'Soil' and 'Porosity', this building design was inpired by the characteristics of the material - Ooya stone which is soft to touch with its softest portion- the 'miso'- formed of soil trapped within it. A soft and warm ambience that invites the user is induced in the space through the extensive use of this stone.
The Ooya stone is stacked in pairs and woven into a basket like surface. Steel plates form the broad skeleton of the structure and the stone surfaces are woven between them.
