passage house

Outline
A series of corridor-like buildings are inserted into the slope with a 45-degree angle. The entrance is approached from the road below the slope up 84 steps. While moving at the same height, visitors can experience various relationships with the ground, from a cave-like place buried under the ground to a place floating in the air. The openings surrounding the space, which protrude from the ground in a U-shape, are made visible as surfaces by the use of glass. The exterior walls are finished with a rough coat of resin mortar and the roof is made of FRP.
