KADO Culture Experience Center
Capstone Project

KADO is a modern Japanese culture center with features reminiscent of old Japan.The building is located in Steveston Village, which has a rich history of Japanese culture that spans decades. The intent of KADO is to provide a cozy place for people to gather while educating visitors about an important part of the community’s history. Through the concept of “impermanence and extension to nature”, the space brings architectural designs from Japan to create a sense of Zen,calm and harmony. Patrons gather here to connect and relax through music, art, tea and food. KADO creates a unique way to experience centuries of tradition from a bygone era.
