Fudo HOTO in the foot of Mount Fuji by Takeshi Hosaka

A simple view is an igloo or a tent in the desert. Maybe a cloud at the foot of Mount Fuji, but in fact it is the restaurant HOTO Fudo. The latest proposal architectural Takeshi Hosaka. Japanese traditions and industrial materials to create an evanescent space that integrates with its natural surroundings.
Imagine enjoying a bowl of noodles – the traditional Japanese noodles – in the clouds. Enjoy the airy feel of a smooth geometry that allows the light is lost in the infinity to meet the highest mountain in Japan. That is the feeling that has managed to create Takeshi Hosaka in your noodle restaurant.
Heir to the traditional Japanese Zen architecture and the spirit of masters such as Toyo Ito and Kengo Kuma, the Japanese study Takeshi Hosaka Architects has created a space into the landscape that plays with the condition the indoor climate.
A reinforced concrete structure that allows outside air to flow through the openings in the walls, the raindrops act soundtrack and the fog visit diners to accentuate the feeling of closeness to the snowy mountains. An architecture impersonator rounded shapes of igloos and fluffiness of the clouds that offers visitors the feeling of outdoor dining with the comfort of the interior.
Takeshi Hosaka have not used the finest materials in its construction, to the doors, when used, are made of acrylic to reinforce the sense of open space, but it has respected the traditional principles of architecture Japan: the slowing of time, accuracy and attention to detail, the nudity and the purity of the components, the use of light as a compositional element, and supueto, the use of geometry and proportion of space as a structuring element.
A concrete igloo large spans and arches all over that is integrated into the landscape and lives surrounded by highway, nothing to do with the aesthetics of the fifty United States in which the cars were more than one local apédice and waitresses with skates and rays uniform serving orders.
The minimalist interior resembles a school canteen with long tables with benches to be distributed almost randomly through space, allowing the openings to the outside to ensure visual contact with nature, abstracting traffic. A delight for the senses.
