The Design

About Fuwaku Asuinrakennus

Rakennus on moderni tulkinta perinteisistä tekniikoista ja käsityötaidosta. Viistokattojen syvät räystäät ja puisten säleikköjen lineaarinen vaikutelma yhdessä maalattujen seinien kanssa luovat rauhallisen ulkoisen tunnelman. Sisustuksessa on kuusikerroksinen kasettikatto, joka koostuu vaaka- ja pystysuorista linjoista, ja perinteisten maalattujen seinien kauneus sekä ainutlaatuinen rakenteellinen kauneus ilmentävät japanilaista estetiikkaa ja erinomaista suunnittelua.
