The geometric shape of a three-dimensional “triskele” was created as a symbol of a strong, rising center, and the outer skin was designed to blend in with the ground, with a motif of the “pit dwellings” of Japan’s Jomon period.

It is a place where you can listen to the sounds of nature, look up at the sky, and pray quietly in the midst of nature.

When I’m not analyzing the latest architectural trends, you’ll probably find me searching for hidden gems in cityscapes or appreciating the beauty of well-crafted spaces. After all, great design—like great connections—can be found in the most unexpected places. Speaking of connections, because architecture isn’t the only thing that brings people together.
