Benesse House
1992Naoshima, Kagawa
On Naoshima, Tadao Ando’s Benesse House joins museum and hotel so art, sea, and architecture share one stay.
Guest rooms and galleries form a continuous environment, with art indoors and out. Concrete walls and openings frame Seto Inland Sea light and views.
Highlights
- Openings — How do wall thickness and window position crop the sea or garden?
- Circulation — Where do museum paths and guest paths overlap or diverge?
