The building is located on the grounds of a temple in Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture. The design emphasizes horizontal elements. It features two roofs of different heights, creating a sense of height and volume. Creating a sense of volume seamlessly integrates the design into the surrounding environment. With its spectacular views and fresh breezes, the temple is a peaceful space for prayer and meditation in a spacious glass walled room where one can enjoy the beautiful surroundings.
