Kengo Kuma - Yugawara Station Square

June 2018

Yugawara Station Square is a small but beautifully handled project, and finally stopping after passing by so many times was worth it. The timber canopy and gentle rooflines create a welcoming transition between town and train. The space feels warm, open, and carefully detailed, showing how thoughtful design can elevate even a modest station into a calm, characterful public environment.
