RETREAT IN KARUIZAWA

The request from the client is to design a hut that could be used as a peaceful resting space for the visitors who visit the wild flower garden that she has been working on in collaboration with a landscape architect for years.

The client is a painter who has been painting the wild flowers of Nagano for decades. The act of maintaining and inviting visitors into the garden is her way of showing her sense of gratitude towards the plants.
