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.

Completed in Kurashiki Okayama in 2021.

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.
