PROJECT : 66

2025

門司港に根付き、地ビールを醸造する「MOJIKO BEER」の出来立てのビールを、工場直送で楽しめる直営レストランの計画である。敷地は門司港の一角に建つ築約50年の既存ビルで、既存躯体のポテンシャルと港町ならではのロケーションを最大限に生かすことを主題に改修を行った。二層吹き抜けの 1階には、新たに幅2×高6mの大開口を設けることで、街に対して大きく開かれた構えとした。初めて訪れる人でも気軽に立ち寄りやすい、開放的でカジュアルな客席空間としている。一方、3階は雰囲気を切り替え、関門海峡を望みながらビール片手にコース料理をゆったりと楽しめる、落ち着きと特別感のある客席とした。必要以上に建築では表現せず、既にそこにあるよさを生かした門司港らしい場を目指した。

This project is a company-owned restaurant where freshly brewed beer from MOJIKO BEER, a local craft brewery rooted in Mojiko, can be enjoyed directly from the factory. The site is an existing building of approximately 50 years old located in a corner of the Mojiko port area. The renovation was guided by the theme of maximizing both the potential of the existing structure and the unique character of the port-town setting. On the first floor, a new large opening measuring 2 meters in width and 6 meters in height was introduced into the double-height space, creating a façade that opens generously to the street. The seating area is designed as an open and casual space where even first-time visitors can feel comfortable stopping by. In contrast, the third floor offers a shift in atmosphere: a calm and refined dining space where guests can relax with a beer in hand and enjoy a course meal while overlooking the Kanmon Straits. Rather than expressing more than necessary through architecture, the project aims to create a place that feels distinctly Mojiko by making the most of the qualities already present on the site.
