名護市とつながる古宇利大橋は海上から見ると美しい景色が広がる観光スポットとしても有名であり、橋の上から見る海も美しく、ドライブや散歩にも最適なロケーションだ。
ここにアート・自然・ホテルをキーワードにした複合施設を計画している。

周囲の豊かな自然と溶け込むよう、建物壁面には溶岩パネル等を配し、樹木が建物の多いこの建物自体も将来的に自然の一部と帰すように計画している。

In order to blend in with the rich natural surroundings, lava rock panels have been placed on the walls of the building, and the plan is for the building itself, which has many trees, to become part of nature in the future.
