Bio

- Wisp of clouds -  

Brisk clouds are drawn clearly on the glass of
the dental clinic at daytime.
At sunset, they change into faint, washy mist
like lines of smoke.

The surface is double structure.
A sheet with clouds design is attached on the
outside glass, also the same design is printed
on the inside PVC sheet.
Besides, putting the indirect illumination
between films, magical perspectives occur when
you see the building from the front.
This is such a visional presentation as Japanese
traditional bed net, Kaya.
However, for the patients' privacy, the part where
the treatment rooms are behind is graded washed.

The inside of the clinic is filled with an
invigorating open space that is enhanced by the
4.5m high rooftop.
There, three towering columns are anchored and flow
smoothly to the floor, where the front desk is set
up inorganically as if someone had rolled over an egg.
Part of the innermost wall is diced so that the
sunlight shines into the director's room.
Only this room has pure white tiled floors to make
it seem sacred with opalescence.

From the director's room, you can see the back court,
where green leafy ash trees are planted in the thick
lawn,

full of color filling the sunlit cubic for ornamental
use and catenary illuminations are hung inside of the
dispensary room.
Oval lamps are strung from three locations appearing
as if they are floating like clouds.

The grass on the garden make the temperature of
the ground down, it combats global warming.
The grass photosynthesizes and evaporates, keeping
the air clean up.

At night time, the clouds on the glass hangs over
like ink painting,sumi-e, taking in the reflection
of rain, shadows, and moon.
