Sayama Forest Chapel Hiroshi Nakamura & NAP

The chapel sits on the boundary between the forest and the grave area at top of the hill road in the verdant cemetery park. We focus on creating an architecture that offers a space where people are benevolently watched by the forest, looking up the forest and remember the feeling of reverence for the departed in an eternal sleep in the forest of Sayama. A series of 9 meters height wooden pillars with 60mm flat section is placed between the surrounding trees provides a space to pray under the forest.

The scale of these openings is so strange and...distorts the scale! But it looks amazing. Like a Turkish window cover but massive scale

Divčibare Mountain Home (2015) by EXE Architecture Studio

Photographed by Relja Ivanić 

Location: Divčibare, Serbia

The house is located near the popular tourist resort Divčibare, on the slope of Mount Maljen in western Serbia. Although the plot has been overrun with small pine trees, it still bears the original character of the open field. To minimize disturbance to the site and as a reference to the surrounding hilly terrain, the house is built into the hillside. Designed by combining and connecting the two main monolithic volumes, light and dark. These forms merge with the natural environment of low pine vegetation and steep rocky terrain. On the south side, the white portion of the house connects to the outside through a grand picture window, which guides the transition from the artificial to the natural. The black half of the house draws inspiration from original mountain homes. The structure is emphasized through the use of natural materials such astraditional timber shingle cladding. Through the duality of the house, with two main volumes; the intent was to merge the traditional and the contemporary to create a unique aesthetic and a structure sympathetic to its surroundings.
