Posted on 30. Mar, 2011 in Architecture
The plot of ground is located in between two rivers surrounded by breathtaking countryside and with the view of a cathedral, Ventana mountain range and a canyon with a stream and rank vegetation.

One of the most original element is the facade made from corten in warm tones of orange, red and brown. Entire outside covering looks very dynamic, assembled from a series of circles creating the building`s spine what accentuates its horizontal line.

House in Kodaira by Suppose Design Office
At the “fingertips” openings were created that illuminate the dramatically curved interior walls. The museum’s dish-like roof channels rainwater through the central atrium of the building creating a 35-meter water drop into a small pool. The rainwater is then recycled for use in the building’s restrooms. The author of the design is the world-renowned architect Moshie Safadie. The ArtScience Museum features 21 gallery spaces totaling 6,000 square meters that will deliver exhibits from art and science, media and technology to design and architecture.
