Design Concept

Island seems isolated from context, but we think in a different way. We make the island boundary “CURIOSITY”. Curious boundary can be attracting people and advertising our programs.

We only have one access point from the town. So, we propose several devices to increase curiosity and create a mysterious place through linear access. The gradational sequence at the entry point will be uplifting the visitors’ feelings and preparing their experience on the Island.

 

Master Plan

The building was cut and divided to provide the same feeling that visitors came to a small village on the island. We propose architecture and landscaping to make it feel like Snoopy's home and village, and we create a variety of experiences in space to blend in with the nature of the island. While taking a walk in the building, visitors will encounter the surrounding nature and event by chance.
