Road Side Station Mashiko

Outline
The roofs are aligned with the ridgeline of the mountain, and their slopes are aligned with each other. The wooden structure, with a maximum span of 32 meters, is made of locally grown yamizo cedar, which is processed at a local laminated wood factory. The beams have a uniform cross-section, but as the span increases, the pitch of the beams is reduced. The trapezoidal walls that support the structure were finished with local soil.
