Details
A wedding complex completed in Koshigaya City. We aimed to create the chapel being sacred, and immaculate. The energy inherent in all beings is transmitted as waves, resonating. In this chapel, it was expressed that the energy for the future spreads as waves. A freestanding frame is 8.5 m high, made of steel pipes in the form of wavy curves, and connected horizontally by inverting the R shape. The spread of the waves is depicted by increasing the number of curves in each frame.
The Jury‘s Statement
A fascinating framework structure that makes energy visible in undulating lines shapes the spatial experience of »St. Wave«. Subtle transitions between light and shadow create a harmonious, spiritual atmosphere. The bold use of transparency and reduction demonstrates in a remarkable way how interior architecture in public spaces achieves outstanding presence through clear design and emotional depth.
