relaxation and interaction. Warm materials, including wood integrated into the raised ceiling and textured curtain fabrics, together with carefully considered lighting, create a calm atmosphere distinct from the work areas. As the ambiance changes throughout the day, the space accommodates everything from casual breaks to tenant gatherings and special events.

Combining the convenience of an urban location with the openness of its waterfront setting, the design supports evolving ways of working while providing a place where businesses can continue to grow.

I’m donut? / dacō Yokohama Rinko Park

An Open Bakery Cafe in Harmony with Sea and Greenery

Architect Taiju Yamashita designed the mixed-use complex YOKOHAMA TIMBER WHARF. On its first floor, DRAFT designed the new store interiors for two openings: I’m donut? and dacō. These include the wildly popular fresh donut specialty shop I’m donut?, a key player in Japan’s ongoing donut boom, and dacō, the sister brand of the Fukuoka-born bakery AMAM DACOTAN. As the largest permanent store opening since the brands’ launch, this project called for a spatial experience that could only be achieved in its unique location, alongside the lush, nature-filled waterfront of Yokohama’s Rinko Park.
