After creating and constructing post-tsunami rebuilding homes in Sri Lanka, Shigeru Ban was hired to create a home for the proprietor of a nearby tire business. The floor, walls, and ceiling of this building, which is perched
atop a hill overlooking the ocean, frame three distinct vistas.
The outdoor hallway connecting the previous home to this one and the roof frame the first perspective, which is the ocean as seen from the jungle in the valley. The following picture is a horizontal view of the ocean from a
hilltop, which is framed by a sizable roof and a floor supported by poles with a 22 m spread.
The expansive roof is first waterproofed with light cement planks, then covered with woven coconut leaf material—commonly used for property fences—to both filter strong sunlight and merge the structure with the surrounding environment. The teak used for the ceiling is 3mm thick and 80mm wide, and it is braided into a significant amount of wickerwork.
