Japanese Estate Sakurajima - Architecture Design (2017)

An Estate with Multiple Buildings in Full Japanese Style
Sakurajima, Japanese for 'Cherry Blossom Island,' serves as the working title for an extensive project in the Netherlands. It is a commercial venture encompassing multiple Japanese-themed pavilions nestled within an encompassing stroll garden with a Japanese motif. Six pavilions, based on the modular 'Furi Damu' design, will be constructed within this unique setting. The estate aims to showcase pavilions exclusively designed for growing, nurturing, demonstrating, and selling Bonsai trees, along with Koi fish. Additionally, a pavilion dedicated to Japanese antiques will be featured.

The project will also place special emphasis on culture, manifested in the form of an authentic Kyudo Dojo for practicing traditional Japanese archery. This Dojo will serve as a hub for various Japan-related activities, lectures, and demonstrations. Moreover, it will function as a dedicated shooting area for the Dutch Kyudo community.
