Before Tadao Ando, who would have thought of using the interplay of space and depth to perfectly blend the solid, rigid cross with the surrounding natural?
In the Chapel on the Water at Hoshino Resorts TOMAMU, there is a pure white cross that stands on the surface of the water, which is a well-known feature. It's all about simplicity and serenity, which is the consistent hallmarks of Tadao Ando's style.
The chapel is nestled in a forest and consists of simple cross elements. It's open for visitation during three specific time slots each day, creating magical moments when people emotionally connect with the architecture and the natural environment.
