Takasugi-an Tea House, Japan

Size: A3. Pencil drawing of Takasugi-an tea house designed by architect Terunobu Fujimoriin in Chino, Japan. The craftsmanship involved in engineering and assembling this unique piece of architecture is what drew me to study it. Moreover it's use is beautiful and simple; with a interior built with plaster and bamboo this building is quiet and harmonious, and literally elevated from society allowing it to be a extension of the architects personal inner peace.
