Bubbletecture H by Shuhei Endo
October 16, 2008 by UltraFuture
Endo Shuhei’s Bubbletecture H is constructed almost entirely from locally-sourced Japanese cypress trees - an exceptionally durable and lightweight wood. The bubble’s exterior is shielded with a 1.2mm layer of steel that acquires a thin layer of rust-red coloring as it ages, and up top it features a partial green roof made with local moss.
The rust patina of the aged steel roofs of the Shuhei’s bubbletecture is just as pleasing as the green of old brass detailing. Check out the photos http://www.inhabitat.com/2008/10/16/bubbletecture-h-by-shuhei-endo/
