Yama-Tani represents a harmonious blend of urban and natural elements, aiming to recreate a village-like atmosphere in Paris, contrasting with the surrounding high-rise structures. This project not only acknowledges but celebrates the landscape, fostering a community environment that thrives on connection and accessibility.
The design incorporates outdoor spaces significantly, with balconies, loggias, terraces, and rooftops enriching the resident experience, while the stepped facade optimizes sunlight penetration, creating a bright, inviting ambiance within.
Kengo Kuma & Associates' use of wood is integral to Yama-Tani, enhancing both the acoustic warmth and thermal comfort, allowing residents to feel a deeper connection to their surrounding environment.
These exterior corridors facilitate smooth transitions between indoor and outdoor living, emphasizing the importance of seasonal change and creating a calming atmosphere conducive to well-being and community interaction.
