“…the fish theme has been worked into all aspects of eponymous cafe. Tiles on the double facade overlap in a pattern reminiscent of the scales of the koi carp. Along the back wall of the cafe, tiles in a reddish colour have been stacked on their ends create a similar pattern…”

Ajiroen is a minimal architecture project located in Tokyo, Japan, designed by TYRANT. The purpose of this project was to renovate and open up five buildings owned by Ajiroen, a long-established retail shop specialized in Japanese tea in Yokoyama-cho, Hachioji City, to local people as a commercial and cultural facility. Located seven or eight minutes by foot from the north gate of JR Hachioji Station, the rectangular plot is sandwiched between Koshu Kaido Avenue and a public walk on the north and south sides. On this plot five buildings stand close together: two storehouses (kura) built in the late 19th century to early 20th century, a Japanese-style house and a shop built immediately after World War II, and a reinforced concrete building built in the late 1960s to the early 1970s. As part of this project, a small town block was created as a conglomeration of the history of Hachioji and the consolidated elements of the community by rebuilding the shop, renovating the four other buildings, laying a garden path (roji) north and south through the elongated plot, and making a small open space garden (niwa) facing the public walk.
