深い山の中の静かな川岸に、自然と建築とが溶け合った状態をつくろうと考えた。川と住宅との間には水をはり、蓮を植え、住まいが蓮池を媒介にして川へ、そして対岸の森へと連続していく状態を作ろうと考えた。 建築自体の構成は穴を基本としている。建築は２棟に分割され、その間に生じた孔の形状をした大きなテラスが、裏側の森と対岸の森とをつなぐ役割をはたしている。壁面もまた無数の孔としてデザインされている。石という重量感のある素材を用いながら、風の吹き抜けるような軽やかな壁面を作った。20cm×60cm、厚さ30mmの薄いトラバーチンの板を8㎜×16mmのフラットバーに吊るし、チェッカーボード状のポーラスなパターンを構成するディテールとすることで、石でありながら紙のように、そして蓮の花弁のように軽やかな壁を作ることができた。
Lotus HouseLotus House Eastern Japan 2005.06 Villa 530.27m2 A house by a quiet river, deep in the mountains. I have thought of filling water between the river and the house and planting lotus so that the dwelling would be conveyed by the lotus to the river and continue into the woods on the other side of the river. The architecture itself is basically composed of holes. It is divided into two wings, with the hole-shaped terrace in between serving to connect the wood in the back of the house with

I believe this was taken in the 1890s in Ueno Park, Tokyo. If you cross the lake and look back, here's what you will see --- in the distance, the very tea house we are now standing in : www.flickr.com/photos/24443965@N08/2346311123/ Although the image at the above-mentioned link was photographed by T. ENAMI, I don't think the Geisha photo above was by him. It appears to be mid-afternoon, with the ladies finishing up their own meal after the lunch crowd had gone, and the before the evening crowds arrive for some refreshment. I wasn't going to post this one, as I thought the chemical stains were too much (all over the seated Geisha to the left, and the floor and pillar). However, I thought a view looking OUT from a Tea House is rather rare. Further, how many geisha shots do we have where it's possible to LOOK RIGHT THROUGH HER OBI and off into the scenery ? That would be the Obi of the Geisha standing at the railing. So, the stains are forgiven, and we can just pretend they are shadows playing across the scene. For another shot looking INSIDE a Tea House, here's this : www.flickr.com/photos/24443965@N08/2819980890/ And if you are into Lotus Blossoms, here's these : www.flickr.com/photos/24443965@N08/2843844362/ www.flickr.com/photos/24443965@N08/2543634663/
