Design Details
- Unique Properties
- The exterior of the building is layered in a gradation of blue and green colored strata and faults extending skyward, inspired by the colors of the the surrounding clear blue skies over the hilltops, and those of the neighboring park, which shines in the brilliant sunlight with deep and rich greenery. Like the pattern of a geological formation showing constantly changing expressions, the facade changes its expression in a variety of ways depending on the position and incidence of the viewer's gaze, inviting the viewer to experience the richness of nature's power, and rhythmically bringing out the elements of the surrounding landscape into a single flow.
- Inspiration
- -Colorful Strata and the Sparkle of Spring Water- We performed the design for a residential building located in a hilly area. Surrounded by rolling hills covered in lush green trees, the building site is set in a large hilly area where cross sections of the exposed stratum can be seen and a park with a fountain filled with spring water can be found. Thus, we set out to integrate into our design the structure of the earth while echoing the natural forces shaping the rising hills, strata/soil, and spring water found therein.
