| DESIGN NAME: Taki PRIMARY FUNCTION: Landscape INSPIRATION: Taki is a Waterfall created by a craftsman and owner who loves nature. When the landscape work started, the craftsman though it would be a brilliant waterfall which had been let out of the site during the construction work, and proposed the Taki design using the stream to the owner, which was not in the original plan, and it was adopted. The most difficult part was the positioning of the drain pipe that would create the flow of the creek, while carefully balancing it with the concrete table. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Taki is a landscape project that the designers for a site in Niseko. We wanted to create an ideal space while respecting the existing building as well as its natural environment. The design includes a staircase made out of concrete slabs, the same as used for the exterior walls. A waterfall was created by sourcing natural spring water. The walkway is lined with a great array of seasonal flowers to express the four seasons of Hokkaido. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The landscape is so unique that it catches the attention of passersby, allowing them to enjoy nature in addition to its functionality and design. In the place using soft stone, you can enjoy the atmosphere of ancient Japanese Japonisme. The concrete steps are made of concrete, and the concrete steps are made of concrete, and the concrete steps are made of concrete, and the concrete steps are made of concrete. The concrete steps are made of wide concrete, which gives the appearance of floating, so you can enjoy not only the functional aspect of climbing the stairs, but also the concrete steps themselves. The waterfall in front of the building is made of natural running water, and the water continues to flow without freezing even in the coldest winter, providing a healing effect to those who pass by. In addition, the landscape at night is very beautiful with effective lighting and a fantastic space, offering a completely different atmosphere! PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: This project took approximately five years from design proposal to completion. It is located in Niseko, Hokkaido. |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Concrete was used for the steps to create a sense of unity with the architecture. The concrete steps were randomly sized and randomly placed to create a moving arch. A waterfall was created by artificial means, taking advantage of the natural flow of the river. Contrary to the surface's rugged image, soft stone was used for the approach on the back side to create a soft space. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Considering the large amount of huge stones on the site from waste materials and the presence of natural running water on the site, a waterfall, a landmark of this landscape, was created in front of the building using traditional craftsmanship. By daring to incorporate natural running water into the design as a waterfall, the impact of the landscape was further enhanced. Concrete, the same material used in the construction, was used to create concrete steps with a sense of design. The concrete steps were designed to be out of balance with the slope, without any regularity. The combination of different materials, such as masonry made of natural materials on both sides and concrete steps made of man-made materials, makes the space even more attractive. And the concrete steps made of man-made materials, making the space even more attractive. TAGS: Waterfall, Concrete table, Masoctnry, Coexistence with nature, Four seasos RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Because the building is located on a steeply sloping lot surrounded by nature, we focused on designing a landscape that takes advantage of the nature and the slope, which is a blessing. The waterfall, a landmark of the project, is a one-of-a-kind waterfall that utilizes natural stone masonry, hand- crafted by artisans, and natural running water. Soft stone and hard stone are used in different locations, and different materials of the same type are used on the site to expand the range of design. The concrete steps, with their ingenious use of concrete, are made to look as if they are floating with a sense of massiveness, and stimulate a spirit of exploration. The use of hard materials, while taking advantage of the natural surroundings, creates a landscape with a crisp design, a design that inspires exploration, and a smart design. CHALLENGE: A natural stream, which had been kept outside of the site during the construction phase, was used as a waterfall by a craftsman's suggestion during the landscape construction. The biggest challenge was to balance the thickness of the concrete steps, the slope of the land, and the depth of the drain pipe. Careful calculations were necessary because the slope of the land changes the strength of the water flow, and the slope disturbs the balance of the concrete steps.

NAME: Edea Corporation PROFILE: Many of our clients are particular about their gardens and want them to be special. Since no two gardens have the same environmental conditions, we create the best original design for each space for customer. In design, we are conscious of the conflicting aspects of the design and give the design an edge through interaction. For example, if the space is in a forest, I insert artificial objects, and if it is in the city, I insert elements of the forest. The materials used are almost never ready-made materials, but rather original materials. And also, the main materials used are stone, iron, and wood, and almost no artificial materials are used. By narrowing down the types of materials, we have created a simple and sharp finish. We also differentiate ourselves from other companies in terms of design by devising ways to showcase the materials. In order to increase customer satisfaction, we spend a lot of time in meetings and make no compromises. We are not influenced by trends, but always keep in mind that the design will not get boring even after years of use. |
