Basic Module and Layering Strategy

A. MEDITATION SPACE WHY LAYERING

Since the space is at a premium in Tokyo, and so recent developments have been built at ever-increasing heights in order to get the most properties from a smaller footprint.

To maximize the use of space, divided the space into the upper and lower layers to achieve the functional distinction and also maintain a less footprint is undoubtedly a reasonable solution.

The upper layer can be more pure as a meditation space, while the lower level is more of a small node of the urban context, adding micro public functions to the surrounding without affecting the original urban context.

The upper floor is the core meditation space, keeping a certain distance from the city. The spiraling steps act as a traffic connection and a buffer between the stressful city and the small tranquil room.

The lower level is completely open to the public, minimizing the footprint of the installation and serving as a resting place and a tree hole for sharing stories, and chatting or just like a temporary shelter.
