Concept
The object of this project was to build an additional memorial service hall and a room for priests to the existent main building of the temple. On both sides of the room is a Japanese style resting space, which is connected to the service hall and main building by a corridor. The service hall is simple, with a copper plate roof and Japanese paper style glass walls and doors. This controls the amount of sunlight and creates a bright yet quiet space suitable for praying.
