Miaki Atelier / Tamotsu Teshima Architect & Associates

Source Summary

This small building is nestled quietly within a forest near the headquarters of a timber company in Ehime, Japan. The client had long been drawn to the distant mountain views from this location and envisioned building something there. Although the site contained only a small area of level ground, it was constrained by the steep slope rising behind it, requiring careful study to determine what kind of architecture could appropriately inhabit the terrain.
