Stone Roof

Kengo Kuma and Associates

Outline: On the exterior walls and roof, granite plates of 125 x 500 x 20 mm are used in three different ways: flat, upright, and in the shadows cast by the plates. The result is a gradation in terms of weight, permeability, and roughness. In addition, the rafters made of bay pine sandwiched between the H-steel are continuous from the interior to the eaves, and the intention is to create an organic and fluid space while showing the structure.
