Nojiri-ko Nature Platforms
Residential architecture
This lakeside cottage at Nojiri-ko aims to inspire a new lifestyle integrating nature, building, objects and human beings. Five platforms transform functions such as flooring, table, shelf, view reflector and canopy to create different layers of openness, thermal conditions and perspectives.
