Mountainfoot Base

A weekend house at mountainfoot and aims to become a community base in a depopulated area of a super-aging society.
The curved roof follows the ridgeline of the mountain that the glossy ceiling vaguely reflects the activities and surrounding environment.and two layers of sliding glass doors and lattice glass sliding doors are gently forming a space.
The 3D curved roof is created using a common method by local craftsmen that is constructed by just small changes in the angles of the beams for each span.
