Ribbon Chapel

This stunning architecture is a chapel in Hiroshima.

"The chapel is midway on a hill enjoying a panoramic view of Seto Inland Sea of Japan. Mainly used for weddings, the chapel stands in a garden of a resort hotel, “BellaVista SPA&MARINA ONOMICHI,” in Onomichi, Hiroshima. By entwining two spiral stairways, we realized a self-supporting structure that architecturally embodies the act of marriage in a pure form."
