| DESIGN NAME: Saimyo Temple PRIMARY FUNCTION: Religious Institution INSPIRATION: When I first visited this place I was amazed by the stunning view and refreshing breeze. I had an idea of building a spacious room enclosed in glass where one could enjoy the beautiful surroundings without compromising on comfort. Additionally I thought of creating a peaceful space for prayer and meditation. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This is a building located on the premises of a temple in Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture. Its design highlights horizontal elements. The structure features two roofs with varying heights creating a sense of height and volume. The design seamlessly integrates with the surrounding environment by creating a sense of volume.

SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Structure Wood Reinforced Concrete one-story structure Site area: 328.52 square metre Floor area: 65.56 square metre Building area: 80.58 square metre TAGS: Temple, Buddha, Kurashiki, Japan, wooden, RESEARCH ABSTRACT: One of the features of this temple's design is its deep eaves. In traditional Japanese architecture these eaves are of great importance. It is It has not only a functional meaning such as adjusting solar radiation according to the season or protecting the exterior walls in rainy areas but also a psychological meaning such as the comfort of being under the eaves. For this reason we designed the space with wide eaves so that visitors can relax. CHALLENGE: The client wanted the architecture to be unobstructed by buildings. The building was to be constructed a little lower than the main temple. A gently sloping roof was adopted to keep the height low.
