Hat on the Ridge Residence and Gallery

Interior Space and Exhibition Design Hat on the Ridge Residence and Gallery by Kiyotoshi Mori Earthen floor connects with the bedrock, and square roof opens to the landscape - The space was vertically diversified by adding the floor on the ground and levitating the roof over the earth. The roof lowers down towards the roof edge and heightens up in the center. Each of the four edges of the roof opens to a different view: the mountain, the valley, the village, and the sky. Responding to these rich surroundings, each edge is flipped up to make four different spaces with different views. In the corners, the upper level floor is cut through to the ground to connect the two levels.
