Mirrors is a roadside cafe designed for a plot by side of a row of cherry trees. The building has two wings and looks as if it has split in half symmetrically and arranged around a single Camilla tree, which stands on a patch of white gravel with tile edging. Internally, vertical roof struts of motif of the tree blanch make visitors feeling of a rest under the tree. A bank of cherry blossom is mirrored by the reflective gables. This feature creates a cherry forest in this residential town.
