info “When I was looking at the steep sloping landscape extending rom the ridge along got east side of the valley, I decided to design a building whose roof grows out as an extension towards the valley from the steep slope fo the landscape. The edge of the new roof can be folded up to respond to the valley. But later on, as the design proceeded, the edge of the new roof became like a small mountain. Maybe it was influenced by the figure of the mountain behind it. This was the first time I did a shibamune (thatched) roof. I wanted to plant roof iris, which is the most popular plant for shibamune in Japan and France, however the founder of this school, Mariko Miyagi, does not like purple very much, so we planted another plant that has red flowers.
