Daigo Town, in Ibaraki Prefecture is built on the edges of abundant woodlands on the surrounding mountains. Edges of the Forest is a project to connects the residents, the town and the forest. Using only scraps from local lumber mills, a cafe, bookstore, shared office and event space was created using the “edges” of the local forest.  Placemaking at the hands of the local residents brings people together and a space for all was the result.
