アッセンブリッジ・ナゴヤが始まった2016年に、約20年間空き家だった元・寿司屋が、LPACK.のプロジェクトとして、建築家や大工､「空き家再生プロジェクト」参加者らとともに改修され、まちの社交場《UCO》として開かれました。さまざまな活動の場として機能していたUCOは、2018年10月に一帯の長屋群の取り壊しにより解体され、駐車場となりました。その後、向かいの空き家を借り受け、LPACK.と建築家、大工、建築を学ぶ学生らの改修により、2019年3月に新たな活動の拠点《NUCO》が始動。ガラス扉や内部のカウンターなど、UCOから部材を移設し、UCOとNUCOの両空間が持つ機能が編み込まれるように設計することで、NUCOがかつて編み物教室だった歴史を継承しています。現在は年間を通して、有志で集まったメンバーを中心にカフェを運営しながら、まちの社交場として開いています。

In 2016, when Assembridge NAGOYA was launched, a former sushi bar that had been vacant for about 20 years was renovated as a project of L PACK. with architects, carpenters, and participants of the Vacant-houses Renova – tion School, and opened as a social space, UCO. While UCO was used as a venue for various activities, it was demolished in October 2018 following the demolition of the nagaya area (Japanese traditional houses connected under a single ridge) and turned into a car park. Afterward, the vacant house across the street was rented and renovated by L PACK., architects, carpenters, and architecture students, and became a new base of activity named NUCO in March 2019. The history of NUCO’s former role as a knitting school is being carried on by relocating components from UCO, such as the glass doors and interior counters, and designing the space so that the functions of both UCO and NUCO are woven together. Today, NUCO is open year-round as a hub for the social circle, with a cafe run by members who have raised their hands to join its operation.
