About Chosen Temple Budistički hram

Chosen Temple je mali budistički hram smješten u gradu Asakuchi, Okayama, Japan. Zgrada je izgrađena od armiranog betona, a vanjski zidovi obloženi su pažljivo odabranim japanskim granitom. U unutrašnjosti je korištena tradicionalna japanska stolarija, stvarajući miran i topao enterijer. Hram se nalazi na parceli od 950 kvadratnih metara i ima površinu izgradnje od 77 kvadratnih metara. Dizajn postavlja hram u harmoniju sa okolnim pejzažom i nudi posjetiocima tiho mjesto za molitvu i meditaciju uz uživanje u pogledu.
