L'Espoir BLANC位于神戶市岡本，是一座房屋形狀的單體建筑，經營咖啡+甜品店。從正前方的街道看去，Mt. Rokko上空的景色透過第三樓的大型玻璃窗一覽無余。整條街道上，沒有比這座大樓更有開闊視野的建筑物了。

大樓由兩座小型白房子構成，房屋相連，與街道垂直，還有一個碧草如茵的庭院，讓充足的自然光灑進這座開闊的建筑物。兩座白房子形成一條由北至南的通道，墻壁則位于西面，使咖啡+甜品店免遭強烈的陽光照射。三塊隔層地板以厚度一致的鋼架作為窗框，形成了一個三層的混凝土通道，而站立在兩座小屋地板上的人可以通過庭院望見對方。

一個半地下室橫跨庭院，廚房就在地下室對側，顧客可透過商店和庭院觀看甜品的制作。

商店統一采用白色，與品牌理念（blanc為白色的意思）相呼應。天花板、墻壁、地板和桌椅都刷上了特殊的白色。商店采用了不同類型的白漆，呈現出不同的色調，看上去猶如畫面一般輕柔。

光線從南北兩方投射過來，在白漆刷過的東西表面上形成纖細、短暫的陰影。天花板、墻壁、地板和桌椅呈現出深淺不一的白色色調，協調而優美，與光線融為一體。只有甜品看上去似乎漂浮在白色的桌面上，整個室內和各種家具仿佛是盛放甜品的容器。

The "L'Espoir BLANC" single house-shaped building in Okamoto Kobe-city, runs the cafe and sweets shop. Seen from the street in front, an unobstructed view of the sky above the Mt. Rokko comes through the full-scale glass window of the third floor. There is no other building with such an openminded structure elsewhere along this street.

The building is made of two small white houses, which are connected orthogonal to the street with a green courtyard, which allows natural light to flood into the open structure. And two white houses make a kind of tunnel running from the north to the south with walls in the west protecting the shop from strong sunset light. Three pieces of skip-stop floors with steel-frame of same thinness as a sash make the three-stories tunnel made of concrete. Through the courtyard people on the floors of two houses can exchange glances.

A kitchen on a contralateral half basement across the courtyard can give a chance for guests to take a look at making sweets through the roadside shop and the courtyard.

The shops are unified all with a white color taking a harmony to the brand concept, "blanc(white)". Ceilings, walls, floors, tables and even chairs are painted with a special white, which was made of several types of white paints with different reflection and tone, reminiscent of a delicate touch of a picture surface.

The light from the north and south creates delicate temporal shadows on the surface of the white painted matters in the shop. Various whites from ceilings, walls, floors, tables, and chairs are harmonizing and blending in light. Among them, only sweets appear to be floating above the white plate on the table. The interior and furniture has become a vast bowl for sweets.
