concept
The site is located in the suburbs of Himeji City and is adjacent to the owner's residence.
From the beginning, the central concept of the museum was to create a museum where people could enjoy the collection of paintings in their daily lives.
This museum is not intended to be open to the public. The owner and his family, acquaintances of the owner, buyers, etc.
It is a museum prepared for only a small number of people.
The building is planned to take advantage of the characteristics of the L-shaped deformed land facing the intersection.
The exterior has no visible windows due to its use and several horizontal slits. Glass blocks are installed on the floor of the room,
Reflected light from the floor is brought into the room.
Since the lighting for the exhibition is illuminated from above, the purpose is to equalize the distribution of illuminance during the day.
The only paintings on display are modern Indian art.
The interior is a spiral exhibition space. Exhibits are exhibited while moving through the space in a spiral, from the 1st floor to the mezzanine floor to the 2nd floor.
