Ryouriyado Yamazaki

This is the Onsen Ryokan street on the Echizen coast of Fukui Prefecture facing the sea in Japan. The specialty of this spa town in Hokuriku is the Echizen crab dish. They got consultation from a Japanese inn executive who provide the dish. It was a request to change the RC inn to wooden structure. There were two reasons. One was the RC construction buildings deteriorated by severe sea breeze had ended useful life within 40 years. Another was to build a wooden healing inn and to entertain customers for Echizen cuisine.

The House for Contemporary Art

This home was designed for an art appreciator and amateur artist who wanted a “house like an art museum”. Planned with careful consideration for air circulation as well as for the harsh, snowy climate of the Japan Sea coast, the structure is composed of white boxes of varying scale that frame spaces like pictures. One of the main concepts is 'Seamless Spatial Composition'. You can circulate through the spaces in this home looking at the owner’s collection of artwork just as if you were passing through galleries in a museum.

Re-leaf

In each autumn, fallen leaves are everywhere on the street, not be used. To figure out a way of fallen leaves and give trees more fertilizer, the team find a solution in the tree pools design. Return to the Roots is the solution of fallen leaves. Semi-closed tree pool can effectively avoid water runoff. Trees are spread fertilizer which is rot by their own fallen leaves in the enclosed space formed by the tree pool, so as to increase soil nutrients and stimulate tree growth.

The joint between both is defined by an almost diagonal line through the cube. Two materials, plant and stone, a simple shape, following Mies van der Rohes claim:"Less is more".

The style is probably Organic-Eclectic, shape can be geometrically described as a combination of overlapping spheres, displaced relatively one to another, forming two asymmetrical corpora with different internal areas and balconies.

Chapel on the Hill

After standing derelict for more than 40 years, a dilapidated Methodist chapel in the north of England has been transformed into a self-catering holiday home for 7 people. The architects have retained the original characteristics – the tall Gothic windows and the main congregation hall – turning the chapel into a harmonious and comfortable space flooded with daylight. This 19th century building is located in a rural English countryside offering panoramic views to the rolling hills and the beautiful countryside.
