作品概要: This bridal salon in Shirokanedai, Minato Ward, is equipped with a
chapel and restaurant. Decorat ive louver panels were installed outside the water exclusion line. The panels, arrayed in 51 columns on three vertical levels, were made of GRC, with surface coating and Oya tuff stone texture finish on all four sides. By normal construction methods, it is possible to apply texture to up to three sides, using rubber molds, but in this project, all sides were textured, to satisfy the designer’s wishes.
