Details

Emerging from the mixed woodland, one steps onto a plateau enveloped in the silence carved by the valley. There appears a building without a facade, its bamboo roof alone blending into the landscape. To avoid compromising reverence for nature, the circular structure is nestled at the plateau's edge, opening up a radial view. From the northern entrance, sunlight illuminates the greenery and valley below. Meticulously noise-free details spatialize the architecture, allowing nature to be experienced as scenery. Externally, its form, assimilated with nature, creates a new landscape, aiming for architecture that maximizes this site's appeal.
