Wedding chapel at Hoshino Resorts Tomamu in Hokkaido: a cross set against a pool, reached through a wooded approach.
You walk through trees and curved walls before the space opens to water. Nature is not a backdrop but the ceremonial front.
Highlights
- Water and cross — How does reflection change the cross?
- Approach — How does the path raise expectation before the chapel?
