A dome-shaped
greenhouse made from paper tubes reveals by opening the door

Paper tubes, a key feature of Shigeru Ban's architecture, are also used here as a principal structure.
When you open the door, a soft arch designed by connecting big tubes of paper stretches out in front of you.
Mr. Ban's willingness to search for structural beauty is clear.

The dining room, which attracts into the grape branches, is a space with a sense of unity with the grape lattice which extends to the outside of the window.
You can spend a relaxing moment in the gentle atmosphere created by the paper and the beauty which harmonizes with the landscape.

Mr. Ban also designed the chairs, tables, and the wagon planters for indoor herbs.
With unique aesthetics and attention to detail, he tries to create a beautiful space where the whole building is united.
