Portal for Japanese minimalist architecture

Garden Terrace Miyazaki hotel was built at a vast site near JR Miyazaki station, where a factory once stood.

Around it, houses and apartments spread in no particular order.

Facilities of the hotel — guest rooms, banquet room, and restaurants are arranged to circle the courtyard.

A loosely sloped roof came out as the result of each function underneath. It wraps the entire building — a two-storied structure under the deep eaves.

Bamboo is planted and water is laid out in and out of the hotel and its courtyard, providing a calm and tranquil environment that stretches even to the residential area.
