Miraie Lext House designed by Kengo Kuma and Associates is a wedding hall and a restaurant in Nagoya, Japan. The venue hosts a wide range of events since its completion in 2018. The project is characterized by its warm and tactile materials and its large roof canopy.
The Design of The Miraie Lext House by Kengo Kuma:
In the center of a busy city (Nagoya), Kengo Kuma made a warm and human banquet hall covered with a large roof. The architects didn’t want a building like a closed box, so they placed the entire structure under a sloped roof to express the space like a well-preserved forest. By using large cedar and larch pieces, they gave a rhythmic variation to the ceiling and walls. Space was further enlivened by the passing of light through the ceiling like komorebi, or light filtering down through the trees in a forest.
