This site is located in Miyakojima, approximately 2000 km away from Tokyo to the southwest. Miyakojima belongs to a subtropical oceanic climate and is surrounded by blue sea and coral reef, and the limestone rose island of Ryukyu. The building needed to be able to close to make shade and to open for ventilation, due to the hot and humid climate in this typhoon-prone region. The plan was made to accommodate typhoons and shut out the sunlight by leading with the construction through which a wind blows.
