An Exotic Flower Shop Where Less Is More

March 18, 2013

When Japanese architects Nadamoto Yukiko designed Flower Shop Green Life, they drew inspiration from the art of calligraphy, specifically from the void between characters that gives the writing its beauty.

With only 20 square meters (or 215 square feet) to work with, Nadamoto Yukiko opted for a warm white paint palette to open up the room as if it were a calligrapher’s blank canvas. The only color in the building being the single birch door and window frame—as if it were an art gallery, Flower Shop Green Life’s minimal interior allows the individual colors and forms of flowers to stand on their own. Visit Flower Shop Green Life in Kushiro City, Hokkaido and Nadamoto Yukiko for more information.
