京丹波町にある鉄工所敷地内ゲストハウスの庭とテラス。
錆ゆく鉄の儚さを空間の構成要素として取り込み、日々成長する植物と対比の構図を表す。地表を鉄板で仕切った水鏡は、日々移り行く周囲の山々の風景を切り取って写し込む。
水盤から流れた水が鋼管の水琴窟に一滴ずつ落ち込み、静寂に包まれる京丹波の山奥にやわらかな鉄の音を奏でる。
This garden and terrace are part of a guesthouse located on the grounds of an ironworks in Kyōtanba Town. The design incorporates the transience of rusting iron as a spatial element, creating a visual dialogue with the ever-growing plants. A reflective water basin, bordered by iron plates, captures fragments of the shifting mountain landscape that surrounds the site.
Water flowing from the basin drips gently into a suikinkutsu made from steel piping, producing delicate metallic tones that resonate through the quiet mountains of Kyōtanba—an ephemeral sound of iron in harmony with the stillness of the landscape.
