The structural frame system consists of the diagonal grid columns made of plywood, and the V-shape CLT beams spanning between them. The folded roofs and exterior walls composed of large CLT panels wrap the whole interior space with the strong existence of Japanese cider wood. By shifting the structural frame units according to the site, the interior space is gently articulated by the diagonal grid columns and gains the flowing movement at the same time. The continuous and intimate atmosphere of the interior space make people feel somehow connected and relaxed.
