Details
Mixed the aesthetics of nature and purity, with a dialogue of light and shadow to articulate a new vision of Japanese style and Eastern Zen. Summarized into five cores: "natural materials", "weakening", "superposition", "gap" and "softness". The natural cypress is the highlight, and the simulation of the tree branch structure is staggered but full of aesthetic tension. The roof is disassembled to shape a space transition, allowing the large volume to have more varied layers of change.
The Jury‘s Statement
The striking wooden structure made of cypress clearly stands out from the clear architecture and thus becomes the central design element that gives the building an unmistakable identity and creates an incomparable lighting atmosphere inside.
