The forest, Zushi is amply. But at the same time it’s very deep
and overwhelming. To face the deep forest and take it as a part of life at
there, we have to think about how to make a distance between the nature and
life. The distance is also important for the harmonious relation with
surroundings.
We adjusted the distance and relation with surroundings by
gathering Japanese red pine column (57/120mm, 560 pieces), which is like trees
extended from forest. It’s like rotate a log house to vertical. By the density
of columns from @57mm to @1820mm, the width of columns slowly change the
function from wall to fix window, ventilation window, then entrance. There is
no partition of column, wall and opening, only the density come out and go
together with trees in the forest. And this density of columns makes the
structural redundancy.
The living environment open to forest and belong to surroundings, but at
the same time those keep moderate distance each other. Then this relation
create an unified environment, and the life at there is like walking in the
forest.
