The project site, situated alongside a lush green park, presented an opportunity for the client and architect to fully leverage its natural surroundings. Designed to seamlessly blend with its environment, the project uses simple and natural materials. Opting for Shou Sugi Ban charring on the exterior achieves a double win: the burnt wood recedes visually into the landscape, and the material's scale complements the surrounding architecture. Furthermore, the charred layer offers low-maintenance durability. The screen provides visual separation from neighboring buildings while also effectively blocking harsh sunlight from entering the structure by integrating landscape vegetation growing on the screen.
