The clients requested us to design a building that blends into nature. Living space is located 7 meters above the garage level, accessible from the entrance through the underground stairs. The building is composed of a concrete wall structure primarily in consideration for the expected heavy snow load, but the structure also perfectly serves as large frames through which magnificent natural views are seen like works of art.
This building was named “TAKI” (waterfall) inspired from the landscape design where water drawn from the nearby creek flows into the entrance approach.
