这家店专门卖菠萝蛋糕(在台湾很受欢迎)，是竹篮的形状。它是建立在一个名为“吉谷-谷米”的联合系统上的，这是日本木制建筑中的传统方法(常在Shoji中观察到：相同宽度的垂直和交叉块相互交织在一起，形成一个木栅)。

This shop, specialized in selling pineapple cake (popular sweet in Taiwan), is in the shape of a bamboo basket. It is built on a joint system called “Jiigoku-Gumi,” traditional method used in Japanese wooden architecture (often observed in Shoji: vertical and cross pieces in the same width are entwined in each other to form a muntin grid).

正常情况下，这两块在二维中相交，但在这里，它们在三维空间(或立方体)中以30度的方式组合在一起，形成了一个像云一样的结构。在此基础上，每片木片的截面尺寸减小到60 mm×60 mm。

Normally the two pieces intersect in two dimensions, but here they are combined in 30 degrees in 3 dimensions (or in cubic), which came into a structure like a cloud. With this idea, the section size of each wood piece was reduced to as thin as 60mm×60mm.

由于这座建筑位于青山住宅区的中心，我们想给它一些柔和而微妙的氛围，这与混凝土盒子完全不同。我们希望这条街和建筑应该有很好的化学反应。

As the building is located in middle of the residential area in Aoyama, we wanted to give some soft and subtle atmosphere to it, which is completely different from a concrete box. We expect that the street and the architecturecould be in good chemistry.
