A contemporary take on traditional Japanese Architecture. As always the wood work is just exquisite. My respect and salutations to the wonderful carpenters.
For those who don not know about Sukiya Architecture, you can please read this snapshot:
Overview of Sukiya Architecture
Sukiya architecture is a traditional Japanese style that originated in the late 16th century. It was initially developed for tea houses and later adapted for various types of buildings, including private residences and restaurants. This architectural style emphasizes natural materials and rustic simplicity.
Key Characteristics
Design Elements
Natural Materials: Primarily uses wood, often left in its natural state, sometimes with bark still attached.
Room Layout: Typically features small rooms, often with tatami flooring, creating an intimate atmosphere.
Harmonious Integration: Designed to blend seamlessly with the surrounding environment, reflecting a refined taste.
Aesthetic Principles
Simplicity: Focuses on understated elegance and beauty, avoiding excessive decoration.
Tea House Influence: The design is rooted in the aesthetics of the Japanese tea ceremony, promoting tranquility and contemplation.
Historical Development
Origins
Initial Use: Developed during the Azuchi-Momoyama period (1568–1600) for tea houses, with the first notable example being the Coloured Shoin designed by Sen no Rikyū.
Edo Period Popularity: Gained widespread popularity among townspeople during the Edo period (1600–1868), leading to many homes being built in this style.
Modern Adaptations
Contemporary Use: While originally focused on traditional materials, modern interpretations of sukiya architecture incorporate contemporary materials like steel and concrete, maintaining the style's core principles.
Architectural Influence: Influenced modern architects who blend sukiya elements with Western design concepts, creating unique hybrid spaces.
Sukiya architecture remains a significant aspect of Japanese cultural heritage, celebrated for its beauty and connection to nature."

"The symmetrical structure is a collection of horizontal enfilades, intersecting across a 260-square-meter plan, carefully inserted among the existing casuarina trees. Situated at the center of a future development, four facades are treated equally. The building has no back; every side is considered important. The form anticipates the buildings that will eventually surround it, each future structure facing inward toward this garden at the center."

Just gorgeous. I live in coastal city with 10million plus people and we still do not have a marina.
"The complex is located on a peninsula, which is why the building—and consequently its roof—follows the shoreline of the lake in plan. The promenade gently rises over the building and descends behind it, forming a loop that allows walkers to return to its older section. Its surface is made of larch decking, consistent with the earlier parts of the promenade. On the inner side, we designed a continuous wooden bench overlooking the lake. Along the outer side, decorative greenery runs the full length in a lowered planting bed."

"Compressed earth blocks, wire-cut brick, and hollow clay blocks form the envelope, their textures carrying through without excessive finish. Overhead, deep, pitched roofs clad in Mangalore tiles extend well beyond the walls, casting a consistent band of shade and giving the structure a protective edge against the climate. The roofscape, while familiar in form, is adapted with depth and layering to suit the context. The foundation, on the other hand, uses granite leftover waste and slats from nearby quarries, forming the greater part of a completely load-bearing structure, with minimal usage of concrete for the building."

"Material continuity plays a central role in the intervention. The use of sablón—a locally sourced soil derived from decomposed granite—unifies pavements, seating tiers and walls, establishing a direct dialogue with the historic fabric of the gardens. Complemented by lime renders and Mediterranean vegetation, the material palette reinforces the project's integration within its environment while ensuring durability and low maintenance."

"The house extends across a single storey and is organised into two volumes: one for communal living, containing the kitchen, dining room and living room; the other, arranged around an inner courtyard, accommodates the private areas with the bedrooms. This clear functional division creates two distinct atmospheres: the elevated section, oriented towards the afternoon sun and open to the views, naturally becomes the main living space, while the central, cooler, shaded area provides seclusion and rest. Its positioning avoids views of neighbouring buildings, prioritising a connection with the immediate natural surroundings."

"The pavilion has no front or back. It engages both the Great Lawn and the Small Lawn, allowing performances to unfold in multiple directions and supporting a wide range of uses. The stage is set into the ground, forming a continuous slope that integrates access, seating, and performance into a unified surface. When not in use for events, the pavilion serves as an open, shaded space for daily occupation."

"A living surface. This roof is not just a structure. It is a living surface, sinuous, sensitive to the environment. A undulating geometry that breathes with the climate and transforms the technical into poetic. When it rains, it activates: water descends between the folds of the bricks, drawing new, unpredictable shapes that make the invisible visible. Natural light enters with precise calculation, dialoguing with the climate, with time, with those who inhabit the space. Thus, the everyday becomes ritual. And the refuge, a stage."

"Each courtyard responds to the functions around it. The paved courtyard supports outdoor learning and quiet reading, while a sand court with trees allows informal gatherings and group activities. A third courtyard near the sports and preprimary spaces functions as a play zone, with an elevated plinth that also works as an amphitheater. The corridor leading to the preprimary block forms a playful threshold with inverted arches and built in seating."

"One of the main challenges was finding a balance between the contemporary and the vernacular. Instead of replicating traditional forms, a reduced material palette was chosen that values texture, color, and imperfection as aesthetic qualities. The walls, treated with limewash technique, acquire a vibrant condition that changes with natural light, while accents in microcement in pink tones introduce contrast and depth."
