This is a roadside store of the eyewear brand JINS in Maebashi City, Gunma Prefecture. Aiming to coexist with the local community, it has an outdoor plaza that can be used freely and a bakery cafe. The height of the exterior wall is gradually lowered from the entrance to the east, separating it from the adjacent residential area. The roof and exterior walls are made of 0.4-mm-thick copper sheets that have been treated with sulfurization, and are arranged in a combination of three different widths to distribute the color spots and unify the overall tone.
