Hat on the Ridge Residence and Gallery

Earthen floor connects with the bedrock, and square roof opens to the landscape - The space was vertically diversified by adding the floor on the ground and levitating the roof over the earth. The roof lowers down towards the roof edge and heightens up in the center. Each of the four edges of the roof opens to a different view: the mountain, the valley, the village, and the sky. Responding to these rich surroundings, each edge is flipped up to make four different spaces with different views. In the corners, the upper level floor is cut through to the ground to connect the two levels.

We aim to create architecture that people will continue to love as time passes. Rather than pursue designs that look new on the surface or are full of unnecessary features, we feel it's most important to design comfortable spaces and attractive forms. In the 21st century, the diversification of lifestyles, climate change, and other factors have led to a greater variety of considerations when designing architecture than ever before. When we rethink about architecture, we believe it is even more important to think flexibly and free from preconceived ideas.
