Glass / Shadow

Lakewood Golf Club Tomioka Course
432 Kokuwahara, Tomioka-shi, Gunma, Japan
1996.03
Club House
8,1870.9m2

A clubhouse for a golf course sited in the mountain area of Gunma prefecture.
In order to clear the structure off the indoors/outdoors boundary surface as much as possible, cantilever structure and suspension structure were adopted. Floor boards of pre-stressed structure enabled the realization of the 9-meter cantilever. By protruding large eaves over the boundary surface, the shadow cast by the eaves erases the glass membrane itself, creating a feeling that people are floating over the green.
