The site lies in Hashima City, Gifu Prefecture, framed by expansive rice fields and a tranquil rural environment. Rice ears sway in the wind descending from nearby mountains, creating a prominent seasonal and visual presence. The setting emphasizes low-lying agricultural land and unobstructed views toward sloping terrain, fostering a quiet, natural atmosphere. Architectural response centers on maintaining connection to the surrounding paddies and the mountain backdrop, using context and sensory movement to shape the spatial and experiential qualities of the project.
