View from Our Room

I will share some pictures of our room. All these buildings were designed by Ando - I spelled it wrong earlier it is actually Tadao Ando. Here is the link to his information and list of works on Wikipedia.

Anyway, it is hard to capture the power of his work on film. I will share here our room and the views from it, but so much is lost in the process. It was such a pleasure to have a space to be in and not feel like you were missing out on anything. It was an important part of us just being able to relax.

You walk in the door to the room and you can see all the way down the hall and out the large window/door that leads to the patio and out onto this view.

This picture is of the ceiling - which emphasizes how important natural light is to the room








This is the view from the patio down to the door. There are so many little details that led to excellent use of space, those are very hard to translate through these photos.








This was the bar/ tea area/ sink with storage space underneath and above.










These are hooks and a place for shoes that is closed off by a rolling door.
