This project in the Ugandan capital involved the development of a Japanese restaurant and stores selling Japanese products. It appears that the local standard of construction was such that heavy machinery could not be used and that it was essential to curb shipping costs and the use of expensive construction materials in order to keep the overall cost down. Accordingly, the architect chose fast-growing, cheap local eucalyptus—usually used for scaffolding—as the structural material and decided to use a construction method that involved assembling the timber into strong, lightweight trusses that were steadily erected manually, without the use of machines. Traditional local thatch was used for the roofing, creating a well-ventilated, pleasantly shaded space that takes advantage of the stable local climate which, as the city is located just under the equator at an altitude of 1,200 m, maintains a temperature of 30°C throughout the year. The architect fulfilled their fundamental role of finding a mode of construction that suited the local conditions, in the form of its climate, culture, and construction technology. In addition, their ethical stance and the results of the design chime well with the philosophy of the Japanese cuisine and products sold there, making it an appropriate approach to commerce. Overall, this is a highly praiseworthy project.
